The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection (1999) DVD

[kardallastx]

August 30, I purchased a highly sought after A Nightmare on Elm Street 8-disc DVD collection from 1999 that can be very difficult to buy at a good price and condition.  It is the one that the 7 films from A Nightmare on Elm Street-Wes Craven's New Nightmare are in separate cases.  I already own Freddy vs. Jason in the two-disc edition DVD (not the slim case, regular size case) from several years ago, 2015 or 2016.  I have the A Nightmare on Elm Street two-disc New Line Platinum Series DVD.  I have Freddy's Nightmares: A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Series on Blu-ray from a fan produced forum website that the main person made a custom box set of the entire series with unreleased extras.  I have the 2011 I Am Nancy DVD documentary that Heather Langenkamp produced and an autographed picture with the order from 2012.  I purchased the digital release of it with the exclusive extras June 2, 2019.  I also have Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy two-disc regular edition DVD from Christmas 2011.  It includes an eighth disc of features that most have never been re-released again since.  It has a great behind the scenes booklet and 3D glasses for Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.  The condition for the one I purchased is listed as Very Good, but it looks nearly Brand New.  I paid $30.30 for my purchase.  I think that is a fantastic deal for how varied the condition can be from others selling it.  I have had 8 of the films in two 4 Film Favorites cases that are good, but the discs are stacked one on top of the other.  I have been wanting them separate since 2011.  I am extremely excited to be getting this.  I think I am lucky to get a set of this at that price in excellent condition with the booklet and 3D glasses included.  This video explains in better detail what this set is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T-265t_mQ4  The Nightmare on Elm Street 1999 8-disc DVD collection arrived September 3.  It is in immaculate condition.  Disc 8, The Nightmare Series Encyclopedia, is a phenomenal bonus disc with features most not re-released again since.  I greatly enjoy the 3D sequence of Freddy's Dead, even though the film is not that good.  The outer box is beautiful.  I normally try not to get collections in a box, but this one is one of the best I have ever seen.  I usually have bought collections in separate cases so I would not need to deal with a box.  Freddy is a somewhat dark brown color along all three sides.  The image of Freddy's back when the disc cases are in the correct order is fantastic.  The behind the scenes booklet gives a lot of information I never knew about.  The price of $30.30 was completely worth it and a worth while purchase.  If anyone is able to get this with the booklet and 3D glasses in a good condition and price, that would be a wonderful set for anyone to buy.

I like it; it feels like a game title.

I like that collection, but it is not that one.

For a dedicated collector like you, this feels like checking off a long-standing item on your wish list, and the near-brand-new condition makes it even sweeter. In the world of movie collecting, moments like this are rare and worth celebrating.

I used to collect horror DVDs and know the thrill of finding one I like in near-new condition, especially at a bargain price, it's really worth the money.

In the world of gaming collections, wins like this don’t come often, so it’s definitely a moment to savor.

Thank you to all of you who have replied to this post.  I am very glad to have the wonderful responses like this.  That DVD collection is one of the best I have ever purchased.

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.

It is a fantastic box set and The Nightmare Series Encyclopedia DVD is amazing with rare clips and behind-the-scenes footage that I had never seen before either.  That DVD is a lot of fun to navigate the labyrinth to get to the clips and behind-the-scenes footage.  Learning the clues and secrets is excellent to get through the puzzles and get answers right to move forward through the labyrinth.  It is great getting hidden objects to use moving forward in the labyrinth.  The end of the labyrinth is excellent to get to and achieve the goal at the end of the hospital.  The clips and behind-the-scenes are a lot of fun to see.  I love the short featurettes, and seeing the clips of Freddy Krueger having fun doing various random things is a lot of fun.  The music videos are incredible being able to see those in better quality than how people have them uploaded.  Everything in this box set is exactly what I wanted when I first got the films in 2011 along Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy DVD, which I still have that from Christmas 2011 that my mom and dad got the two 4 Film Favorites sets of the films and the documentary DVD.  Later in 2012, I ordered a very rare DVD, I Am Nancy, the one about Heather Langenkamp getting her character Nancy Thompson out in the world more.  This has been a very special series for me since the 1980's-mid 1990's.  I am glad that I got back into watching them in Christmas 2011.
