at the second annual elm street high school reunion, three women discuss how all their classmates have mysteriously died. the sex ed professor appears and corrects them, explaining that their classmates fell into orgasm-induced "pleasure comas" while they slept. the professor theorizes it is the work of freddy, a sex toy salesman who sold overpriced and shoddy merchandise. angered by freddy's defective products, the townspeople set him on fire, with the professor throwing the first match ("that guy sold me a crappy toy. told me it was a fleshlight. it turned out just to be a flashlight"). freddy burnt from the waist up, and as he died he swore he would get his revenge on his killers through their children. the professor is dumbfounded by the girls failing to remember this (they witnessed freddy's burning, and attended the block party celebrating the event) and warns them not to fall asleep.
