- Released with 44 sec of censorship cuts in Sweden.
- When originally shown in theaters, the final sequence was shown in 3-D. When released to VHS, the finale was shown in standard 2-D format. The 3-D sequence was reinstated for the laserdisc release, which showed the entire film in standard format, but then included the 3-D ending as the final chapter of the disc, after the movie. The original DVD release in 1999 gave the viewer the choice to watch the film with either the 2-D or 3-D endings; and two pairs of "A Nightmare on Elm Street"-branded 3-D glasses were included in the seven film + Encyclopedia box set.
- The original UK rental VHS contained the 3D sequence and included 3D glasses. These glasses, similar to the ones handed out in cinemas, contained adverts for House Party 2.
- The UK cinema version was cut by 6 secs by the BBFC to remove all footage of throwing stars, and video releases featured the same print. The cuts were waived for the 2001 DVD release.
- In the theatrical print of the film there is a "cue scene" where Maggie looks directly at the audience while holding the 3-D glasses and says "Now" indicating that is when they are supposed to put on their 3-D glasses. She then puts the glasses on herself. This brief moment was edited out of all home video versions of the movie for being too direct and cheesy.
- The newly-updated DVD version gives the viewer the choice to watch parts of the movie in 3-D or standard.
- Television versions often have alternate takes of profanity-laced scenes, such as the "Free me, you idiot, i'm your f**king memory!" scene. Also, in the original version, the map that Carlos is lost in is supposed to read "You're F**ked". Instead, the TV version has the map saying "You're Screwed".
- There is a workprint version floating around which contains about 20 minutes of cut footage and dialogue.
- The version that aired on UPN actually had all the violent scenes in full, (only the language was edited). However, the TV version also had a few scenes and extensions of scenes not included in the theatrical and home video releases. These include: Maggie having a talk with her mother after having a nightmare before leaving for the youth shelter, a little bit more footage in the beginning of the scene with Tracy and Maggie are in the van after John was killed, a few extra shots of the desolate "Springwood Fair"
