As a gamer who’s been around since the golden age of gaming (and by that I mean the early 80s), the news about the 4K remaster of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is like finding an original NES cartridge in pristine condition! The thought of Freddy Krueger’s chilling laugh and razor-sharp claws leaping out at me from a crisp, high-definition screen is simply exhilarating.
The timeless horror masterpiece by Wes Craven, “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” is set to receive the 4K upgrade. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment revealed this exciting news on Thursday, stating that they would honor the 40th anniversary of the original “Elm Street” movie with a fresh remaster and home release. For the first time ever, Freddy Krueger’s initial appearance will be presented in High Dynamic Range. This classic will be accessible for digital download as well as a physical 4K disc.
On October 1st, you’ll be able to purchase digitally the enhanced 4K version of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” through various Video On Demand (VOD) providers. Two weeks after that, the physical 4K Blu-ray will hit the shelves, available in both standard packaging and a limited edition steelbook.
In this new 4K edition, you’ll get not only the original theater release but also an uncensored version of “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. This extra version is labeled as unrated and features some extra scenes without rating.
For the special features, this anniversary edition of “Nightmare on Elm Street” offers quite a few extras in both digital and physical versions. However, it’s important to note that none of these features are new; they were all included in earlier releases of the film. Here’s a comprehensive rundown of the existing special features you can find in the 4K edition!

Wes Craven’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” which debuted in 1984, turned out to be a massive hit, grossing over $57 million at the box office while only costing a million dollars to produce. Moreover, it gave birth to one of the most extensive slasher series ever made. The Elm Street franchise has seen nine movies since its inception in 1984, with the latest being a reboot of the original released in 2010. Among these films is the highly popular crossover movie “Freddy vs. Jason,” which was released in 2003.
Following the initial release and establishment of the series, Craven revisited Elm Street after about a decade with “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare,” a unique interpretation of his iconic slasher. This innovative take portrayed Freddy as a character from the movies who intruded into the dreams of people in the actual world.
