Summary: No Greatest Hits
Comment: If you are a Freddy fan, this is a great deal.
But, do not expect to have the Freddy's Greatest Hits in with it.
I was very disappointed. I even did an exchange and still no Greatest Hits.
If this does not matter, then it is a great deal..

Summary: Horror Classic
Comment: I have yet to watch any of them...why you ask? Cause my fiance is petrified of Freddy! WE are adults now and she still has any image burned in her head of that melted grousum face! She really thinks that he will come for her in her dreams...when we get married first thing will be to watch all of them straight!

Summary: Just great horror movie of 80's
Comment: Great price for value. Great classic horror movie series with overall plot, actor and actress, director (how was movie was taken), special effect. You have to see to belive it with own eye. I think Wes Craven's movies are still best horror movie there is now.
Customer Rating:

In the trinity of modern horror films, there's the father (Michael Myers of Halloween), the son (Jason of Friday the 13th fame, a knockoff), and the unholy spirit, Freddy Krueger of the Nightmare on Elm Street films. The spectral man who haunted the nightmares of unsuspecting teenagers with deadly consequences, Freddy (as played by Robert Englund) was a truly frightening bogeyman and icon for the '80s. Unlike the hockey-masked Jason, who dispatched horny teenagers with mechanical and monotonous ease (he never talked, never took off his mask), Freddy was a truly creative and diabolical villain, with a sadistic and blackly funny personality. The hallmarks of the Nightmare on Elm Street series were imaginatively gruesome suspense pieces, set in the overactive imaginations of the teen victims. The first film of the series, Wes Craven's truly intelligent and scary film, was so hugely successful it begat not one, not two, but six more sequels, each pretty much diluting the originality and horror of its predecesor. (Horror fans will fondly remember Drew Barrymore's assertion in Scream that the first Nightmare film was great but all the rest sucked.) Still, there's fun to be had in the remaining films in the series, seeing as a number of aspiring filmmakers cut their teeth on the continuing saga of Freddy. Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) and Chuck Russell (The Mask) worked on the third installment, Dream Warriors (starring a young Patricia Arquette), and Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2) came to prominence with the ingeniously macabre fourth film, The Dream Master, coscripted by Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential). Craven and original star Heather Langenkamp did return for the last film, New Nightmare, which presaged the tongue-in-cheek postmodernism of the Scream films and resharpened Freddy's ability to scare. --Mark Englehart
