Last year, Warner Bros. / New Line Cinema celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Wes Craven-directed classic A Nightmare on Elm Street by giving the film a 4K UHD release. Soon after that, fans started hearing rumblings that they’re planning to follow up that release with a Nightmare on Elm Street franchise 4K UHD box set, with A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge director Jack Sholder and Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare director Rachel Talalay both confirmed they were working on regrading and remastering their films. Now, details on the box set have been revealed by our friends at Bloody Disgusting! The A Nightmare on Elm Street 4K franchise box set is scheduled to be released on September 30th (not the 23rd, as previously reported) and it’s available for pre-order at THIS LINK.
What’s interesting is that this remains a seven-film box set, just like when the films were first released on DVD. It includes A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child, Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. The Friday the 13th crossover film Freddy vs. Jason and the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street have been left out (a Warner Bros. employee has even been quoted as saying the company doesn’t see the value in upgrading Freddy vs. Jason to 4K – which is bizarre, given that it’s part of two popular franchises and was a box office hit)… but that’s not going to make most fans any less likely to buy this set.
Two brand new special features that will be included on this set are Boiler Room Confessional: The king of slashers, Robert Englund, takes us on a journey through the dream world, sharing what inspired Freddy Krueger, his rise as a cultural icon, and the legacy of A Nightmare on Elm Street, plus his favorite kills, scenes, and more. / Freddy’s Footnotes: Robert Englund and original A Nightmare on Elm Street filmmakers revisit iconic scenes, revealing the movie magic and chaos behind our favorite nightmares. Pull back the curtain and relive epic moments through the eyes of those who made them.
There’s also an alternate ending of Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare presented in anaglyph 3D and complete with 3D glasses in the physical collection. Here’s the list of special features (unfortunately, without full descriptions:
