Excerpt: A Nightmare on Elm Street is an American horror franchise that consists of nine slasher films, a television show, novels, and comic books. The franchise began with the film series created by Wes Craven. The franchise is based on the fictional character Freddy Krueger, introduced in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), who stalks and kills teenagers in their dreams. If Freddy kills the teenager in the dream world then they are ultimately killed in the real world. His motives were to seek revenge on their parents, who had burned him alive years before the events of the first Nightmare film. The original film was written and directed by Craven, who returned to co-script the second sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), and to write and direct New Nightmare (1994). The original film was released in 1984. A series of sequels produced by the independent film company New Line Cinema followed. New Line often attributes the growth of their company to the success of the Nightmare franchise. The film series as a whole has received mixed reviews by critics, but has been a financial success at the box office. When comparing the United States box office grosses of other American horror f...http://booksllc.net/?id=296558 ... Read more

Product Description
The Scream film series is a series of horror films directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson and Ehren Kruger. The main plot involves a psychopathic serial killer wearing a Halloween costume attempting to kill Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and various other characters involved in her life. Each film begins with the gory murder of a couple before showing the wherabouts of Sidney. It takes off from there leading to the revelation of the killer's identity and the final battle between Sidney and the killer. They revitalized the slasher film genre in the mid 1990s, in a similar way to Halloween (1978) in the 1970s, by using a standard concept with a tongue-in-cheek approach that successfully combined straightforward scares with dialogue that satirized slasher film conventions. The first film became a major commercial success upon its release, and was one of the highest grossing films of 1996. It was also highly acclaimed by many critics worldwide, who appreciated the film's tongue-in-cheek approach. It received an 83% rating at rottentomatoes.com. The combined average of the three films' ratings is a 'fresh' 67%. ... Read more

A Nightmare trilogy
I just ordered these books and must say if anyone is thinking about getting them...do so, not only will you get a good group of stories, but you cannot beat the price, three books in one ain't bad, I now have the whole series except for part 6 (which I will be ordering soon) if you're a fan of the films you should enjoy them in novel form as well.

There's a good reason...
The novelization of "Dream Warriors" is based off of the very first draft of the script. So, yeah. It's different. But you know, it's kind of cool to see what Wes et. al. originally had in mind. That shapeshifter fight between Freddy and Laredo would have been EPIC.

A trilogy of cuttingly good adaptations. *mild spoilers*
This book collects written adaptations of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE, and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS.

As the other review mentioned, the novelization to part 3 is very, very different from the film.It was obviously written from an early draft.However, it's still worth reading.

And the recreations of the first two films are also nice, as well.

One nice touch is that all three made a major running theme of Freddy's dependence on fear, which was largely left out in the final film of Part 3 and not touched on again until 2003's Freddy vs. Jason.

Recommended for slasher fans or movie novelization fans.

1 and 2 are great.Pity about 3
The first three Nightmare on Elm Street films in book form.The first two are excellent and you really feel you know the characters whose backgrounds are explored nicely.

But what happened to the novelising of Part 3?Itstarts off well but most of it bears no resemblance to the film at all andseems just an underdeveloped mish-mash.Very disappointing.

The feeblenovelising of Part 3 barely deserves one star, but the novels of the othertwo make this publication on not to miss.And there are some nice photosfrom the films. ... Read more

A faithful Adaptation with some uniquie quirks
Wes Cravens New Nightmare is like so many other movie to book adaptations a faithful transfer from the movie.The story revolves around Heather LAngenkamp (The female Heroin of the first Nightmare Flick) who is making a fairly succesful career outside of horror.She does more Day time TV and so on.The book starts off like the films, in a nightmare.From there she wakes up in the middle of an earthquake with her husband Chase and little boy Dylan.After the quake she is on edge, not just because of the quake but because she has also recieved a stalker who calls her and impersonates Freddy.Shortly there after she does a spot on some Talk show and then heads down to New Line Cinema where she is asked to play Nancy one last time in the Newest Elm Street Film that Wes Craven is currently writing the screen play for.Soon after that her world goes to hell as the spirit of Freddy is after her and her son, while plauging the stars of the first film (John Saxon, Robert Englund, Wes Craven, and probably others their just not mentioned).So she must fight Freddy one last time.

Now what makes the book unique and a definite must read for the Elm street fans is that the author every now and then puts in this mini journal bit and sometimes a newspaper article as he is writing this book.THe way these little scenes play out it's like Freddy is after him as well, thus making reading a little more intersting.

OVerall this is an OK book that probably won't win any one over, but is an entertaining read for Elm Street Fans. ... Read more
