"This is the "Score" for the movie. Craig Safan creates some pretty cool/eerie music for this film. If you are looking for the actual songs that were in the movie, you'll have to find the "Soundtrack" used since it is now out of print. It had songs from Blondie, Vinnie Vincent Invasion and Go West among others.Sadly, that "soundtrack" is missing some of the best songs from the movie: "I Want Your (Hands On Me)" by Sinead O'Connor played during the weight lifting scene and the start of the end credits; "Nightmare" by Tuesday Knight (who played Kristen)played during the opening credits; "Fatal Charm" by Billy Idol which played during the waterbed scene; Anything Anything (I'll Give You)" by Dramarama played when Rick practices his karate in the garage, then again when Alice discovers she now has this power and "Are Your Ready For Freddy" by The Fat Boys played during the second part of the end credits.Fortunately, these songs are all available on the actual artists' albums (available on amazon.com). Thank God for CD burners. I can now make my own personal "Nightmare 4" soundtrack."

"The song playing when Alice's brother is using the punching bags is "Anything, Anything" by Drama Rama."
Too many scores, no music soundtracks

"I give 3 stars ONLY because there is a lack of the original music soundtrack. Like many NOES fans, I am one of those who really miss the ability to have the MUSIC soundtracks for 4,5,and 6. All that seems to be left are the original SCORE soundtracks. Luckily I have picked up NOES 4 used, and I may soon get my hands on NOES 5.
For those who keep asking what the song is that first Alice's brother listens to during his karate practice and later when Alice prepares to fight Freddy, it's called "Anything, Anything" and it's by a group named Dramarama. I know this helps, as I used to search for it, too."
The Soundtrack is a winner, but not as good as music sntrk

"This review's coming from a diehard NIGHTMARE fan. I've never heard this soundtrack, but as I read the track listings, I can recall each scene from the movie. The best thing to come from this movie is the music soundtrack, which is - as far as I know - out of print. With songs like Love Kills (Vinnie Vincent), Back to the Wall (Divinyls), and Rip Her to Shreds (Blondie), it's a must have. Unfortunately I only have the cassette, am searching long and hard for the cd. As a whole though, NIGHTMARE 4 is one of my favorites among the series, and anything you can get associated with it will be a good choice."

"*The title song is by Tuesday Knight, its called 'nightmare' (running from this nightmare). AHHH I can picture the scenes to the scores, cool use of instruments, and the music is done by Craig Safan who did the soundtrack to the wonderful 'Fade to Black'."
