WHO has a flash back?!
Eight years after the first film a group of dirt bike enthusiasts – including Ruby (Janus Blythe) from the original, now called Rachel – decide to take a shortcut across the desert to get to a race on time. This proves to be an error in judgment. You see, something awful, and hungry, and awfully hungry, still prowls the desert….

Sometimes a different route is a good idea.
Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) is still a little messed up from the events of the first film, but not so messed up that he skipped becoming a cop; although being tightly-wound and shooting people for no reason is a bad idea. He takes his girlfriend, Maggie (Kari Wuhrer), out to visit his old friend Capt. Esteridge (played by Stephen Hair this time) when his bitch girlfriend insists on stopping for a hitchhiker … also named ‘Jim’ (Jake Busey), then, as in the first film, things go badly….

Satan whines.
Matt Winslow (Robert Urich), his wife Pat (Joanna Cassidy) and their kids Robbie (Barret Oliver) and Chrissy (Soleil Moon Frye) move to a new community for Matt’s new job. Local powerbroker Jessica Jones (Susan Lucci) takes an interest in the newcomers and Matt begins to believe that something’s not quite in this town, something evil. Probably has something to do with the big country club where suited men in trucksters run down women and then melt into Spiting Image puppets. Maybe something to do with that…

Shocking it is not.
High school football player Jonathan Parker (Peter Berg) has a dream in which a serial killer, Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi), kills his foster family. He rushes to the scene only to have his foster father Lt. Don Parker (Michael Murphy) tell him that his dream was true. Pinker is arrested and executed, but, like Freddy Krueger – who Pinker is nothing like, I swear – that only makes him madder and more powerful….

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.
Teenagers Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp), Tina Gray (Amanda Wyss), Glen Lantz (Johnny Depp), Rod Lane (Nick Corri) and others are having bad dreams. When they compare their dreams, they find that there’s a creepy guy – who turns out to be Fred Krueger (Robert Englund) – in all of their dreams. Their parents get cagey when they start asking questions and, when the deaths start, it’s clear that something is horribly, horribly wrong….
