I guess this is becoming a regular feature on my blog. I sat down and re-watched yet another classic horror movie, "A Nightmare on Elm Street," with a finger on the "pause" and "rewind" buttons constantly, and with a pen and paper handy. As usual, I fully admit that these questions are the very definition of trivia--mostly minor details, not very relevant to the plot. So even the most rabid fans surely can't answer all of these, I think. Anyway, here we go. Obviously there are many SPOILERS of the movie, so be forewarned. Also as usual, these are mostly asked in the order that they appear on the screen. Answers are below, so you can write down any guesses if you like.
