10 Awesome Horror Movie Moments That Make No Sense

10. The Pool Party Massacre - A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge has undergone something of a more positive critical re-evaluation in recent years, with many drawing attention to its intriguing homoerotic subtext.

But you know what folks always loved? That delightfully unhinged scene where Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), while possessing protagonist Jesse (Mark Patton), rocks up at a pool party in the real world and just starts slaying fools left and right.

In addition to stabbing and slashing numerous hapless teens, Freddy heats up the swimming pool, causing those who fall in to be boiled alive, while leaving others to be burned to death and trampled by the panicking throngs.

And the scene culminates with one of Freddy's most all-time badass lines, as he tells the survivors, "You are all my children now," before burning a hole through the fence and peacing out.

As awesome as the scene is, it's nevertheless one of the most lore-breaking moments in the entire Elm Street franchise, because the entire point of the original movie was that Freddy can only attack people in their dreams. 

Here he's out in the open causing havoc, and even accepting the series' loosey-goosey approach to its own internal logic, it's completely devoid of sense.
