Ugh this looks like a release that would normally be dumped on FYE
Cover art bland AF and no 4K = pass

Seriously... Give us the theatrical artwork on a steelbook and I'd bite... even if it's not 4k.

Kleeberg · 07-02-2020, 04:36 PM

Isn't this the same artwork from the Nightmare on Elm Street collection?

Was just about to post the same thing. Preference would be theatrical poster and 4K, but I love this film so much I'd bite if it wasn't 4K.

We missed the anniversary year...but maybe, just maybe, there's still hope of a 4K release.

the only nice thing that can be said about it is the price tag otherwise what crap release

rickah88 · 07-02-2020, 04:43 PM

I searched “Elm Street” and the FYE thread was the only one that popped up.
Will definitely be getting this.

Why does it feel that for every good-looking Steelbook, there's about fifty-billion fugly ones?

severe conservative · 07-02-2020, 04:50 PM

Definitely sticking with my 2015 Best Buy Nightmare steel. I never understood using a white backdrop for Nightmare video releases. It just doesnt match with Nightmare moves. Never has. Didnt they only just start doing that with the Blu ray set? This steelbook concept would actually look nice if it went with more of a reddish pinkish backdrop, or the same color scheme as the inside artwork. I do like the inside artwork

BizCat · 07-02-2020, 04:52 PM

Sweet.

mogwai_macabre · 07-02-2020, 05:39 PM

I don't hate it, but I don't love it. This could be pulled off well if they add some debossing to the scratch marks kinda like how A Quiet Place did.

Ugly cover art, ugly font, and the image of Freddy Krueger on the inside appears to be from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987).

A lazy and ugly release. It's like these studios aren't even trying.

kinkyqueen · 07-02-2020, 05:56 PM

Hard pass. Release the sequels with the original poster art please

BluProofie · 07-02-2020, 06:04 PM

New Steelbook

But still no 4K

How come WB?

Because some people are going to buy this one and then the 4K steelbook whenever they release that.

And that steelbook still won't have the art everybody wants.

You don't give the people what they want because then they won't "want" anymore.

Warner Brothers wants to keep releasing their titles repeatedly until the end of time.

Do people really not understand that?

Or is it just because people want to piss and moan every time? lol.

hoejunter · 07-02-2020, 06:49 PM

This is awful.

garyd97 · 07-02-2020, 06:50 PM

Ugly art. They should have went with the poster art. I will have to pass on this one.
