The OAO Nightmare on Elm Street thread

Recommended Posts

I mean something similar to the F13 version. The boxed set that's out now is just all of the single DVD's grouped together. That is, unless there's been another release that I've not been made aware of...

 

That's what a box set is, individual items put together in a box...hence the name. What the heck else do ya want? As for like the F13 version, the only difference between the F13 and Nightmare sets is they were to cheap to give each of the Friday movies it's own disc, it's the same individual releases<only two movies squashed onto each disc for F13>. So, yeah...what exactly would a "proper" release entail?

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for?

 

Similar to the F13 version in sizing, I mean. Not content. Something a little more compact.

I totally forgot Johnny Depp was in the original NOES, wow. He went out like a motherfucker too!

Amazon lists a 2-disc edition of the original NOES. I don't know what are the extras.

 

No re-releases of the other movies though. Anyway, the boxset is good enough and had dropped in price, so it's not that expensive now.

It's weird because they don't list any of the extras on the 2-disc set for the original NOES. I already have the box set, but I would probably double-dip for the original NOES if the extras are good, all the sequels I am perfectly happy with as just being part of the Nightmare Boxset.

I saw an ad for the new NOES DVD in the upcoming releases catalogue we got at the Blockbuster I worked at over the summer. The only listed extras were those that were on the original DVD, so I'm thinking they got some of the stuff off the original laser disc and added a new retrospective or something.

IIRC Robert Englund wasn't able to do commentary for the last NoES DVD, so it looks like I'll be picking this up. Also, I heard the deleted scenes will be in there along with Tina's (?) death being restored (its edited / altered in the current final cut).

Did anyone think it was annoying or just plain stupid that they tried to explain Freddy with the demons? That annoys me because they did the same thing in Jason trying to explain him with demons and shit.

Why can't they just be evil with something supernatural happening to them?
