    Nathan's right, the waterbed, was in Dream Master, with Joey's Death.

    I think they are referring to the god know i think 600 galloons* of blood death, where Johnny Depp got sucked through the bed.

    I don't care for this film, honestly , reboot not needed, Other than Jackie playing Kruger this film officially sucks and so do Platinum Dunes because they keep just remaking horror films.

    That wasn't a waterbed in the first one. That happened in the fourth one, Dream Master.

    yeah man im looking forward to seeing rorshack play freddy, i think he'll do the role justice, and with him cast it makes me think the remake will be less silly than the originals.
