A Nightmare On Elm Street Celebrates 40th Anniversary With Limited-Edition 4K Blu-Ray

As a gamer with a soft spot for all things horror, I can barely contain my excitement for the 40th anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street! The limited edition steelbook release is like a dream come true – or should I say, a nightmare made real? With Freddy Krueger’s burnt pizza face staring back at me from that gorgeous steelbook cover, it’s hard not to feel a chill down my spine.


To mark its 40th anniversary, A Nightmare on Elm Street is returning to reality in stunning 4K quality through a brand-new Blu-ray release. Directed by Wes Craven, this horror classic will be available as a limited edition with an eye-catching steelbook case. Preorders are currently being taken at Amazon for $36.49 before its October 1 launch. The 4K steelbook version is just a few dollars more than the regular version, and both include a digital copy of the movie. If you can’t wait for the 4K release, consider grabbing the seven-film Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray box set for only $30 to catch up on the rest of the franchise.

Currently, the 4K steelbook edition of A Nightmare on Elm Street is Amazon’s top-selling horror movie. If you’re keen on getting it, we suggest placing your order promptly. Steelbook editions of popular 4K releases tend to sell out quickly, often well before launch, as was the case with this one.

A Nightmare On Elm Street Celebrates 40th Anniversary With Limited-Edition 4K Blu-Ray

A timeless masterpiece hailing from the horror-slasher genre, “A Nightmare on Elm Street” first unveiled Freddy Krueger to audiences worldwide – a slain killer whose visage resembled seared pizza. Equipped with his signature weapon, the intriguing aspect of this character is that Krueger had been deceased for years when the story began, as the notorious Springwood Slasher was torched alive by townsfolk who took the law into their own hands. After striking a pact with malevolent spirits, Krueger would return to Springwood to commence a fresh wave of terror. His victims were primarily the children of those who had murdered him, and he’d track them down in their dreams, systematically eliminating them one-by-one, all while inspiring an eerily catchy lullaby along the way.

In this edition, the steelbook cover showcases fresh artwork on the outside and a snapshot from the movie inside. It’s packed with plenty of excellent bonus content too – expect alternate scenes, insights into the making of this budget-friendly horror, commentary sessions, and various documentaries. Additionally, you’ll find a digital streaming code included, perfect for when you don’t have the disc handy.

Of particular interest is the inclusion of Never Sleep Again, a top-notch 2010 documentary that provides an extensive exploration of the production process behind the famous horror franchise. If you’re a devoted fan (Fredhead), this is a must-watch for you. Given that the Blu-ray version of the documentary can be quite costly these days, it’s wonderful to find it among the extra features for the 40th Anniversary edition.
