 Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
I have to give Rachel Talalay credit for this was a decent vehicle for her to make her directorial debut since she'd been affiliated with this series for years before making this movie, but the story couldn't have been weaker.
Freddy is starting with a new group of teenagers who aren't relevant to the previous five movies in any way which make them as victims and characters (and, in some cases, as actors) even more forgettable than this movie.
The only good thing that can be said about the sequels to this movie is that the eerie element is present in all of them, but is negligible due to overly high body counts, weak stories, and comedy.

 Classic-Horror Review of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
The plot of Freddy’s Dead is a bit strange, but manages to build on the lore of the Nightmare stories through perfectly paced flashbacks and dream sequences.
Meanwhile, Freddy attempts to lure teenagers back to Springwood after the town has apparently lost its entire population of children and is infested with lunatic adults (including Roseanne and Tom Arnold).
The "who's Freddy's kid" angle adds a bit of mystery to the typically stagnant Krueger mythos, and also means the writers, Talalay and Michael De Luca, flesh out the film’s characters a bit past the typical "dead teen" stereotype to fuel the suspense.

This is one of the earlier Freddy adventures, before Brooks had really hit his stride as a writer.
That's what Brooks did in "Freddy the Politician." The book appeared in 1939 and unmistakably reflects world events of the time, just as other Freddy books are flavored by the Depression and the Cold War.
Freddy the Politician was one of these, and likely the most sophisticated (keeping in mind that we are dealing with books about talking farm animals) of the series.
