I glanced at the back. Nightmare 1 was 7.1, the rest were 5.1. All movies had special features. I'm not sure but wondering if they are broken down features from the old encyclopedia disc.

All of the special features on the sequel discs and the fifth disc (with the exception of the Fear Himself feature and Freddy's Nightmare episodes) come from the encyclopedia disc.
DVDCompare has a listing of the Holland version of the boxset, which should be the same contents as the US release.

I wouldn't mind grabbing this but I think I'm more at the $30 price point than $45 for it.

Didn't the original film have audio sync issues?

It does not. There's a similar-named documentary on the first disc, but it is not the same in any goddamn aspect as the awesome, four-hour documentary.

This is available at my closest store, but I really don't feel like driving all the way up there at the moment. Hopefully it is available for shipping soon.

So does it have the same special features as past box sets? Or are both sets different?

Re: A Nightmare on Elm Street Collection > 10/2/12

Isn't it sad how the DVD set was kind of a big deal when it came out, yet this Blu-ray set just kind of spewed onto the radar last minute with zero promotion and some stores haven't even stocked?

Hell, I pre-ordered my DVD set months before it was released.

That dvd set was one of the first boxsets I purchased back in the day. I even got it signed by Robert Englund at a convention about 5-6 years ago.

If the UK set is a slim case 5-disc set with slipcover, than yes.
I don't know the specs of the DVD box set, but this blu-ray set has a hellava lot of special features so I am assuming most if not all was ported over. And perhaps the fifth disc is the new stuff? I never had the DVD set and only 2/3 on blu so I am quite pleased by this set.

Of course, the one near me now has it in stock. But still worth the trip for this and the very last copy of 12 Monkeys in the $7.99 bin that the guy happened to find in two minutes. Case torn to shreds but I put it in my German SteelBook, so it's all good as they say.

Disc 1 and 2 are the same as the previously released individual discs. Discs 1,2,3,4 are the same as the UK set, down to the dubs and subs.
scroll down to see all the extras included
