Amazon has made the limited edition A Nightmare on Elm Street 4K steelbook collection available for preorder once more, offering the full seven-film set at its original manufacturer's suggested retail price of $159.99. This restock comes as a relief to fans who have seen the collection reselling for significantly higher prices on platforms like eBay.
The collection features seven individual steelbooks, each with unique artwork derived from the original theatrical posters, presented with a unified black background design. The steelbooks are housed within a slipcase adorned with Freddy Krueger's signature red and black stripes. The included films are A Nightmare on Elm Street, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, and Wes Craven's New Nightmare.
This reissue appears largely identical to the initial release, though it notably omits the original Certificate of Authenticity and 3D glasses. The set is currently available for preorder, with shipments expected to begin on September 15. Customers can take advantage of Amazon's Preorder Price Guarantee, which ensures they will pay the lowest price offered between the time of purchase and the release date.
This collection represents the first time that films in the franchise beyond the original installment were released in 4K UHD. Consumers will require a compatible 4K setup to view the discs. The release is also significant as many of these films are not widely available on streaming services.
In related franchise news, Paramount is reportedly developing a new reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, having secured the film rights from Wes Craven's estate. This will mark the return of Freddy Krueger to the big screen for the first time in 16 years, following the 2010 remake.
