If you’re a patron to the channel I just posted the completely unedited DERON MILLER PART 2 interview showing off his amazing Halloween soundtrack collection plus MUCH more
I’m really praying they do this. I also hope they can find any cut footage for the sequels and put in the cut footage from 1 like all the extra blood splatter.
One thing I want them to keep are the couple episodes of Freddie’s Nightmares and I’d also like them to add in No More Mr. Nice Guy. I had that on VHS and yeah it’s super cheesy of course but it’s so cool they used an episode to show the trial and one of the cops that lead the mob.
Scream factory is honestly our best chance to get these. I mean they knocked the Halloween box set out the park. And I heard they are they doing Halloween 6 and the rest soon. If they get the green light to do the nightmare on elm street 4k box set like they did Halloween, then were in for a treat
@Bluray Monster I guess. I never really look at region locks as a negative especially with DVDs basically every player I had after like 2004 was region free until I switched to Blu Ray
In the UK, NOES 1 & 5 were theatrically released with slightly extra gore as we had pre-MPAA versions. NOES 1 had Tina's blood splash on the bed, and NOES 5 was what you guys in the US had as the unrated version on VHS/laserdisc. New Line recently said the raw footage of NOES 5's uncut deaths are now unusable/in bad shape, so here's a very important and crucial part for a new boxset. Do a scan of the British theatrical prints of 1 & 5 because you will finally have HD versions of those uncut deaths. Arrow Video did the same with Candyman. They found the British theatrical print which was a pre-MPAA version with the psychiatrist's uncut death, and did a scan. They let Scream Factory include their scan for the US release. It CAN happen, and I know there is a reportedly pristine UK print of NOES 1 be shown in some screenings here in the UK and it's been confirmed Tina's blood splash is in the film.
Christian I'm literally cheering watching the end of this video right now! I consider myself a Halloween guy, but Freddy has been with me since the beginning of my horror journey. We do need this! Thanks for this video and opening yourself up!👏👏
This absolutely needs to happen! I'm really surprised that WB doesn't like guaranteed money. Even Paramount who didn't give a crap about Friday the 13th have given us so many options for having better quality Blu Ray's. I really love this video and I hope it reaches somebody at WB
Yeah but even Paramount does bare minimum, they’ve had the cut footage for numerous movies for over a decade now there’s no reason they haven’t been released Uncut
And I hope Scream Factory triple check their controll room of making the disc of A Nightmare on Elm St with no Missing scenes, no messing up on audio, and no F**K up problems with the set because this set need to be made perfect and all the films should not have messed up problems so yeah if Scream Factory does a nightmare on elm st box set please triple check the disc before processing to sell the box set we don't want to have the problem like we did with Friday The 13Th Box Set.
I really hope when they decide to make a new remake that they get creative with the dream sequences. I wanna see Freddy with 6 arms, I wanna see Freddy on a floating island in space, I wanna see Freddy just floating in the air like a god like creature. I really just want creative minds behind it and shutting down bad ideas
Love the passion you have for the nightmare on elm street.yes this need to happen. I had the same exact thought on the box art. These movies helped me thru tough times also. Great job Christian I'm behind you.
I'll probably buy it if they release it. Freddy is my favorite out of the slasher villians. Last week i watched freddy's revenge and watched the special features. They were like 5, 6 minutes i was like that's it! I was expecting more. I still need to buy the never sleep again documentary. I wanna see that uncut version of dream child.
Love this video. New scans are so needed. Your list is great. I’ll add music vids for Dokken and Vinnie Vincent Invasion. I almost wish instead of a box set we would get editions like the Halloween movies got recently, I know all 4K is a dream
I didn't know there were any commentaries for NOES 2-6. I think it'd be cool to have a documentary about how popular Freddy was at his peak. They could even include his music album haha. It'd be cool to get a disc of Freddy's Nightmares too. That'd be a selling point. And I totally get why you're passionate about this. I am too. It's weird how these big budget dramas come out, sweep the critics off their feet, and are forgotten a few months later; whereas cheap, passionless, cash-grab exploitation horror movies get remembered for decades.
Honestly, there needs to all be a 4k scan of all the movies on each disk. All need to include the uncut extended versions. The previous special features can be on its own 4k disk. At this point in the physical disk game, I won't settle with recycled 1080p footage, I want all new 4k scream factory or criterion quality remastered uncut editions. Price point does not matter.
I always thought the scans for the blurays were a bit weird on the bluray/web releases. I think the dvd release is a bit brighter which I kinda prefer, its not bright where it hurts my eyes, but the bluray feels too dark in comparison and I am simply more used to the brighter dvd release. Bonuses I think that should be added are the Fat Boys "Are You Ready for Freddy", Will Smith's "A Nightmare on My Street", and of course Dokken's "Dream Warriors" music videos. Other things like Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy Speaks, and Slash and Burn - The Freddy Krueger Story would be some good extras to add, because they seem lost to time. Maybe as a bonus audio feature would be the 1-900 Freddy call lines, that would be a unique feature. Lastly would maybe be the workprint for Elm Street 2010, as well as Freddy's Dead. I know a bumper/trailer collection is going to be searched for so I can assume they would be added regardless. But while still on the topic of bluray sets, maybe now is the time to finally give Friday The 13th - The Series and Freddy's Nightmares the propery bluray treatment themselves. Those shows deserve it even if they don't feature too much Freddy. Either way I could see the pilot episode of Freddy's Nightmares to be added as a bonus on the Elm Street bluray.
A Nightmare On Elm Street fully uncut, my understanding A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 got uncut theatrical prints in Europe which would be better than the laserdisc! All deleted footage must be included! Freddy VS Jason has more cut footage on the workprint and it should be released! Freddy's Nightmares needs to be included!
