What happens

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare is a 1991 American 3D slasher film directed by Rachel Talalay (in her feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by Michael De Luca. It is a standalone sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989) and the sixth film in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The film follows Freddy Krueger as he manipulates a teenager with amnesia to escape Springwood and find new victims. This was New Line Cinema's first 3D film release. The film stars Lisa Zane, Yaphet Kotto, Breckin Meyer, Shon Greenblatt, Ricky Dean Logan, Lezlie Deane, Tobe Sexton, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. Additionally, several well-known actors make cameo appearances, including: Johnny Depp (whose screen debut was in the original film), Roseanne Barr, Tom Arnold, and Alice Cooper. Iggy Pop sings the title song, which plays during the end credits over a montage of scenes from the previous films in the series. Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare was released on September 13, 1991. The film received negative reviews from critics and grossed $35 million in the US on a budget of $9–11 million, surpassing its predecessor's gross. While originally intended to be the final installment of the series, it was followed by the non-canonical Wes Craven's New Nightmare in 1994. A sequel, Freddy vs. Jason, which also served as a crossover with the Friday the 13th franchise, was released in 2003. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
