Very cool cover, but I already own the original Nightmare boxset, as well as the 2-disc of Freddy vs. Jason. Looking forward to the reboot.

Does this duplicate the extras from the previous collection?  Looks like a bare bones... but way more compact.

I'll stick with my regular boxset thank you very much.

i know right?  i thought it was Jackie in the small version on the other article...but then i opened this and noticed the old glove right away but yeah...thats definately Jackie and not Robert....man, i know New Line is pretty much kaput now but sheesh...respect "the house that made you"  lol

and to those wondering if the extras from the previous set will be there, it says "8 discs" on it. all the extras were on an 8th seperate disc in the original set so this must be all bare bones. well Part 1 is probably the Infini-Film version like the blu-ray but yeah. and that means even Freddy Vs. Jason will be bare bones since it was a 2 disc set by itself.

so yeah....good price for 8 movies but if you're a fan and dont have it, just find the original box set. its available for around the same price and has much more content.  

A complete waste of money. That's all I have to say.

That set is just godd * * m lazy in every meaning of the word from the case design to the extras (or should I say lack thereof). New Line may not be its own studio anymore like it was LOTR days, but it IS called The House That Freddy Built for a reason.

Cool but are you kidding me?!

Actually I think only disc 8 has the spanish subtitles.  If you look, it says English (all 8 discs) and esp (disc 8)

I may just get this as I've never purchased the original box set, and the two '4 Film Favorites' releases are yet to be found in this neck of the woods.  

This just pisses me off. I've been dieing for a better box set (i've had the first one since I got first got a dvd player), or at least special edition individual releases of the sequels! I was already on the fence about the new film, but now, seeing how they are treating the originals, I don't even want to see it.

Also, I've never been so pissed off at cover art before. Why is Jackie Earle on there!? The company must really think low of Nightmare fans. Seriously.

Wow, how much more disrespectful can you get. First imply that an original movie wasn't quite as good as you wanted it to be by making a remake and now with this absurd cover! (Aesthetically I like the design but man this takes a s**t on Englund!)

So only the final 15 minutes of Freddy's Dead are 2D only? Strike one. Only disc one is included from Freddy vs. Jason? Strike two. This set is only available in DVD format? Strike three.

believe me, the 3D ending to Freddy's Dead was cheap and pathetic even in theaters back then.  lol

Oh man, I was hoping the 3D ending was at least watchable. Freddy's Dead is easily the worst film I've seen, but the one thing keeping me coming back for multiple viewings was for the finale in 3D. But still, if the original release kept the 3-D version of FD, so should this set. Lately newer set have been taking out extras from the older sets. It's pretty lazy.

I am buying the original set simply because they f***** this up by not putting the original freddy on there. Screw that, I was excited about this set until then. Not that the new freddy might not be bad just for the sake of consistancy and respect for RE.NoES is my favourite horror movie, the remake has me terrified because of Micheal Bay's directing. He destroyed FT13th to me and I don't want him to destroy NoES, but JEH was the best choice they could have made IMO if they HAD to remake this so who knows. Still a horrible idea overall and only makes this atrocity of a cover art worse.