YESSSSS I AM HERE FOR THIS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I understand and FEEL that passion and emotion, when it comes to Freddy, these films and needing a box set that they truly deserve!! If Michael and Jason are deserving, then Freddy most certainly should be!
Each individual case for the film should have reversible sleeves. One side the US poster artwork by Matthew Peak, and the other the UK poster artwork by Graham Humphreys. The Part 2 poster in the UK has become quite iconic due to the NES game taking it for its title screen (explaining why Freddy has the Freddy's Revenge hand, not the glove). Must include Never Sleep Again, I Am Nancy, AND Scream, Queen.
well said, horror films mean so much to people and for 90 mins can take you away from any bad times that may be happening in your life at the time. There like therapy in a way.
I say give the people that bought the previous boxset a nice treat and make Freddy v Jason include a 4K with a new interview from the composer or an isolated score track. Makes sure to include all the original audio and the previous features they released like the making of on laserdisc for parts 3&4. Uncut 5: dream child like the return of them Texas chainsaw massacre with SD inserts if that’s the issue. I’d also like the theatrical cut be included on a separate disc if able. Freddy’s dead used anaglyph 3D theatrically so it shouldn’t be difficult to at least include that version.
Love the passion man and I love this franchise. I remember begging my grandma to buy the DVD set. Sitting in my room at her house watching the movies and eating popcorn. The set we have is so disrespectful in so many ways. There's so many great horror box sets out there and for the life of me idk why noes doesn't have one. If not scream factory then somebody please release one. Maybe arrow they've done some great box sets.
If they released a 4K set of all the films and tv show with each having their uncut versions and the 3D version of Freddy’s dead ending would sell out at any number they made. They would easily sell out faster than lord of the rings which is having a reissue already after an individual release less than a year apart
Rewatching Nightmare on elm street as we speak. Just discovered that the original is actually an edited version. 13 seconds were cut to give the movie an R rating. About 6 seconds were restored for the vhs & laser disc and the uncut version was released theatrically in the UK. Most of this footage involves Tina's death. When she falls to the bed she lands and splashes blood everywhere. In the censored version we go from Tina falling to a jump cut of Rod getting splattered with blood. In the US only the cut version has been released since 2006. Count me in on your crusade to get a definitive elm street collection.
It should be 10 discs Christian! You don’t have any theatrical trailers for any of the movies and those were all kickass trailers!! I want EVERY extra from the old New Line box set brought over as well, even the Labrynth, or a new rendition of it. That would be fucking awesome!!! Great video man! I love your passion! Friday the 13th is my favorite horror franchise of all time, but I love me some Michael and Freddy too!!! It was always about the big 3 for me growing up! Those are the true horror icons.
Hell yea Christian! We absolutely need and want a freddy box set, but thank you for this video. It pumps me and makes me more proud to be a horror fan/collector!
Agreed on all points! Nightmare is my favorite horror franchise and it’s sad that the best version of the series we’ve seen is the original DVD boxed set. I would love to see Heather’s “I Am Nancy” doc included, as well as all of the bonus features previously released and some new surprises too. I’m totally with you on this, man! This needs to happen! Have a Happy Halloween!
I would like to see all new 4k scans of all the films, but I agree at least the first 3 and the rest 2k scans. Original color timing. I was fairly happy with the bonus features with the previous set. I would, if possible, throw in the Never Sleep Again disc along with the films. What I would love to see SF do is not only use the original poster art, but where applicable use the alternative artwork for the reverse sides instead of new art. For example, Freddy's Revenge had the couple on the front but when released to video it had Freddy with flames. Or Pt 5 had 2 different versions - one with a baby and one with a carriage inside the crystal ball.
Bravo Christian!! 👏👏Love the passion you have for this topic! I would love to see them do a box set similarly to the VHS set where on the spine you get an entire pic of Freddy. That would be so cool to bring that back. I would also add more documentaries. NOES has one of the best franchise docs out there. Add more Freddy bits, like his tv show, music videos and all that is Freddy. I would snatch this set up in a hurry.
I appreciate your passion for the freddy films . Ive been frustrated that the proper box set of nightmare on elm st hasn't been created and given the love it deserves. Let's make this happen
Christian here are some things they need to include in the box set you forgot to mention: First give us the original 80's/90's New Line logos at the start of each film and not those shitty modern ones on the current blu rays. Nightmare 1 needs to include all of the deleted scenes and alternate endings from the previous laserdisc. They also need to find the full uncut version of Tina's death and put it back in, also there is workprint footage on youtube that should be included as a bonus feature as well. There should be new interviews with Amanda Wyss and the guy who played Rod. For part 2 some new interviews with Clu Gulager(if he's still alive and well enough to do it) and Kim Myers. A Jack Sholder interview would be nice as well. Maybe dig up some deleted scenes if there's any in existence. A Christopher Young interview would be cool. For part 3 some new interviews with Craig Wasson and some of the Dream Warriors. Maybe include all the special effects outtakes and BTS that circulates on youtube. How about a new interview with Dokken? For part 4 some interviews with Joey and Kincaid and what the actors felt about part 4 overall. A new interview with Renny Harlin. Screaming Mad George interview would be nice as well talking about the cockroach scene and how it was done. Maybe dig up some deleted scenes if possible. Maybe interviews with the nerdy black girl and the weightlifting chick. Part 5 should include both versions of the film just like Jason/hell did and give them both 2K scans at least. I'd like to see an interview with the guy who played Dan and have him talk about both films. Also, some interviews with Alice's friend (the pool diver), the comic book guy, and the actor who played Jacob. An interview with Stephen Hopkins as well. Part 6 needs to have the complete uncut theatrical version (the home video releases are all shortened), Interviews with Liza Zane, the karate chick, the guy who played John Doe, and maybe an interview with Iggy Pop talking about his contribution to the soundtrack and how it came to be. New Interview with Rachael Talalay. Part 7 should have new interviews with the nanny, Heather's dead husband, and the doctor. Maybe a special tribute to John Saxon. Also include the vintage soundtrack promo that was on the vhs as an easter egg. F v J I would at least do a 2K scan but if not recycle the old disc with the better DTSHD audio this time around. The remake..... eh, whatever. Every composer from each movie (if possible) should do new interviews for the films they composed, and every disc should include all trailers/tv spots/radio spots/ and vhs promo spots. Every F/X person who worked on the films should do new interviews if it's possible. Nightmare 5 should have the vhs cover as reversible art. Same with New Nightmare and Freddy's Revenge. And lastly, there should be a bonus disc that has all the special features that were included in the 1999 box set and the blu ray set. Also, I would include some vhs box set promos as easter eggs and maybe the Freddy hotline promos as well. Some old cable promos would be cool as well since they did the same thing with the Friday the 13th box set.
