During production, the writers, director, and producers couldn't figure out how to kill Freddy at the end of the film. Eventually, during a meeting, they discussed all of the possible ways to kill a villain or creature in a film (shooting, stabbing, burning, et cetera). They then realized that all of the methods they were thinking of came from external forces, and they decided to do just the opposite, come up with a way for Freddy to be killed by an "internal force". Thus, the concept of Freddy's reflection causing the souls of his victims to revolt and tear him apart from the inside was born.
