Curiosities[]

About adaptation[]

Unlike the previous three installments, the film's title was adapted as "A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 4".
Kristen's name is pronounced as Kristin, only in some exceptions is it called with its correct pronunciation.
Before Joey dies, it can be noticed that there is an MTV interview on his TV, which MTV pronounces as "emeteve", when its correct pronunciation is "emtivi".
Freddy used to call women "bitch", this is the only chapter in which it is literally translated as "bitch", since in previous and subsequent installments it was translated as "damn ".
In previous chapters the translation of Freddy's song was literal. For reasons unknown in this chapter it has a different translation, so it has a rhyme.
- In addition, when Freddy enters the church where Alice is, "Seven, eight, the... has broken" is heard, leaving the word in the middle unknown.
Freddy gets to tell Alice "welcome to the wonderland, Alice" (welcome to Wonderland, Alice) making reference to the work of Lewis Carroll and that both protagonists have the same name in English. But in the dubbing the reference is lost when adapting to "Welcome to my home, Alice".

About the cast[]

For unknown reasons, Pedro D'Aguillón Jr. does not repeat his role as Freddy, being replaced by Carlos Magaña, who hosted the saga until this installment.
Of the characters from the previous chapter that appear in this chapter, they have a completely different voice cast.
When Freddy appears dressed as a nurse, he is not voiced by Carlos Magaña, but is voiced by Magda Giner who also does the voice of the real nurse. In English, Freddy's voice as a nurse is Robert Englund.
At the beginning of the film, as in the previous chapter, a sentence appears, which this time is not read in voice-over, nor was it subtitled, only the name of Robert Englund is read.