This is my favorite movie franchise ever. Me and my brother grew up on all of them. These movies mean so much to me and a lot of people. It blows my mind we haven’t got anything yet lol. I would love to hear your thought on the German box set release, I’m jealous of it
I'd want to see all 4K scans, new commentaries for every film with those involved and superfans (ex. like F13 did with Adam Green) and the big big sell - FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES, the series! I know it's gonna be low quality but we want that so bad! I'd pay a high premium for it too (they could even sell that in a separate set if need be). It's really strange how these things get handled sometimes, they could make so much money on this. I envision a master premium box $200 or so, and an optional 'normie' box of $100 or so and then they can repackage the bare bones for either a budget box or singles even. Most die hards would buy them all anyway. So much money they're missing out on. And then the marketing push with merch could go nuts with tie-in's.
They also need to get out of the way and finally release the Freddy's Nightmares tv series on disk. It's a guaranteed sell, people want it, people will buy it. I already have the TV series on disk, but was from a bootlegged source. It's time for them to finally just get over themselves and release the damn tv show, there's so many crap tv series on disk.
You go right ahead and get emotional Christian... Nightmare on Elm Street was the first movie I remember seeing when it first came out on VHS, I was four years old give or take and I couldn't walk yet... more on that in a minute. Anyway, I can remember watching it sitting on my mother's lap. I don't know why they let me watch it probably because I was so young they didn't think I would pay attention to it or remember it. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and needless to say I didn't have a whole lot of friends growing up so Freddy was my friend so to speak. Back in those days we rented a VCR every weekend and every weekend I got to pick a movie to rent with it and it was always Freddy. Normal kids watch cartoons on Saturday mornings I watch The Nightmare on Elm Street. I agree with most of the stuff that you wrote down however I would drop the remake because let's face it nobody asked for that. If they throw in Freddy versus Jason I would like the disc to be a Shout Factory disc... special features I think it would be cool if they could include interviews with Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastman, Patricia Arquette and if they can do it Laurence Fishburne and Johnny Depp. The set should include the original media logos at the beginning of each film. I would want to see nightmare 4 in 4k I mean come on it's got Tuesday Knight lying on the beach. They just released Krampus on 4K without releasing the Blu-ray so if that rumor that leaked a couple of months ago was true I'd be okay with that too. I would prefer a box set release than individually with new scans and on their own discs that said I'd be okay with that too. I've been trying to get in touch with Scream Factory and they stopped responding. I have these all digitally but I've been watching them on HBO Max thinking that if Warner Brothers sees that they're still interested in them they will do the right thing and give it to Scream Factory. I am honestly surprised that Scream Factory released Friday the 13th first I would have thought it would have been cheaper for them to release A Nightmare on Elm Street before Friday the 13th When they release the set indoor individual releases... They should set their website up like Live Nation has their website. In other words when you go to order at don't have a waiting room page so to speak and then you just order when it's your turn that way their website won't crash.
Not sure if this has been said but, start a petition. Who knows, maybe they'll listen. I believe this boxset is coming, but who knows how long it will take.
I've only been collecting for a couple years but, Freddy has always and will always be #1 to me even when I was little. It's sad the the best collection we have of noes is from 1999
@Planet CHH Wow, amazing and passionate video, couldn't have put it any better myself. Is there any further updates on an Elm Street box set? It's gotta be Scream Factory - nobody else could handle it.
Yes we need more proper Freddy media in our lives 🤟🤟👍P.S. This set should include Never sleep again The full documentary as well as Scream Queen with Mark P. And you can't forget the entire series of Freddy's Nightmares TV series 🤟🖤🖤🤟
great video…. I’d just be patient within the next 10yrs i can bank Screamfactory will release a massive Nightmare & Texas Chainsaw box set (it’s just a given) Scream Factory got the distribution rights to Nightbreed & Nothing But Trouble so they can get almost anything… As far as your box set they should add the complete digital collection of Innovation Comics Nightmare on Elm Street books (really awesome comic books that flew under the radar due to being Mature books) also A complete real Nightmare on Elm street 4 soundtrack with everything (remastered CD) and a remastered of the Freddy’s Dead original motion picture soundtrack
Great video AND plea to Warner Bros. I made my own wishlist for the set and may update it. One feature I put for Dream Warriors was the option to watch it as it was on the MEDIA Home Entertainment VHS which had the instrumental version of “Quiet Cool” and the option to watch it with “Into The Fire” version. From Freddy’s Revenge to Freddy’s Dead there wasn’t any commentary tracks. Going back to alternate audio options I would include the Christopher Young theme as it was in the MEDIA Home Entertainment VHS and the “Did You Ever See A Dream” version for the End Credits. As for the bonus disc(s) I would like to see a blu-ray version of the Labyrinth. I’d even like to see a tribute to Wes Craven mini doc. Maybe even a combined mini doc to any cast and crew members who have past away. With The Dream Child I’d even have that one as two discs with the R-rated on its own disc and the Uncensored on its own disc with the same or different extras on each disc.
