| - Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare is a 1991 horror-fantasy film, the sixth, and as the title suggests, intended to be the last film in the series of films featuring Freddy Krueger. However, the box office success of the film prevented the series from ending (much like Friday the 13th parts four and nine). Another film, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, was produced following this film. Though the film was critically panned, it was successful financially. It was New Line Cinema's first film that released partially in 3-D.
- Robert Englund reprises his role as Freddy Krueger; Lisa Zane, Yaphet Kotto, Breckin Meyer, Shon Greenblatt, Ricky Dean Logan, Lezlie Deane and Tobe Sexton also star. Additionally, several well-known actors make cameo appearances in the film, including Johnny Depp (whose screen debut was in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street), Roseanne Barr, Tom Arnold, and Alice Cooper. Iggy Pop sings the movie's title song, which plays over a montage of scenes from the previous Nightmare movies during the end credits.
- The movie was a moderate box office success. It was made on a budget of $11,000,000 and earned more then $34,000,000. The film was rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for horror, violence, references to drugs and bad language. A sequel, Wes Craven's New Nightmare was released in 1999.
- Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (also known as A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy's Dead, The Final Nightmare) is a 1991 American comedy-horror slasher film and the sixth film in the Nightmare on Elm Street series which was supposed to be the final film in the franchise.
