Nightmare On Elm Street Anthology, Volume 1

Absolutely loved it! Excellent editing overall. Those extra scenes added so much more to the story! Can't wait to see more extended versions of the Nightmare on Elm Street series!

It's as visually good as it could be for the time, and some of it really holds up even today. It's fascinating to me to see the lines and shots that get left on the cutting room floor and the different texture that they give certain characters and moments.

In technical terms, this is an edit that definitely shows its age a bit, as the menus require a bit of squinting and the re-integrated deleted scenes are far from seamless; however as an overall package, this is one of the best. Plenty of extras (2-discs!), lots of alternate takes and generally just a lot of fun. Might not be my definitive way to watch the original Nightmare going forward, but as a treasure trove of rare behind-the-scenes material, this is an essential augmentation to any Freddy Fanatic's shelf.

As a huge fan of the whole 70-80's horror genre I found this version absolutley essential for both the initiated and uninitiated. Of course you should always own the original version before before acquiring this one bt if you were having someone over you can rest assured that if you play for them this version they will have a great time. Thanks for all the time you dedicated to create this masterpiece.
