It's not even worth a watch.

I am so glad I imported the Mexican version for under $25.

Who knows if this is accurate, but someone posted this info on blu-ray.com:

"It will be a 2 week online Best Buy exclusive and then will be apart of the Upgrade/Save promo starting October 14th according to some people. aka in stores later this month."

There's a BB employee who has posted that their inventory shows 0 in transit. So unless that changes soon, the above might be accurate, although that's the first time I've heard of a BB exclusive debuting online first.

Hmm....during the next U&S? I'd be interested in picking up then, as long as the pricepoint stays at $44.99 and under.

Some blu-ray.com people are posting that their local stores are finally showing these as on order/in transit. Maybe they will show up before Tuesday.

Same here. I was going to tell my wife to show up this morning, forgot to and then I saw nothing at the store. I'm guessing we're all out of luck today.

Got it. There was an empty space on the shelf for it, and it took 4 people 10 mins to find it in a box. Here are some quick pics:

And exactly like the Mexican set, except the writing on the package is in Spanish. Warner is too cheap to re-do Blu-ray sets for different territories.

Except it doesn't have that horrible "18" stop sign looking symbol or whatever that UK uses to show ratings.

Stores in Cincinnati now have it availble according to BestBuy.com. Im going to wait on some reviews but more than likely since Ive got the DVD set going to hold off until the price drops.

Wondering, for those lucky to get it, is it better than the DVD box sets that have came out? I mean, in respect to the special features.

Heres a review of disc 5 from the UK set. Same features:

Disc Five

Fear Himself: The Life and Crimes of Freddy Krueger (SD, 30 min) — A new and terrific retrospect that examines and even analyses the franchise, the Freddy Krueger character and his popularity. The various interviews with cast, crew and film experts are very recent discussions on the story's origins, Wes Craven as a horror filmmaker, Robert Englund's signature performance and the phenomenon which led to seven sequels. It all ends with a few praises on 'New Nightmare' and Freddy as an ironically celebrated pop-icon. This is definitely worth a watch for even the mildest of fans.

Freddy's Nightmares (SD, 94 min) — Two episodes from the 44-episode television series are included here and each is 47 minutes long: "It's a Miserable Life" featuring future film director John Cameron Mitchell and "Killer Instinct" starring Lori Petty and directed by Mick Garris. The late-80s TV spinoff is far from memorable but nice to have as a collector's item. However, it's a shame they didn't include the pilot episode directed by Tobe Hooper.

Welcome to Prime Time (SD, 50 min) — Thirteen separate brief interviews with director Wes Craven and others, which can be watched sequentially. They are essentially deleted scenes from the other docs and worth watching as they feature several interesting anecdotes related to the history of the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' franchise. It ends with one last surviving alternate ending to the first movie.

Conclusions (SD, 18 min) — A series of 10 short interviews with University of Virginia professor, Mark Edmundson, author of Nightmare on Main Street, horror fiction writer Clive Barker, filmmaker Sean S. Cunningham, and actor Robert Englund. In each piece, participants offer an intriguing opinion and analysis of the 'Elm Street' series, the overall symbolism of the Freddy Krueger character and the cultural significance of the horror genre in general. It's all good stuff.

So according to this ginormous picture posted on blu-ray.com forum, this will be a Best Buy exclusive until January 5th, 2013.

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

So it seems like Fear Himself: The Life and Crimes of Freddy Krueger is new. Is there anything on the DVD box sets that this blu-ray does not have? And sadly, I don't see any store carrying it around me and I live in a pretty big city. Strange...
