5.0 out of 5 stars Put yourself on ELM STREET!, June 20, 2000

There is no words for this CD of grotesque, macabre, and sinister rememberances of Elm Street. I have searched and searched for quality Nightmare on Elm Street music and my search has come to an end with this great collection of "Freddys Favorites". This soundtrack is worth every penny and puts you inside the movies. The package should come with a sticker on top that says, "Welcome to Elm Street".

This review is from: Freddy's Favorites: Best Of A Nightmare On Elm Street (Audio CD)

I've always loved horror movies. I have also always had a fondness for the various great music that has always seemed to be a character in and of it's own in the really great horror movies. This Nightmare on ELm St. Collection brings together selections from the first 6 films in the series.
Each track brings to mind the various memorable scenes from the films.
I have recently begun collecting horror movie scores, especially the scores released by the varese sarabande label. This is a well put together collection & sounds fantastic. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but incomplete., August 8, 2008

This review is from: Freddy's Favorites: Best Of A Nightmare On Elm Street (Audio CD)

(Since they no longer have it to review, I'm reviewing the compilation disc for parts 1 & 2.)

There is something to be said about the score to NoES. I first saw the film when it came out, and I was only seven. I can't say I noticed much of the music back then. But now I've become a collector and comlpeteist. Which means I'm disappointed in this. Not completely. But there is enough left out to make me fret. Ok, ok, one second of difference, or exclusion and I'm bummed.

There are severeal key points in the film that aren't even in the film score you get when you buy the score in any form. There are even missing instrumentations.

Not to mention the disc is out of order. But most annoying of all is the gluing of music tracks together. "Rod Hanged/Night Stalking" are flip-flopped with one another. "School Horror/Stay Awake" don't flow in the movie as one, and I'm still not sure where "Stay Awake" takes place.

I hate to be one of the only '3's in this reviews but I'm really sad that yet another film score falls short of being perfect.

Oh, and the song at the end isn't included on disc. Me being me, I've since split both dual tracks into their singular selves and put them in order where they go. I'll listen to the soundtrack I "made" here, but I'll always remember the hours of deciphering, with my poor & distracted ears, the order in which the producers put this film score...and of course dream of how much that'll always be missing from mine & everyone else's copy of NoES. <<<'til someone makes a bootleg>>>
