This is a great boxset. I especially like the "Nightmare Series Encyclopaedia" DVD which is awesome! So many rare clips and behind-the-scenes footage that I never even knew existed.

Although NOES 4-The Dream Master is my personal favourite, I would definitely start with the original if I was a newcomer to the series. It's the scariest one, and obviously newcomers get to see the REAL Freddy:Scary, dark and creepy, and not the wise-cracking, stand-up comedian in the later films.

Hmmm, I wonder how accurate this is:

"ROBERT ENGLUND OPEN TO RETURNING AS FREDDY KRUEGER — UNDER ONE CONDITION !
Robert Englund, the legendary actor who defined the terror of Freddy Krueger, has recently hinted at the possibility of reprising his iconic role-yet he firmly insists on one non-negotiable condition. In a candid statement, Englund revealed that he would only return if the project's creative vision truly honors the dark, twisted essence that made Freddy a household name in horror. He emphasized that any new script or reboot must maintain the original's blend of relentless scares, biting wit, and a haunting atmosphere, ensuring that the character's legacy is preserved without compromise. This stipulation not only underscores Englund's passion for the franchise but also his desire to see a modern retelling that pays respectful homage to its chilling roots. As whispers of a revival begin to circulate, fans are on edge with anticipation-could this be the spark that reignites the nightmare on Elm Street? Only time will tell if the visionaries behind the project can meet Englund's exacting standard, but one thing is certain: if he returns, Freddy Krueger's reign of terror will be more menacing than ever."

I've actually been watching a few "Freddy's Nightmares" episodes on "Dailymotion"recently, and let me say that some episodes are more creepy and graphic than the actual movies! Even though I like the first episode, "No more Mr Nice Guy", it still kind of creeps me out every time I watch it. And not only when Freddy gets burned and becomes a dream killer, but even when he's alive in the first half of the episode. It's got a very creepy vibe to it that episode.

It seems like everyone hates NOES 2 so I think I should just skip it and go straight to 3 after watching the original

Is there any plot carried over from 2 to 3?
slope game

I think part 2 is actually better received now than what it was back in 1985. And to be honest, I love part 2. It's dark, it's creepy, and Freddy's makeup is probably the best in that one (along with part 3 and 4). I know that the film has been criticised in the past for its "homoerotic tone", but it's still pretty creepy. And Freddy is not a "comedian" in the second one, unlike in some of the later films when he literally becomes a stand-up comedian! The pool-party scene when Lisa's father shoots at Freddy, and he starts hissing angrily and has that evil look on his face, still freaks me out a bit to this day.

I was watching the Original last night, and one thing I never noticed was when Nancy says "Ok Krueger, we play in your court", and pulls down the shade, she's actually wearing her jacket, but as soon as she walks over to her bed, she's in her pyjamas.

My biggest fear is they hop on the streaming bandwagon and turn it into a series. I could only see it working if they did like in Freddy's Nightmares and make the stories detached from Freddy for the most part or keep his inclusion minimal and special. Movies are where it's at for me at least.

I disagree. I think Freddy's Nightmares would've been a huge success if every episode was about Freddy, if the episodes were based on the movies. That's not to say it was a flop: I think the series had some great episodes, and some were actually very graphic!😳But I think most Nightmare fans (myself included) probably didn't want to see random characters in the series suffering some sort of mishap or trauma in Springwood. The hardcore Nightmare fans would've wanted to see all the episodes involving Freddy, him going after teenagers in their dreams, figuring out a way how to destroy him. I know it becomes tedious when you constantly have the same storyline every episode, but I think New Line could've worked around it. That's just my opinion.

I recently watched The Nun 2, and The Exorcist Believer. I liked them both. Good to see Ellen Burstyn from the original 1973 movie make an appearance.

I agree. I actually respect Marge a lot. I know most of the parents in the NOES films whose teenage kids are being stalked by Freddy in their sleep, are in denial that Freddy is haunting them, at least Marge kind of understands what Nancy is going through. Even though she clearly explains to her that that's not reality, someone trying to kill you in your dreams, she knows that something is going on, she kind of shows her compassion. Obviously when she takes Nancy down to the cellar, and tells her who Freddy was, she knows her daughter is not crazy. And there's also a deleted scene when she's talking with Don at Rod's funeral, and tells him, "this reminds me too much of 10 years ago".

If anyone has the full interview, please let me know. I've been looking for it for ages. I remember watching it when I was about 8 years old. Love the sunnies on Freddy!

Well, the new Halloween movie gets released next week. Hmmm... will this finally be the last one where they destroy Michael once and for all, or will the "almighty dollar" speak, and they'll continue the franchise? 

This one:

The only scene I know where blood comes out of the TV is Freddy’s Dead, right after Spencer dies. When Freddy is controlling him in the video game, and falls into that pit,  we see blood pouring out of the TV. It must be that scene.

Here's a better pic , as I've outlined it
