It was a good price for the collection. I thought it was a blue ray set so I was disappointed after opening the package. The movies are alright :)

The pictured box set is NOT what you will receive. Really looked forward to getting the box set and ended up being a regular size DVD set....yes it has 8 disks but it is not the box set pictured!!
Very disappointed!!

This is a great box set for the first seven films.
The first Nightmare Film is the same as the Bluray single. This is great because it's the best transfer of the film that's ever been made. It also has the special features from the Infinifilm DVD Edition, which was the best collection of special features for the first Nightmare Film. The first film also has a 7.1 surround track; whereas the other films have a 5.1.
There are only two downsides to this set.
1: No 3D Ending for Freddy's Dead. The original DVD Box from the 1990's had the option of watching the ending in 2D or 3D (with glasses included.) This box only has the 2D version. Not sure why the Friday the 13Th Box gets Part 3 in 3D with glasses and Elm Street got left off the bus for this one. But, it is what it is.
2: You're also missing the bonus DVD from the original 1990's Box. This DVD is worth getting if you can find someone selling it online on its own. It has some special features that are a little out of date, like a quiz game that offered a prize that is now expired. It would have been nice if they would have re-tooled the disc; but it is what it is. Honestly, though, it's not a super must have as they have migrated the relevant features from that disc to each film's special feature section. So, you still get the featurettes and music videos that were on that DVD. But, the DVD was special as it hid those features as things to find on a 'up, down, left, right, enter' screen labyrinth (with I think puzzles) that clearly took a lot of work to make and was very fun to play through. That all being said, you're not missing any content (as far as I can tell) by not having the old DVD disc.
The important thing here is the movies; and they are all looking and sounding the best they ever have. They all blow away the DVD releases in the past.

An amazing boxset of a legendary horror franchise

I am a fan of the nightmare on elm street movies; I would recommend purchasing this box set, all movies are in wide screen, and have optimal sound quality. My favorite the nightmare on elm street movies would have to be the first 2 movies. I like the first, which is directed by Wes Craven. All the nightmare on elm street movies have great special effects, and Robert Englund as Freddy Kreuger, I think revolutionized a new era in the term slasher flicks. If your a fan if 80's slasher films then the nightmare on elm street movies are a good bet that you will enjoy one of the greatest franchises in slasher films. By purchasing the whole entire box set, minus Freddy vs' Jason, Freddy Kreuger is in a league of his own, along with Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, in the term slasher films, watch them over and over again you will be glad you did.The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection
A Nightmare on Elm Street part 1 - Classic film and the best of the series, Freddy is probably the most frightening in this one, a cult classic. Even if you hate the rest, i'm sure you will love this one. It starts out as a young teen girl's (Heather Langenkamp) friends start dying in their sleep by you guessed it Freddy Krueger, as the movie goes on you learn a little about Freddy's history and how he came to be,Johnny Depp's movie debut. I give this 5 out of 5 stars.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2. How do you follow up a great movie like the first? Well, eh. They really didn't, one of the worst installments in the series right after the best (go figure) A young man moves into the same house as the girl from the first movie (Heather Langenkamp) and Freddy uses his body to come back, this movie suffers from havin a poor leading man and a leading woman that is too ditzy, however Robert England doesn't dissapointed and is as scary as the first, making this atleast watchable. I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars.
A Nightmare on Elm Street part 3 This right here, should have been part two, bring's back Heather Langenkamp's character and her father, this time she finds some teenagers in a mental institution, who have been having some pretty bad dreams..... this movie has strong acting by every character (even the ones who don't stay very long) here Freddy gets a bit of humour, while staying scary though ( the humour isn't over done like in future movies) I give this 5 out of 5 stars.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4. sees the return of the surviving members of part 3, however, if you loved, part 3 the first 20 minutes or so might be a little vexing to you.Features a new hero (lisa) and her often dim witted yet charismatic boyfriend. This movie isn't great but definetly good has good actors and a few bad ones, Freddy is still Freddy and this is one of the better sequals. I give this 4 out of 5 stars.
A Nightmare on Elm Street part 5 Sees the return of Lisa. The story is Freddy comes back and is turning her unborn baby into a prodidgy of himself. The plot is one of the best, just not acted out very well. Freddy gets a little too funny. Yet is full of likable heros. Also goes deeper in Freddy's history While it isn't the best it is far from the worst and one of the most under rated in the series. I give this 3.5 out of 5 stars.
A Nightmare on ELm street part 6. One of the worst, plot is not thought out well and freddy goes over the edge with humor, few people die and the deaths take way too long. However, you learn the most about Freddy in this movie and that is the main reason to watch it. The plot is, that there is only one more kid left on Elm Street (our old pal Freddy did away with the rest) however the final kid has a bad case of amnesia and can't recall anything. Features scenes with a pre-teen human Freddy and a teenage human version of him, with a guest appearence by Alice Cooper as Freddy's drunk abusive father. (maybe somebody should have told poor old Freddy just because you were abused, you shouldn't abuse others) I give this one 2 out of 5 stars.
Wes Craven's New Nightmare The biggest turn in the series, Freddy gets an upgrade and for the first time, is in the real world. With this plot, the "A nightmare on Elm Street" films are just that films. Heather Langenkamp stars as herself and Wes Craven is in it as just Wes Craven, however when Heather's son starts believing in him, he comes to life, when Wes finds this out he flees. ( I would have loved to have seen a Wes fighting Freddy scene.) A new twist is just what the series needed after part 6 but i'm glad Freddy went back to the world of fiction in "Freddy vs Jason" good film. I give this 4 out of 5 stars.

This box set is very convenient & easy to store anywhere in your house. No more worries about where you left one of the discs last time you watched it, or having to put all of the cases in a lousy plastic bag next time your friends want you to come over there place to have a ''Freddy Night''. Great design and graphics. Even though I already own this classic masterpiece series on individual dvd's, I felt that it wouldn't be right to pass this up. Comes with 3-D glasses for one of the movies made specially for 3-D viewing & a bonus disc for the computer loaded with extras. Any freddy fanatic has absolutely no excuse in the world not to have this in their place! In fact, anybody have popcorn :)

This series is one of the best horror series of all time. It's right there with Friday the 13th, Halloween and He11raiser. I assume at this point, everyone has seen atleast one of these movies, but if you haven't, you're really missing out. My wife and I's personal favorites are the first and third. I highly recommend this box set, not only for the price, but because of the special features and quality of sound and picture. All these great movies have been digitally remastered in widescreen presentation. A definite must own for any true horror movie collector!
