Curiosities[]
- Patricia Acevedo repeats her role as Alice from the previous installment, this being the fifth and last consecutive time that she would participate since the beginning of the saga.
- Mónica Estrada, René García and Ariadna Rivas again play Alice's group of friends as in the previous installment. Alejandro Mayén, Rocío Prado and Humberto Vélez also participate again in the saga, but with different characters. The latter, despite participating in the previous installment, does not repeat his role as Alice's father.
- Sergio Gutiérrez Coto does not repeat his role as Dan Jordan from the previous film, being replaced by his brother Andrés Gutiérrez Coto.
- In this chapter and unlike the previous ones and the original audio, Freddy has a distorted voice.
- This dubbing is very similar to the Spanish dubbing, since in both dubbing many environments and gestures were left in English. The difference is that in some scenes the gestures, shouts and laughter from the original audio are mixed, while in the Spanish dubbing they are superimposed on top of the original audio, resembling a voice-over.
- Most of Freddy's gestures and some of the characters are left in the original language. Freddy's on some occasions are mixed with those of the dubbing.
- This time the title of the film is ignored and only the subtitle of the film is mentioned. "The Child of Dreams".
- On the Frecuencia Latina channel in Peru, an insert is added to the movie at the beginning. Although it is not called a Nightmare on Hell Street, but as a Nightmare on Elm Street 5, the same title it received in Spain.
