I always imagined it was a nod towards the alley scene in the original. I never noticed anything skeletal about it though (until he kills Dan?) Maybe it's something else entirely. I'll have to watch it again.

My theory is it's b/c he GREW so fast it left him distorted, for a while until he sheds his hand in Dan's truck.
Also when he is "blown" off the podium his feet look skeletal as well. Or to ME any way.
Just because we lose today's battle doesn't mean we've lost tommorow's war.

That's what I thought! I thought it was a nod to the first Elm Street seeing Freddy for the first time.

Yeah, just a little too odd, surreal and dream-like for a movie called a NIGHTMARE on Elm Street.

Because he is using an unborn soul as a conduit maybe one hand was longer than the other because he was unformed?

That's what I think too. His whole body was distorted.
His left hand was HUGE and skeletal.

According to the makeup designs for 5, the extra-long arm is supposed to show that Freddy's body hadn't grown back properly. He went from baby to a more "teenage" form. You know how a teenager's body is awkward and gangly? That's what this was supposed to be. He hadn't fully-formed into grown Freddy. They even called the design "Teen Freddy."
He still looks like normal Freddy with a jacked-up left hand though.

Freddy left his deformed arm in Dan's truck, even when Freddy is in the passenger seat, the "tree branch" looking hand is still sticking out of the radio.