I would pay an ungodly amount of money for a good Nightmare on Elm Street box set. I would get the double deluxe charge me a fortune version. WHY IS THIS NOT HAPPENING??? These are literally my favorite movies of all time and I can't get a good version anywhere
Christian......I want dokken and Billy idol on the box art posing with Freddy. And since George and the boys snorted coke from England's claws during the dream warriors video, I want that depiction on the box art also. That's my 2 lincolns my man
I hope they do a boxset of Nightmare on elm street franchise with new commentaries behind the scenes cause the only one that have commentaries are part 1 and part 7
I wonder if they are waiting for the 40th anniversary of NOES? They did the same for the F13 box set. Either that or Warner Bros. will slowly release them on their "archive" bluray series. Personally I'd like a little extra something something on Freddy vs. Jason and the remake. Doesn't have to be a ton, a little extra feature or two.
Watching now Was just going to say add the scream queen on noes 2 Love how dedicated u are to this I’m a huge Freddy fan too And I collect movies I haven’t started posting my collection yet It’s all in storage But this is awesome Enjoying the content Really want Freddy back :( Bro for real…just finished this video They ain’t just movies to us Facts!!!!! They really did help me when I was a kid And when I was battling depression and anxiety in my 20s All I had was horror movies to keep me company in my room And collecting movies Freddy’s always been my fav And we all deserve a proper release
I honestly think if this were to happen, as much as I hate to say it knowing you love part 2, I don’t think it would get a 4k scan. I think they’d do 1,3 and New Nightmare with 4k scans. But hopefully I’m wrong if it ever comes to fruition!!
An idea I had was for the cases to alternate between red and green so that when you look at them in the box they have that striped look of the sweater. Also, I wonder if they could do a full Blu-Ray 3D for Freddy's Dead. I saw it in theaters and they used the red/blue glasses (which I still have) unlike say F13 part 3 which used the black/grey polarized glasses. I have a 3d tv and the image darkens and blurs so you can watch it with the glasses and it looks great. I wonder if its possible to do that with just the last reel of the film as opposed to mastering the whole film in 3D for the Blu-Ray? I'm not tech-savvy, so what do I know? lol Great video and great channel!
I shared it out on Twitter man. What worries me is could this also be something where the estate of Wes Craven is part of the hold up too? They are in charge of the series and people with interest in making the movies have to go through them. So could they also be the ones to give the go ahead to do the boxed set along with Scream Factory and Warner Bros?
Let’s get the trailers again and for part 3 the Dokken video with a new interview. Maybe a Wes Craven 30 minute retrospective with interviews from all Wes movies and dedicate the set to Wes. Thanks
We need the music video for running from this nightmare and the remaster version of dream warriors and are you ready for Freddy music videos . We need filming locations and mtv tv stuff from back in the day the Freddy hotline commercial hell even Freddy’s nightmares. A new doc talking about how Freddy ruled the world and was very where.
You looked like a coach at halftime ripping into his team with that whiteboard and headset on! Lmao! I definitely agree that they gotta make this happen. It'd be stupid to leave money on the table like that. Maybe WB is asking for too big of a piece of the pie though. You see how much they charge for their new releases these days. Another thing, maybe they're just waiting for an anniversary. These companies love their anniversaries. Didn't the Friday set come out for the 40th anniversary of the original? I hope that's not the case because that means another 2 years or so.
If you’re a patron to the channel I just posted the completely unedited DERON MILLER PART 2 interview showing off his amazing Halloween soundtrack collection plus MUCH more
I’m really praying they do this. I also hope they can find any cut footage for the sequels and put in the cut footage from 1 like all the extra blood splatter.
One thing I want them to keep are the couple episodes of Freddie’s Nightmares and I’d also like them to add in No More Mr. Nice Guy. I had that on VHS and yeah it’s super cheesy of course but it’s so cool they used an episode to show the trial and one of the cops that lead the mob.
Scream factory is honestly our best chance to get these. I mean they knocked the Halloween box set out the park. And I heard they are they doing Halloween 6 and the rest soon. If they get the green light to do the nightmare on elm street 4k box set like they did Halloween, then were in for a treat
@Bluray Monster that collection is still amazing. Love the Nightmare Encyclopedia disc, and it’s the only way I know of to watch Freddy’s Dead in 3D
@Bluray Monster I guess. I never really look at region locks as a negative especially with DVDs basically every player I had after like 2004 was region free until I switched to Blu Ray
Well said its a crime not to have all nightmare on elm street on 4k.
In the UK, NOES 1 & 5 were theatrically released with slightly extra gore as we had pre-MPAA versions. NOES 1 had Tina's blood splash on the bed, and NOES 5 was what you guys in the US had as the unrated version on VHS/laserdisc. New Line recently said the raw footage of NOES 5's uncut deaths are now unusable/in bad shape, so here's a very important and crucial part for a new boxset. Do a scan of the British theatrical prints of 1 & 5 because you will finally have HD versions of those uncut deaths. Arrow Video did the same with Candyman. They found the British theatrical print which was a pre-MPAA version with the psychiatrist's uncut death, and did a scan. They let Scream Factory include their scan for the US release. It CAN happen, and I know there is a reportedly pristine UK print of NOES 1 be shown in some screenings here in the UK and it's been confirmed Tina's blood splash is in the film.
Making the ultimate Elm Street box set would be literally printing money.
I am so here for this version of Christian. Unfiltered. Digging this.
Yes Christian, love this, it’s been long enough, us Elm Street fans deserve a respectable, modern box set already.
