Langenkamps voice appears three times in the song "Are You Ready for Freddy" by the Fat Boys, which plays at the end of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master . In the full version of the song, you can hear her say, "Dont fall asleep", very faintly right before the first chorus. The other two lines in the song are "Fred Krueger, Mom. Fred Krueger." and "Hes burned, and he wears a weird hat, and a red and green sweater really dirty.".

It took her seven years to receive her English degree from Stanford University because she was working at the same time.

In Wes Craven s A Nightmare on Elm Street , Heather played a 15-year-old girl. In a particular scene, after her character has experienced some bizarre events and is rather beaten down, she looks in a mirror and says, "God, I look 20-years-old." The joke here is that even though Heather was playing a 15-year-old, she was actually 20 years old.
