In Greta's scene, Freddy slices open a doll that begins to bleed and Greta is shown to have a gaping wound in her stomach, from which Freddy starts to feed to her. In Australia, the scenes were cut in cinemas, but restored to the VHS release. In Mark's death sequence, Freddy turns him into paper and shreds him before beheading him; the decapitation scene was deleted from the original version of the film. Despite this, the Australian Classification board did not rate it "R18+", giving it the lower "M15+" rating. As of 2022, New Line Cinema has yet to officially release the uncut version of the film on DVD or Blu-ray but excerpts of these scenes are found in the Nightmare 5 section of the documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy. Music The soundtrack album consists of ten tracks. The first side consisted of heavy metal and hard rock songs, while the second consisted primarily of hip hop songs.
