Story Synopsis:
Wes Craven’s New Nightmare is a terrifically twisted story that reunites three original Nightmare cast members as they discover that the “reel” Freddy has invaded the “real” world and is out for revenge! Sweet Dreams! Each of the discs in the A Nightmare On Elm Street Collection offers cast and crew biographies and Jump To A Nightmare buttons. The first and last movies (A Nightmare On Elm Street and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare) in the set also offer audio commentary by Mr. Craven himself. Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare adds a Jump To The 3-D Sequence button (glasses included in the box). See Special Features for the extras included on the separate disc in this eight-disc box set and consult the DVD-ROM Review for specifics on those features.
