Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (also known as A Nightmare on Elm Street 6) is an American slasher film, released in 1991. As the title suggests, the film was intended to be the last in the series of films featuring Freddy Krueger, wherein the character would be killed off. However the success of the series prevented it from ending (much like Friday The 13th part 4 and part 9). Another film, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, was produced. The character of Freddy Krueger then returned in 2003's Freddy vs. Jason.
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 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 all six Nightmare movies (at that time) and the end credits.
In part six of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, dream monster Freddy Krueger has finally killed all the children of his hometown, and seeks to escape its confines to hunt fresh prey. To this end, he recruits the aid of his (previously unmentioned) daughter. However, she discovers the demonic origin of her father's powers and meets Dad head-on in a final showdown (originally presented in 3-D). Written by David Thiel
