What's left behind the scenes
- The first film in which a male actor plays the role of the Queen of Scream.
- This film is the only one in the Freddy Krueger series that lacks the original musical theme by Charles Bernstein or its variation.
- Robert Englund played the bus driver in the opening scene of the film.
- Brad Pitt, John Stamos, and Christian Slater auditioned for the role of Jesse.
- Freddy received significantly more screen time than in the first film.
- The original Freddy glove was stolen during filming.
- Wes Craven refused to work on a sequel as he didn't want to make one. However, Craven's ideas for the first film were borrowed for the second. For example, an alternate ending in which Krueger takes Nancy and her friends away in a school bus became the opening scene.
- Due to the film's abundance of homoeroticism, against the backdrop of the escalating AIDS epidemic and homophobia, Jesse's actor, Mark Patton, left show business and remained out of the public eye for many years.
- The tongue scene was shot by the film's second unit director because Jack Sholder couldn't stop laughing during filming.
- Above Jesse's bed in his room, a Simple Minds poster for “Don’t You Forget About These” hangs on the wall. In reality, the song is titled “Don’t You (Forget About Me).”
- Visual effects specialist Rick Lazzarini created a monstrous version of the Walsh bird. However, it was decided that the bird should look more realistic.
- Former executive producer and head of New Line Cinema, Robert Shaye, appears in a cameo role as a bartender in a sadomasochistic club that Jesse visits.
- The Swedish version of the film was cut by 5 minutes.
- Almost all of the bloody scenes were cut from the German video version, making the film, in the opinion of fans, practically uninteresting to watch.
- In the original video release, the song "Touch Me" plays during the end credits, followed by Christopher Young's music. In the restored version, Bing Crosby's song "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking?" plays during the credits and also appears in the list of songs used in the film.
- The film is the second of three parts in which the main character lives in house #1428. In the other films, the house is abandoned.
- The first film in which a male character appears as the Scream Queen.
- Wes Craven refused to work on a sequel as he did not want to make one. However, Craven's ideas for the first film were borrowed for the second. For example, an alternative ending in which Krueger takes Nancy and her friends away on a school bus became the opening scene.
- Former executive producer and head of New Line Cinema, Robert Shaye, appears in a cameo role as a bartender in the sadomasochism club that Jesse visits.
- Initially, Robert Englund was not offered to return to the screen as Freddy. His request for a higher fee was denied, and a stunt double was hired and filming began. Two weeks after filming began, producer Robert Shaye realized this was a mistake. The stunt double was let go, the role was given to Englund, and his fee request was granted.
- The original glove from the props of Wes Craven's horror film *A Nightmare on Elm Street* (1984) was used in this film; it could also be seen on the wall of a barn in Sam Raimi's *Evil Dead 2* (1987). Similarly, in *The Evil Dead* (Sam Raimi, 1981), *A Nightmare on Elm Street* (Wes Craven, 1984) is shown on television. Raimi and Craven regularly included references to each other's films in their work. When Craven borrowed the glove for filming *A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors* (Chuck Russell, 1987), it was accidentally lost. Over time (in 2009), a fan of the franchise discovered the glove and put it up for auction.
- Makeup artist Kevin Yagher replaced David B. Miller, who created Freddy's look in the original 1984 film, in this capacity. To recreate Freddy's appearance, he had only a few photographs and the first film in the franchise, meaning he had to work almost from scratch. After studying photographs of fire victims, Yagher slightly altered Freddy's appearance, emphasizing his cheekbones. According to his own words, Yagher wanted Freddy to look like a male witch. To achieve this, he made Freddy's eyes red and yellow, giving them a more 'demonic' look.
- Many criticized the episode where Freddy appears to the group in the pool during a party as the most inappropriate and violating the rules established by Wes Craven in the first film of the franchise (Freddy's victims should not be people who are awake).
- When Jesse, played by Mark Patton, transforms into Freddy, the viewer can notice Freddy's eye peeking out of Jesse's open mouth. To film this scene, a model of Patton's head was made with a hole for Freddy's eye. Only a friend of Kevin Yager (who was responsible for the special effects) was able to fit inside this model. This scene became the only one in the entire franchise where Freddy is played by a woman (not counting the times he pretended to be other people in dreams).
- Above Jesse’s bed in his room, a Simple Minds poster for “Don’t You Forget About These” hangs on the wall. In fact, the song is titled “Don’t You (Forget About Me).”
- In the original video release, the final credits first feature the song "Touch Me," followed by music by Christopher Young. In the restored version, the credits play Bing Crosby's "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking?" and it also appears in the list of songs used in the film.
- This film used the original glove prop from Wes Craven's horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984); it could also be seen by viewers on the wall of the barn in Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead 2" (1987). Similarly, in "The Evil Dead" (Sam Raimi, 1981), "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (Wes Craven, 1984) is shown on television. Raimi and Craven regularly included references to each other's films in their work. When Craven lent the glove for the filming of "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" (Chuck Russell, 1987), it was accidentally lost. Over time (in 2009), a fan of the franchise discovered the glove and put it up for auction.

To recreate Freddy’s appearance, he had only a few photographs and the first film in the franchise, meaning he had to work almost from scratch. After studying photographs of burn victims, Yagher slightly altered Freddy’s appearance, emphasizing his cheekbones. According to Yagher himself, he wanted Freddy to look like a male witch. To achieve this, he made Freddy's eyes red-yellow, giving them a more “demonic” look.
