A Nightmare on Elm Street is marking its 40th anniversary with an exciting new 4K Blu-ray release. This beloved horror classic, directed by Wes Craven, will be available in a limited-edition steelbook case, which features stunning artwork. Preorders are currently open for $36.49 ahead of its highly anticipated release on October 1. The 4K steelbook edition is only slightly more expensive than the standard version, and both options include a digital copy of the film. For those eager to revisit the franchise in the meantime, a comprehensive seven-film Blu-ray box set is available for just $30.
The 4K steelbook edition of A Nightmare on Elm Street is already the top-selling horror movie on popular online marketplaces. Early orders are recommended, as steelbook releases often sell out quickly, particularly when they are as popular as this one.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 40th Anniversary Limited Edition
A Nightmare on Elm Street revolutionized the horror-slasher genre by introducing audiences to Freddy Krueger, a terrifying figure with a burned visage. Krueger, a vengeful spirit who had been wronged by a town mob, returns to haunt the dreams of the children of those who took his life, resulting in a series of chilling murders and the creation of a sinister lullaby.
This limited-edition steelbook features vibrant new artwork on the cover and a memorable screenshot from the film within. Additionally, the release includes a wealth of bonus content, such as alternate takes, insightful filmmaking secrets, commentary tracks, and several featurettes. Also included is a digital streaming code for convenient viewing.
Notably, the release presents the acclaimed 2010 documentary, Never Sleep Again, which dives deep into the making of the iconic series. For true fans, this documentary is an essential addition, especially since standalone Blu-ray editions can often be costly.