Facts!!!
Christian I'm literally cheering watching the end of this video right now! I consider myself a Halloween guy, but Freddy has been with me since the beginning of my horror journey. We do need this! Thanks for this video and opening yourself up!👏👏
This absolutely needs to happen! I'm really surprised that WB doesn't like guaranteed money. Even Paramount who didn't give a crap about Friday the 13th have given us so many options for having better quality Blu Ray's.
I really love this video and I hope it reaches somebody at WB
Yeah but even Paramount does bare minimum, they’ve had the cut footage for numerous movies for over a decade now there’s no reason they haven’t been released Uncut
THANK YOU!!! This actually brought tears to my eye Christian. I can't express properly how great and NEEDED this post was/is.
Throw in a 2K scan of Freddys Nightmares and I’ll be FULLY satisfied
I'd pay more if they'd omit the remake.
You're my hero, Christian. Keep the passion alive.
I'm reluctant to purchase it because I know they're going to include that atrocity!
New Patricia Arquette and Don Dokken interviews for Dream Warriors
And I hope Scream Factory triple check their controll room of making the disc of A Nightmare on Elm St with no Missing scenes, no messing up on audio, and no F**K up problems with the set because this set need to be made perfect and all the films should not have messed up problems so yeah if Scream Factory does a nightmare on elm st box set please triple check the disc before processing to sell the box set we don't want to have the problem like we did with Friday The 13Th Box Set.
"Attention teachers and students. Will Scream Factory and the Warner Brothers report to the principle's office immediately!..."
Everybody needs to put pressure on these companies to get this made, this set could be the signature box set of all box sets
Well said, we need an upgrade. Thanks for posting this video.
I really hope when they decide to make a new remake that they get creative with the dream sequences. I wanna see Freddy with 6 arms, I wanna see Freddy on a floating island in space, I wanna see Freddy just floating in the air like a god like creature. I really just want creative minds behind it and shutting down bad ideas
Yes - for us, by us.
Love the passion you have for the nightmare on elm street.yes this need to happen. I had the same exact thought on the box art. These movies helped me thru tough times also. Great job Christian I'm behind you.
Wes Craven’s New Nightmare needs a 4K scan.
I'll probably buy it if they release it. Freddy is my favorite out of the slasher villians. Last week i watched freddy's revenge and watched the special features. They were like 5, 6 minutes i was like that's it! I was expecting more. I still need to buy the never sleep again documentary.
I wanna see that uncut version of dream child.
Give em hell Christian! Love the passion about something that means so much to you. Rare these days.
A set like the Friday the 13th set would be great. Then we need a set like that of the Halloweens all done in 4k
Love this video. New scans are so needed. Your list is great. I’ll add music vids for Dokken and Vinnie Vincent Invasion. I almost wish instead of a box set we would get editions like the Halloween movies got recently, I know all 4K is a dream
I hope New Nightmare gets a full blown 4K scan. It deserves it.
I didn't know there were any commentaries for NOES 2-6. I think it'd be cool to have a documentary about how popular Freddy was at his peak. They could even include his music album haha. It'd be cool to get a disc of Freddy's Nightmares too. That'd be a selling point.
And I totally get why you're passionate about this. I am too.
It's weird how these big budget dramas come out, sweep the critics off their feet, and are forgotten a few months later; whereas cheap, passionless, cash-grab exploitation horror movies get remembered for decades.
I just Tweeted your video to Warner Home Entertainment and Shout and Scream. I appreciate your passion.
Agreed. 100%. Your idea of a box set is fantastic, I hope they are listening!
Honestly, there needs to all be a 4k scan of all the movies on each disk. All need to include the uncut extended versions. The previous special features can be on its own 4k disk. At this point in the physical disk game, I won't settle with recycled 1080p footage, I want all new 4k scream factory or criterion quality remastered uncut editions. Price point does not matter.
madman with the dry erase board. lovely video, friend. keeping my fingers crossed.
For extra we need the series too.
Nightmare cafe and Freddy’s nightmare.
I always thought the scans for the blurays were a bit weird on the bluray/web releases. I think the dvd release is a bit brighter which I kinda prefer, its not bright where it hurts my eyes, but the bluray feels too dark in comparison and I am simply more used to the brighter dvd release.
Bonuses I think that should be added are the Fat Boys "Are You Ready for Freddy", Will Smith's "A Nightmare on My Street", and of course Dokken's "Dream Warriors" music videos. Other things like Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy Speaks, and Slash and Burn - The Freddy Krueger Story would be some good extras to add, because they seem lost to time. Maybe as a bonus audio feature would be the 1-900 Freddy call lines, that would be a unique feature. Lastly would maybe be the workprint for Elm Street 2010, as well as Freddy's Dead. I know a bumper/trailer collection is going to be searched for so I can assume they would be added regardless.
But while still on the topic of bluray sets, maybe now is the time to finally give Friday The 13th - The Series and Freddy's Nightmares the propery bluray treatment themselves. Those shows deserve it even if they don't feature too much Freddy. Either way I could see the pilot episode of Freddy's Nightmares to be added as a bonus on the Elm Street bluray.
You know it’s getting serious when Christian pulls out the Dry Erase Board!!!
Absolutley 100% love each and every one of your ideas Christian! This needs to happen
I wish we could get an official texas chainsaw massacre dvd collection set :(
Put the pressure on em hell yea we need a tru boxset
On point w all this CHH. 👏👏 Nice work man. 👊
A Nightmare On Elm Street fully uncut, my understanding A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 got uncut theatrical prints in Europe which would be better than the laserdisc! All deleted footage must be included! Freddy VS Jason has more cut footage on the workprint and it should be released! Freddy's Nightmares needs to be included!
