Holy shit? I hope these get the same treatment that the first film did on Blu-Ray.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

holy shit!!!! now we're getting somewhere...bring on the rest! (4 + 5 double feature / FREDDY'S DEAD + NEW NIGHTMARE double feature)

i'm hoping it's a race to see which of the big 3 franchises will all be on blu-ray first

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Yeah, hopefully 4/5 & 6/7 double features follow suit.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Here's hoping for a box set of all of the damn movies.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Hmm, don't know about it being a double feature. Hopefully it will be a good quality disc. The only essential ones for me are 1, 3 & 7.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

For reals?

:up:

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

2 is very underrated and the unintentional "repressed homosexuality" subtext to the movie actually makes it an interesting rewatch.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

If I recall correctly from Never Sleep Again, the director claimed to be unaware of the homoerotic tone, but the scriptwriter and certainly the gay lead actor were. I think it's an incoherent mess of a film, but I'd probably bite for $9.99 just to get III. I assume this is a BD-50? Perhaps the films will receive separate discs, as with the Legend double features. Some extras would be nice - Dokken in HD, anyone? - but I'm not holding my breath.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

If we get anything other than HD trailers, I'd be amazed.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

For $15 I'd probably bite.

2 was horrific though.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

September is shaping up to be a very good month for horror fans:

Basket Case
Blood Trilogy
NOES II/III
They Live
Quatermass and the Pit
Dead of Night
House by the Cemetary

Plus Halloween II/III, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, Zombie and The Frighteners (UK) in October.

I still think they should have released a box set of all the Nightmare films when they released the first movie to tie in with the remake. I mean yes, it's good that they're starting to release the sequels on Blu-Ray, but I get the same feeling I do now with catalog TV on DVD: if it doesn't sell, we won't see the rest of them. I mean we've seen that with the Friday The 13th films, we could see it here, too.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Although in this case since the discs are double-features we'd only need two more releases to complete the series.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Paramount could double feature the F13s as well (along with Warner)

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

They could easily fit both films (183 minutes total) on one BD-50 with DTS HD-MA 5.1 AND all the respective bonus material for the two films from the Nightmare on Elm Street collection since all of that content is SD.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

I'll probably pick this up but I sorta wish it wasn't a double feature. Now Paramount needs to get off their asses and release the rest of the Friday The 13th series.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Paramount barely releases catalog - so continuing the F13 films is probably not going to happen anytime soon. Maybe they can license them to Lionsgate.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

:lol: Yup, that entire segment on Nightmare 2 was pretty hilarious.

I hope this encourages the release of New Nightmare eventually. Then will my brain explode.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Especially Mark Patton's revelation that his dance sequence is still in regular rotation on gay clubs' TV monitors.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

And the reason I still have it saved on my DVR. Good laughs there.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Sweet!

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Yeah it sucks. My two favorite sequels are The Final Chapter and Jason Lives, but I'd pick the entire series up if they'd release them.

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

I'll definitely pick this up regardless, but I really wish New Line wouldn't be treating the series as a "budget release" - I would really like some new features, even if its just audio commentaries and deleted scenes...

Re: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 + 3----9/27/2011
 

Yeah I agree. I think "Never Sleep Again" pretty much covered any type of featurettes or documentaries that could be made. Really just needs a commentary and deleted scenes!

NoirFan, do you mean UK They Live in September or is it coming to the US too?
