Welcome to Primetime

Advantages: The films, An abundance of extras, Everything really!
Disadvantages: Nightmare 2!

...starring some little-known actors, including a rather young and cute Johnny Depp. Nancy Thompson and her friends are having nightmares, all about the same frightening man who has a razor fingered glove on his right hand. When one of her friends dies violently in their sleep, Nancy realises that these are more than just dreams, and that she must stay awake until she can figure out a way to stop this murderous monster. Wes Craven, when discussing ...
...about a man who used to scare him as a kid, which is who he based Freddy Krueger's look on, although Freddy is named after a bully at Craven's school. He also says that he was thinking about what could be the most scary thing in the world, and came to the conclusion that the most scary thing would be something that kills you in your dreams, since there's no way of getting away from that - you can't NOT sleep. Absolutely right. This could be why this ...

The Elm Street Boxset collection

Advantages: A Nightmare On Elm Street and New Nightmare
Disadvantages: Part 2 and Freddy's Dead

...Kruegar"(Robert Englund) was born in a truly terrifying independant film that would go on to become on of the most successful series in modern day horror. A Nightmare On Elm Street tells the story of a child murdered who was burned to death by angry parents ten years before after the courts allowed him to go free. Now, the children of those parents are suffering from dillusional nightmares about a disfigured phantom with finger knives who is trying ...
...that is let down by a rather sloppy ending, but benefits from a brilliant premise, good characterization and some smashing special effects. Its also Johnny Depp's first feature film. The rot set in fairly early in the Elm Street series. The second film shifts gear from the horrors of the first film to a silly "Invasions of the Bodysnatchers" theme, where Freddy Kruegar haunts the dreams of newcomer Jesse (Mark Patton), who might or might not be ...

...Door 5, 6, Grab A Crucifix 7, 8, Better Stay Up Late 9, 10, Never Sleep Again... This collection of Freddy mayhem will have you entertained for hours, from its blood soaked rooms to its humour. It changed the horror movie business when it was release and is arguably the best horror to grace our world... Freddy, Michael and Jason are the 3 icons of classic horror (with Ash a close behind). The first time i saw Nightmare on Elm street was when ...
...it I had a nightmare of him... He chased me to school, every kids nightmare is going to school (isn't it?). The DVD box set is a great buy for all you horror fans. It has every movie and some special features, I bought this around a year ago and have watched it many times. The quality of the movies are better than the VHS versions. ...

Legends Never Die They Just Keep on Killing

Advantages: Freddy Krueger, Legendary Horror
Disadvantages: They go downhill (with the except of number 7)

...on elm street 1 as a young child and until recently had forgotten about it. Now having watched the film once again on TV have been hooked and i bought all the sequels and i was not disappointing, Freddy Krueger is without a doubt the most original killer of all time and Wes Craven is a genius (he directed 1, 3 and 7) Despite the films being awesome its sad that part 5 and 6 cannot compare with the films before although in part 7 Wes Craven kills ...