YESSSSS I AM HERE FOR THIS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I understand and FEEL that passion and emotion, when it comes to Freddy, these films and needing a box set that they truly deserve!! If Michael and Jason are deserving, then Freddy most certainly should be!
Each individual case for the film should have reversible sleeves. One side the US poster artwork by Matthew Peak, and the other the UK poster artwork by Graham Humphreys. The Part 2 poster in the UK has become quite iconic due to the NES game taking it for its title screen (explaining why Freddy has the Freddy's Revenge hand, not the glove).
Must include Never Sleep Again, I Am Nancy, AND Scream, Queen.
well said, horror films mean so much to people and for 90 mins can take you away from any bad times that may be happening in your life at the time. There like therapy in a way.
This is your best video yet. Well done! Also, we need the Whodini music video on the Dream Child disc.
I'm in for it man Freddy got me into horror . I need this box set . Great video
I say give the people that bought the previous boxset a nice treat and make Freddy v Jason include a 4K with a new interview from the composer or an isolated score track.
Makes sure to include all the original audio and the previous features they released like the making of on laserdisc for parts 3&4.
Uncut 5: dream child like the return of them Texas chainsaw massacre with SD inserts if that’s the issue. I’d also like the theatrical cut be included on a separate disc if able.
Freddy’s dead used anaglyph 3D theatrically so it shouldn’t be difficult to at least include that version.
Love the passion man and I love this franchise. I remember begging my grandma to buy the DVD set. Sitting in my room at her house watching the movies and eating popcorn. The set we have is so disrespectful in so many ways. There's so many great horror box sets out there and for the life of me idk why noes doesn't have one. If not scream factory then somebody please release one. Maybe arrow they've done some great box sets.
If they released a 4K set of all the films and tv show with each having their uncut versions and the 3D version of Freddy’s dead ending would sell out at any number they made.
They would easily sell out faster than lord of the rings which is having a reissue already after an individual release less than a year apart
Im with you 100% my friend. Its been way too long
Good call brother. ALL facts, right here. ✅
I have been waiting for a true blu ray box set of this series for years.... Lets hope our day will come soon CHH!!
Freddy needs to be properly presented. We have Micheal, Jason and we're way long overdue for a decent Freddy box set.
Freddy vs. Jason needs a 4k scan also would love for them to include the workprint of the remake
I 100% agree! We need this nightmare box set!!!!!
1 thousand percent agree. Give us the damn Freddy Box set.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 absolutely love this, Christian! I couldn’t agree more.
Rewatching Nightmare on elm street as we speak. Just discovered that the original is actually an edited version. 13 seconds were cut to give the movie an R rating. About 6 seconds were restored for the vhs & laser disc and the uncut version was released theatrically in the UK. Most of this footage involves Tina's death. When she falls to the bed she lands and splashes blood everywhere. In the censored version we go from Tina falling to a jump cut of Rod getting splattered with blood. In the US only the cut version has been released since 2006.
Count me in on your crusade to get a definitive elm street collection.
Did you notice the audio sync is off in part one. Starts when Rod pulls Nancy into the bushes. It's a travesty
It should be 10 discs Christian! You don’t have any theatrical trailers for any of the movies and those were all kickass trailers!! I want EVERY extra from the old New Line box set brought over as well, even the Labrynth, or a new rendition of it. That would be fucking awesome!!! Great video man! I love your passion! Friday the 13th is my favorite horror franchise of all time, but I love me some Michael and Freddy too!!! It was always about the big 3 for me growing up! Those are the true horror icons.
Needs a 10th disc of all legacy extras and new ones as well!
Excellent..thanks for doing this
Take. My. Money. 💵
Well said, CHH. Well said.
I agree but you forgot that we also need some bonus discs like the F13 set and a perfect bound book to round it out!! 🤘🏼🧔🏻
Hell yea Christian! We absolutely need and want a freddy box set, but thank you for this video. It pumps me and makes me more proud to be a horror fan/collector!
Agreed on all points! Nightmare is my favorite horror franchise and it’s sad that the best version of the series we’ve seen is the original DVD boxed set. I would love to see Heather’s “I Am Nancy” doc included, as well as all of the bonus features previously released and some new surprises too. I’m totally with you on this, man! This needs to happen! Have a Happy Halloween!
Exactly, but please add a real 3D version of Freddy's Dead like they did with friday 3D.
I would like to see all new 4k scans of all the films, but I agree at least the first 3 and the rest 2k scans. Original color timing. I was fairly happy with the bonus features with the previous set. I would, if possible, throw in the Never Sleep Again disc along with the films.
What I would love to see SF do is not only use the original poster art, but where applicable use the alternative artwork for the reverse sides instead of new art. For example, Freddy's Revenge had the couple on the front but when released to video it had Freddy with flames. Or Pt 5 had 2 different versions - one with a baby and one with a carriage inside the crystal ball.
I hope we get playing with power Freddy and tv Freddy on the box set.
Bravo Christian!! 👏👏Love the passion you have for this topic!
I would love to see them do a box set similarly to the VHS set where on the spine you get an entire pic of Freddy. That would be so cool to bring that back.
I would also add more documentaries. NOES has one of the best franchise docs out there. Add more Freddy bits, like his tv show, music videos and all that is Freddy. I would snatch this set up in a hurry.
I appreciate your passion for the freddy films . Ive been frustrated that the proper box set of nightmare on elm st hasn't been created and given the love it deserves. Let's make this happen
Christian here are some things they need to include in the box set you forgot to mention:
First give us the original 80's/90's New Line logos at the start of each film and not those shitty modern ones on the current blu rays.
Nightmare 1 needs to include all of the deleted scenes and alternate endings from the previous laserdisc. They also need to find the full uncut version of Tina's death and put it back in, also there is workprint footage on youtube that should be included as a bonus feature as well.
