The freddy nursery rhyme starts up, and a little girl goes into a furnace room on her tricylce and announces to our dreamer that "This is where he takes us". Soon the dreamer is in a goopey blood pit, and here's Freddie. Then there's a room full of hanging victims. She wakes, and goes to clean up. Surprise, she's still asleep. Her mother wakes her as she is in the process of cutting her wrist. We move to Weston Hills Psychiatric Hospital. There has been an alarming increase in the rate of teenage suicides. Authorities have suggested a number of theories to account for this trend. Dr. Gordon and Dr. Sims are suicide experts. In comes Kristin, and the first thing that happens is she has a scalpal. She begins to recite the rhyme, 'five six get your crucifix,' and then in comes the new psychiatrist, Nancy, and finishes the rhyme. This disarms Kirstin and she collapses into Nancy's arms. Dr. Gordon sees a nun, but she disappears immediately. How is she involved? Now has Kristin gone back to sleep? That's not too good. Freddy is in the process of gobbling her up when Nancy is drawn into the dream and immediately stabs the Freddie snake. Kirstin then pulls them out of the dream. It turns out that Kirstin could always bring her father into her nightmares with a girl, and she just showed that she still has the power. One of the kids in the group therapy session brings up the following fact that doesn't seem to impress anyone: they all dreamed about the same thing before they met. The psycholpogist's unconvincing answer is repressed guilt. Another strike against psychology. Nancy wants to prescribe a dream suppressant. The idea of prescribing a psychoactive drug to suicidal teenagers is deemed by Dr. Sims, the head doctor, to be unacceptable. Soon Freddie engages in a little pupeteering with one of the boys. Philip's death was a sleep walking incident. One of the girls says that that monster's done it. The hypnosill arrives tomorrow. One of the boys is in isolation. It's going to be difficult to stay awake. Jeniffer wants to be a TV star. Watching Dick Cavett and Zha Zha on TV, pretty soon Freddie shows up and asks Zha Zha who the fuck cares about what she thinks. Soon Jennifer heads in toward TV stardom. At therapy, the numbers are depleting. Nancy tells them about Freddie. They do hypnosis, to our thinking without adequate preparation, and soon are all in the dream world. Joey is lured away by implausible affections on the part of the attractive nurse. The lot of them escape only by dint of the happenstance that the Dr. Sims drops by. Doctor Gordon is led to a snakepit style mental institution by the Nun. The story of Emanda Kreuger is told: she was raped hundreds of times by the criminally insane. She was found with child. Nancy goes to her father to find the bones of Freddie Kreuger. The psychiatrist goes to Nancy's father and insists they find the bones. Religious paraphanalia are gathered as well. They've isolated Kirstin. The only hope is to use the synchronizer to hypnotise themselves into the dream world to save her. Unfortunately, these kids aren't all that ready. Will their dream skills be enough?  Emanda Kreuger 1907-1968.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
