15 Movie Titles That Blatantly Lied To You

10. Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

New Line Cinema

What It Suggests

That Freddy Krueger is dead and that this time it's forever and there won't be any more stories in which he terrorises victims from their nightmares.

The Truth

So, you can't really argue with the first part of title, because Krueger absolutely IS dead. He's been dead for ages, but it's the inference that he's really dead dead and won't be coming back that's the problem. Sure, they didn't pull any post-credits boo-hockey by bringing him back immediately, but this was NOT the Final Nightmare.

The reality is that there have been three more Nightmare On Elm Street movies since this sixth chapter was released. And there will be more.