There should be new interviews with Amanda Wyss and the guy who played Rod.
For part 2 some new interviews with Clu Gulager(if he's still alive and well enough to do it) and Kim Myers. A Jack Sholder interview would be nice as well. Maybe dig up some deleted scenes if there's any in existence. A Christopher Young interview would be cool.
For part 3 some new interviews with Craig Wasson and some of the Dream Warriors. Maybe include all the special effects outtakes and BTS that circulates on youtube. How about a new interview with Dokken?
For part 4 some interviews with Joey and Kincaid and what the actors felt about part 4 overall. A new interview with Renny Harlin. Screaming Mad George interview would be nice as well talking about the cockroach scene and how it was done. Maybe dig up some deleted scenes if possible. Maybe interviews with the nerdy black girl and the weightlifting chick.
Part 5 should include both versions of the film just like Jason/hell did and give them both 2K scans at least. I'd like to see an interview with the guy who played Dan and have him talk about both films. Also, some interviews with Alice's friend (the pool diver), the comic book guy, and the actor who played Jacob. An interview with Stephen Hopkins as well.
Part 6 needs to have the complete uncut theatrical version (the home video releases are all shortened), Interviews with Liza Zane, the karate chick, the guy who played John Doe, and maybe an interview with Iggy Pop talking about his contribution to the soundtrack and how it came to be. New Interview with Rachael Talalay.
Part 7 should have new interviews with the nanny, Heather's dead husband, and the doctor. Maybe a special tribute to John Saxon. Also include the vintage soundtrack promo that was on the vhs as an easter egg.
F v J I would at least do a 2K scan but if not recycle the old disc with the better DTSHD audio this time around.
The remake..... eh, whatever.
Every composer from each movie (if possible) should do new interviews for the films they composed, and every disc should include all trailers/tv spots/radio spots/ and vhs promo spots. Every F/X person who worked on the films should do new interviews if it's possible.
Nightmare 5 should have the vhs cover as reversible art. Same with New Nightmare and Freddy's Revenge.
And lastly, there should be a bonus disc that has all the special features that were included in the 1999 box set and the blu ray set. Also, I would include some vhs box set promos as easter eggs and maybe the Freddy hotline promos as well. Some old cable promos would be cool as well since they did the same thing with the Friday the 13th box set.
This is my favorite movie franchise ever. Me and my brother grew up on all of them. These movies mean so much to me and a lot of people. It blows my mind we haven’t got anything yet lol. I would love to hear your thought on the German box set release, I’m jealous of it
I'd want to see all 4K scans, new commentaries for every film with those involved and superfans (ex. like F13 did with Adam Green) and the big big sell - FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES, the series! I know it's gonna be low quality but we want that so bad! I'd pay a high premium for it too (they could even sell that in a separate set if need be).
It's really strange how these things get handled sometimes, they could make so much money on this. I envision a master premium box $200 or so, and an optional 'normie' box of $100 or so and then they can repackage the bare bones for either a budget box or singles even. Most die hards would buy them all anyway. So much money they're missing out on. And then the marketing push with merch could go nuts with tie-in's.
This box set done well is guaranteed profit.
PREACH CHRISTIAN PREACH!! I Agree With Everything You’re Saying Brotha!!! I Desperately Want This Boxset!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I would love to see them interview Patricia Arquette.
Enough said, Freddy deserves an extensive box set. The NOES franchise has been done dirty for the past decade.
They also need to get out of the way and finally release the Freddy's Nightmares tv series on disk. It's a guaranteed sell, people want it, people will buy it. I already have the TV series on disk, but was from a bootlegged source. It's time for them to finally just get over themselves and release the damn tv show, there's so many crap tv series on disk.
You go right ahead and get emotional Christian... Nightmare on Elm Street was the first movie I remember seeing when it first came out on VHS, I was four years old give or take and I couldn't walk yet... more on that in a minute. Anyway, I can remember watching it sitting on my mother's lap. I don't know why they let me watch it probably because I was so young they didn't think I would pay attention to it or remember it. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and needless to say I didn't have a whole lot of friends growing up so Freddy was my friend so to speak. Back in those days we rented a VCR every weekend and every weekend I got to pick a movie to rent with it and it was always Freddy. Normal kids watch cartoons on Saturday mornings I watch The Nightmare on Elm Street.
I agree with most of the stuff that you wrote down however I would drop the remake because let's face it nobody asked for that. If they throw in Freddy versus Jason I would like the disc to be a Shout Factory disc... special features I think it would be cool if they could include interviews with Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastman, Patricia Arquette and if they can do it Laurence Fishburne and Johnny Depp. The set should include the original media logos at the beginning of each film. I would want to see nightmare 4 in 4k I mean come on it's got Tuesday Knight lying on the beach. They just released Krampus on 4K without releasing the Blu-ray so if that rumor that leaked a couple of months ago was true I'd be okay with that too. I would prefer a box set release than individually with new scans and on their own discs that said I'd be okay with that too. I've been trying to get in touch with Scream Factory and they stopped responding. I have these all digitally but I've been watching them on HBO Max thinking that if Warner Brothers sees that they're still interested in them they will do the right thing and give it to Scream Factory. I am honestly surprised that Scream Factory released Friday the 13th first I would have thought it would have been cheaper for them to release A Nightmare on Elm Street before Friday the 13th
When they release the set indoor individual releases... They should set their website up like Live Nation has their website. In other words when you go to order at don't have a waiting room page so to speak and then you just order when it's your turn that way their website won't crash.
Not sure if this has been said but, start a petition. Who knows, maybe they'll listen. I believe this boxset is coming, but who knows how long it will take.
