Read Nancy's Diary.
"Fred is very dangerous... But the thin is, he can only hurt you in your dreams.  Whatever happens in your dream happens in real life.  It's a good idea to have someone there to wake you up in case of emergency.  Otherwise, you might ant to fall asleep with a weapon in your hand - it will be your only defense."

Click the light bulb and decide if you want to proceed.
I select the YES.  For an alternative... see below.

Shoot his hand each time he apears.
Then while you wait, shoot the wooden bean on the left. After some time this beam will fall on Fred.
Shoot him.

ALTERNATIVE:
Go to the TV.
While the TV is on, use the weed.
You will end up in Freddy's video game nightmare.

The trick is to whatch his hand... when it moves you need to jump.
After about a minute of jumping you will escape and get the holy water.
Note: If you failed, you will have to restart the game to try again...

Now go to the bedroom and select YES.  At the end, use the holy water on Freddy.

Well done on escaping from 1428 Elm Street!
