Boogeymen - The Killer Compilation

Rating:
Summary: Great Horror Primer
Review: I am just starting my DVD collection, so I am getting the basics - Matrix, Apocalypse Now, Fight Club. But I am also a horror fan, so I started with this, and I am really surpised at how good it is. It's the *best of* modern horror's monsters, and it whets your appetite for the whole movie. Non-stop best scenes, and some tight extras. Fun to watch with friends too. As a college student on a limited budget, this is a great buy.

Summary: Awesome - a Horrors Greatest Hits
Review: I am so stoked about this dvd. It had most of my favorite horror scenes, plus a few i've never seen but want to check out now. Very cool trivia, cool commentary. I liked the "Legends of the Boogiemen" - they were fun. A definite must if you're a horror fan.

Summary: Finally!
Review: Someone finally has put together all the cool parts of movies! I got the Bogeymen DVD yesterday and am really stoked with it. It has all the classic creeps and some other fun ones. It's also fun to play with all the interactive features it has. Talk about the ultimate Halloween entertainment! I hope that this is the future of DVD. They're coming out with a fight one next and can't wait to see what they come up with after that.

Summary: This DVD will make you a horror fan
Review: Before Boogeymen I had maybe seen 3 horror movies in my life (Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Psycho). So I am not a horror fan. But my friend is and he got Boogeymen and we watched it together. We watched it with the flixfacts on (very key) and again with the Robert Englund commentary on and I learned so much about the horror movie world. Now I appreciate what all the fuss is about. It's kind of cool; especially when you get the insights of the actors & directors involved. After a few hours of watching Boogeymen, I can hold my own in any horror movie discussion (although I did not do too well on the dvd-rom trivia game). So if you don't have the desire to watch all the movies, but want to be clued in to this immensely popular genre, I recommend buying Boogeymen. With all the great scenes, commentary, trailers, flixfacts etc. you will wind up a horror fan just like all the other freaks out there!

Summary: I recommend this DVD to all from rookies to horror fanatics
Review: Where can you find the best horror scenes in together in one place? BOOGEYMEN! One of the best horror collections I have seen, it has the classics Freddy, Jason, Leatherface and Pinhead. Boogeymen DVD has great special features from "Legend of the Boogeymen" to audio commentary from Robert Englund which I enjoyed (You know who he is if your true horror fan). I also enjoyed the interactive trivia games. There is nothing I seen that comes close Boogeymen. I recommend this DVD to all from rookies to horror fanatics.

Summary: Calling All Horror Fans
Review: When I first heard people talking about Boogeymen in the chat rooms, etc. I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but then I went to the Fangoria convention, saw a demo and was totally surprised at how cool this is. I was even more surprised when I glanced up from the monitor (at the convention) and noticed that Robert Englund was standing there watching too!
Boogeymen is not just a bunch of clips, its like a mini "web" of horror info, games, commentary, scenes, trivia, etc. I spent a couple hours just skipping around looking at all the different stuff. I'm definately going to have this on the TV during my Halloween party!

Summary: Totally F*in Cool!!!!!!!!!
Review: The commentary by Robert Englund is so cool. "Freddy" gives all kinds of inside info about all the scenes on the disk (not just Nightmare). You thought you knew everything about Jason, Leatherface, etc. WRONG!

Summary: Hours of fun!!!!!!!!
Review: You guys have got to check out Boogeymen. I've already spent hours playing with it with my buddies. It's addicting. First, the trivia about each scene is hilarious and really cool. And the games are totally fun and actually pretty hard. And you have to make sure you watch the scenes with the Robert Englund commentary - he is hysterical. There are some really wierd new scenes in the collection which are interesting to see, like 'the ugly' and 'the dentist'. And of course the guys we love - Freddy, Michael M., Leatherface, Chucky - they are all in there in their most killer moments.

Summary: Boogeymen never lets up, but does let down.
Review: The DVD "Boogeymen" is essentially "Slasher Movies' Greatest Hits." And like a greatest hits album, the good stuff is there, but it doesn't flow or have any depth like a real album would.
The compilation seems like an hour long trailer. There isn't any kind of continuity to make it a film, its simply a random succession of scary scenes. And if thats what you are looking for, a "horror sampler," then this is a good DVD to watch. But for the average horror buff, to whom it targets, it is basically paying ...to buy scenes you already own.
The line-up is a little suprising: there are the big-shots (i.e. Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers, etc.), but then there are some goofy choices (Wishmaster, Leprechaun, The Dentist). But the biggest suprise is the New Zeland film "The Ugly" which, although is probably a better horror film than most of the others, has very little American followers.
The best special feature offered is the audio commentary by Robert Englund. If you've seen most of the movies, just watch it with the commentary the first time. Also a trivia game is offered on the DVD-Rom with some good questions for horror buffs.
If you are just in the mood for some sensless violence, "Boogeymen" should quench your bloodlust, but if you are looking for an interesting horror compilation check out "Terror In The Aisles" which is much longer and has a much better flow to it.

Summary: Great entertainment experience
Review: What I liked most about Boogeymen is that it's almost like a game, movie, and book rolled into one. Consumers will be surprised at all the great features within the DVD. For anyone who is somewhat interested in the horror movie world, these bonus features really make Boogeymen a compelling entertainment experience . Beyond just the scenes (which are freaky and fabulous), there is all this great trivia, filming notes, an addiciting game called 'name that frame' which is much harder than it seems (even for hard-core horror fans. I dare anyone to try and get 5 frames in a row correct) and a very difficult trivia game on DVD-ROM. And having all the original theatrical trailers for these horror films is a movie collector's dream. The scenes are great, don't get me wrong. But as a DVD fan, I bought and liked Boogeymen almost more for its interesting and unusual features.
