- The fictional street address of Nancy's house is 1428 North Genesee Avenue, about eight blocks from the Sycamore studio, and it looks the same.
- One of the first things one participant did on arriving was visit the Elm Street house with a friend, Jeff Burke, and stand in front of it feeling scared.
- Side streets off Beverly in West Hollywood feel like the suburbs; the Halloween house off Sunset by Orange Grove and the Happy Days house are within a half mile.
- Craven thought about a sickle before the glove, and the 2010 remake with Jackie Earl Haley made Freddy a child molester.
- The disputed ending is a dream within a dream within a dream; in Dream Warriors, all of Nancy's friends are dead, she has taken a drug not to dream for five years, and her mother later dies in her sleep.
- The car they drove away in was a 1958 Cadillac Series 62 convertible; one ending had Freddy driving them off, and the top fell harder than it was supposed to, so the scared reaction is legitimate.
- The radio station is KRGR, the acronym for Kruger, and the establishing shot of the kids in the house shows a hat on a rack and a figure that looks like Freddy looming over them.