Box set needs a book as well 👍
Amen brother 🙏
I've only been collecting for a couple years but, Freddy has always and will always be #1 to me even when I was little. It's sad the the best collection we have of noes is from 1999
Totally agree with ya Christian , always seems NOES is always last .
@Planet CHH Wow, amazing and passionate video, couldn't have put it any better myself. Is there any further updates on an Elm Street box set? It's gotta be Scream Factory - nobody else could handle it.
Only time can tell…
@@j.c.m.s 😫 it's been too long as it is
Yes we need more proper Freddy media in our lives 🤟🤟👍P.S. This set should include Never sleep again The full documentary as well as Scream Queen with Mark P. And you can't forget the entire series of Freddy's Nightmares TV series 🤟🖤🖤🤟
great video…. I’d just be patient within the next 10yrs i can bank Screamfactory will release a massive Nightmare & Texas Chainsaw box set (it’s just a given) Scream Factory got the distribution rights to Nightbreed & Nothing But Trouble so they can get almost anything… As far as your box set they should add the complete digital collection of Innovation Comics Nightmare on Elm Street books (really awesome comic books that flew under the radar due to being Mature books) also A complete real Nightmare on Elm street 4 soundtrack with everything (remastered CD) and a remastered of the Freddy’s Dead original motion picture soundtrack
We need this ASAP put some respect on Freddy’s name WB c’mon
Great video AND plea to Warner Bros. I made my own wishlist for the set and may update it. One feature I put for Dream Warriors was the option to watch it as it was on the MEDIA Home Entertainment VHS which had the instrumental version of “Quiet Cool” and the option to watch it with “Into The Fire” version. From Freddy’s Revenge to Freddy’s Dead there wasn’t any commentary tracks. Going back to alternate audio options I would include the Christopher Young theme as it was in the MEDIA Home Entertainment VHS and the “Did You Ever See A Dream” version for the End Credits. As for the bonus disc(s) I would like to see a blu-ray version of the Labyrinth. I’d even like to see a tribute to Wes Craven mini doc. Maybe even a combined mini doc to any cast and crew members who have past away. With The Dream Child I’d even have that one as two discs with the R-rated on its own disc and the Uncensored on its own disc with the same or different extras on each disc.
I would pay an ungodly amount of money for a good Nightmare on Elm Street box set. I would get the double deluxe charge me a fortune version. WHY IS THIS NOT HAPPENING??? These are literally my favorite movies of all time and I can't get a good version anywhere
Christian......I want dokken and Billy idol on the box art posing with Freddy. And since George and the boys snorted coke from England's claws during the dream warriors video, I want that depiction on the box art also. That's my 2 lincolns my man
I hope they do a boxset of Nightmare on elm street franchise with new commentaries behind the scenes cause the only one that have commentaries are part 1 and part 7
I wonder if they are waiting for the 40th anniversary of NOES? They did the same for the F13 box set. Either that or Warner Bros. will slowly release them on their "archive" bluray series. Personally I'd like a little extra something something on Freddy vs. Jason and the remake. Doesn't have to be a ton, a little extra feature or two.
Watching now
Was just going to say add the scream queen on noes 2
Love how dedicated u are to this
I’m a huge Freddy fan too
And I collect movies
I haven’t started posting my collection yet
It’s all in storage
But this is awesome
Enjoying the content
Really want Freddy back :(
Bro for real…just finished this video
They ain’t just movies to us
Facts!!!!!
They really did help me when I was a kid
And when I was battling depression and anxiety in my 20s
All I had was horror movies to keep me company in my room
And collecting movies
Freddy’s always been my fav
And we all deserve a proper release
I honestly think if this were to happen, as much as I hate to say it knowing you love part 2, I don’t think it would get a 4k scan. I think they’d do 1,3 and New Nightmare with 4k scans. But hopefully I’m wrong if it ever comes to fruition!!
An idea I had was for the cases to alternate between red and green so that when you look at them in the box they have that striped look of the sweater. Also, I wonder if they could do a full Blu-Ray 3D for Freddy's Dead. I saw it in theaters and they used the red/blue glasses (which I still have) unlike say F13 part 3 which used the black/grey polarized glasses. I have a 3d tv and the image darkens and blurs so you can watch it with the glasses and it looks great. I wonder if its possible to do that with just the last reel of the film as opposed to mastering the whole film in 3D for the Blu-Ray? I'm not tech-savvy, so what do I know? lol Great video and great channel!
Could we somehow also throw Freddy's nightmares in there to make it the ultimate complete box set
I shared it out on Twitter man. What worries me is could this also be something where the estate of Wes Craven is part of the hold up too? They are in charge of the series and people with interest in making the movies have to go through them. So could they also be the ones to give the go ahead to do the boxed set along with Scream Factory and Warner Bros?
Let’s get the trailers again and for part 3 the Dokken video with a new interview. Maybe a Wes Craven 30 minute retrospective with interviews from all Wes movies and dedicate the set to Wes. Thanks
We need the music video for running from this nightmare and the remaster version of dream warriors and are you ready for Freddy music videos . We need filming locations and mtv tv stuff from back in the day the Freddy hotline commercial hell even Freddy’s nightmares. A new doc talking about how Freddy ruled the world and was very where.
Add the original music videos too!!! Dokken, Vinnie Vincent Invasion etc.
You looked like a coach at halftime ripping into his team with that whiteboard and headset on! Lmao! I definitely agree that they gotta make this happen. It'd be stupid to leave money on the table like that. Maybe WB is asking for too big of a piece of the pie though. You see how much they charge for their new releases these days. Another thing, maybe they're just waiting for an anniversary. These companies love their anniversaries. Didn't the Friday set come out for the 40th anniversary of the original? I hope that's not the case because that means another 2 years or so.
There needs to be a Dokken interview on ANOES 3.
