Novelization: 1989
*NOTES: During the teens' arrival at school, Debbie steps on a cockroach and kills it after she finds it in her food. Also, Rick later shows up as a meatball in one of Alice's dreams and has his head punctured by Freddy's claw and is subsequently eaten by him.
*In the 1989 double-feature novelization of the fourth and fifth films, Rick's death is different. It doesn't feature the karate-style death; rather, he falls to his death down the elevator shaft created while he was dreaming in gym class.
