It has been five years since the events of the first film. A new family, the Walshes, have moved into the former home of Nancy Thompson. The son, Jesse (Mark Patton), happens to move into Nancy’s old room. He eventually begins to have nightmares of Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) demanding that Jesse kill for him using Jesse as a host body to come back to life in the real world.

Jesse’s girlfriend Lisa finds Nancy’s old diary in Jesse’s closet in which she had been keeping track of her nightmares and her encounters with Freddy. Reading the diary strikes a chord with Jesse as he is experiencing similar nightmares himself. He goes to his parents in a panic, but they argue and Jesse storms out.

Jesse later finds himself walking the streets late at night and walks into a bar where he runs into his gym coach. His coach takes him back to the gym to run laps. The coach has Jesse hit the showers while he goes back to his office. While he is in his office, the shelves begin to come alive, hurling balls and other sports equipment at him. Two ropes grab him by the wrists and drag him into the shower. The shower fills with steam and we see Freddy’s silhouette in the background, clawing the coach’s back. As everything comes into focus, Jesse is the one with the glove on his hand.

Lisa begins to do some digging and uncovers information about Krueger, including the location of the abandoned power plant where he used to work, and where he brought his victims. Meanwhile, Freddy visits Jesse’s younger sister, Angela, but when she wakes up, it’s actually Jesse standing there with the glove on his hand. Jesse enlists his classmate, Ron Grady, to watch over him while he sleeps. Once Jesse falls asleep, Grady turns out the lights for himself. As soon as Grady is asleep, Jesse awakens and begins to scream in pain – Krueger is coming out and Jesse cannot stop him. With the door jammed, Grady is helpless against Krueger, who impales him on his own door with his glove. When Krueger looks in the mirror it turns out that it was Jesse, with Krueger’s silhouette staring back at him from the mirror. Read more
