25 WTF Moments From The Nightmare On Elm Street Films

14. Freddy Is Killed By His Own Reflection - A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewl4-AnvHGk Throughout the Elm Street franchise, Freddy has been killed in many interesting ways: they burned him, burned him, and even used holy water. However, the most ridiculous way that Freddy has met his demise has to be when he is killed by looking at his own reflection. Alice faces Freddy using all the powers and abilities of her fallen friends, but can't quite defeat him. Finally she remembers the entirety of an ancient nursery rhyme and forces Freddy to look into a mirror at his own reflection. For some reason this gives the souls he has devoured power to push themselves out from his flesh and tear him apart. This deadly spectrophobia is never explained, and it's probably best not to think about it too much.
