Jason had a bigger knife, and Michael Myers got the trendy Rob Zombie treatment. But ol’ razor-hand had the best musical moments by far. The highlights:

Dokken, “Dream Warriors” – Is Patricia Arquette scared of Mr. Krueger — or Don Dokken’s fashion?

The Fat Boys, “Are You Ready for Freddy?” – Clad in striped sweaters, the Fat Boys are enticed to spend the night in “Uncle Frederick’s house.” Plus: Freddy raps!

There’s no YouTube video of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince’s “A Nightmare on My Street.” So here’s a truly bizarre karaoke version. Some context for this performance might help … though it’s kind of more amazing without.
