Plot
Since Freddy Krueger's last defeat, he has been in Hell, unable to invade children's dreams as the adults of Springwood have gone to extremes to ensure their children forget him. All mention of him has been removed from public records, and any children who dream of him are forcibly institutionalized at Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital to contain the spread. They are given the dream suppressant drug Hypnocil. Freddy resurrects Jason Voorhees after his last defeat and appears as Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees, to manipulate him into thinking his mother wants him to go to Elm Street and kill. This will create fear in the townsfolk that Freddy has returned, allowing him to regain his power.
