Summary: skeptic proven wrong!
Review: I was skeptical about this movie after seeing a lot of ads on tv. For an horror fanatic like myself, I was afraid it would be beneath me. But its not! The facts and commentary are great, and really add a lot to this collection. This is a great DVD to watch when I want to see my favorite seens, and I really enjoyed the name the frame game.

Summary: great quality
Review: This is a great DVD you can't afford to miss out on! The quality of the entire DVD is great, and all the clips I expected to be on it were there! The best part is the interactive things, it makes it much more than just a bunch of scenes slapped together.

Summary: extremely disappointed
Review: I had not heard very good things about this compilation of clips so I decided to rent it rather then spend the money on purchasing something that sounded rather pointless. So I rented it to gather my own opinion. This dvd is very incomplete in my opinion. It shows 16 rather short clips from various horror films that left me feeling empty and void from any kind of entertainment. The concept was good but executed poorly. Maybe they'll get it rite next time. There should have been more than one clip from each movie, and having said that, let them be the complete clip. Many of them just kind of stop in the middle of a scene leaving you saying, "What the hell was the point of that." There are some interesting extra tidbits but not worth the money of purchase. I consider myself a pretty big fan of the genre starting from a very young age but this dvd in my opinion was just another way of cashing in on some horror icon faces that doesn't hit it's mark.

Review: MY ALL TIME FAVORITE HORROR FILMS CUT IN TO ONE DVD WITH AUDIO COMMENTARY BY THE KING THE LEGEND ROBERT ENGLUND Freddy Krueger

Rating:
Summary: Great bang for your buck
Review: A very impressive collection of scenes with great extras makes this an ESSENTIAL addition to your horror library. Not merely an appetizer for the included films, this DVD strings together the best (and almost best) moments from the iconic horror films from the past 25 years. That by itself is fantastic, but the EXTRAS are what make this such a must-have, especially for the price.Despite what a reviewer below says, the audio commentary by Robert Englund is wonderful. Between his comments and the flix facts, i got a nice dose of horror info on my favorite horror films. I even learned a few things. The trivia game was fun, Name that Frame was cool, and I especially liked the Legends of the Bogeymen, which is basically a bio of each of the nightstalkers in the collection.
This is pure entertainment, containing the best scenes with lots great extra features, and it's just plain a lot of fun. Anyone wanting more than that at a price like this is missing the point. I am definitely pleased with my purchase and recommend it to anyone who loves horror.

Summary: Love it, Loved it, LOVED IT!
Review: Ah, finally some kind of redemption for the studios pushing back both the new "friday the 13th" & "Halloween" movies until next spring. This little DVD may not have EVERYTHING, but it has enough. Anyone who says this DVD is too short, too brief, cannot possibly be a true horror fan. You have to appreciate this for what it is, a GREAT collectors party disc, and basically a review of WHY we love horror films! Its not meant to contain every scene of our favorite flicks, just the realllly good gory parts of them! :o)
The triva section is good as well, although I will admit the screen test is pretty easy since all the stills are from the clips on the DVD.
The quality of the menu and selections are outstanding. I think that its a very well researched disk. The "legends" sections are fun to read, and the bonus original trailers of seleted films are cool as well.
All in all, if you really like horror movies, you'll really like this disc. I really can't see how anyone could be really disapointed with this, its alot of fun to watch and something to keep us busy till they release "Jason X" and "Halloween: The Homecoming"

Summary: Now THIS is cool !
Review: Talk about a great idea?!!! It's about time someone took all the cool scenes and put it on a DVD. I played it at a party the other night... and there is nothing better then having the girls getting scared.. I haven't seen all the movies, but I think I am going to go rent a few and watch the whole thing. 2 thumbs up!

Summary: FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!!
Review: I have always been a fan of the horror genre, and being able to watch the best of the best all in one package is unbelieveble. Not only do they show the scariest scenes these "boogeymen" have to offer, but the special features will have you pinned as much as the scenes themselves. Audio comentary by robert englund, unknown facts that make you better appreciate the movie, and the best part - the complete legend behind each "boogeyman," which definately clears up a lot of misunderstandings. Flix Mix has a good thing going, and i look forward to see what else they have to offer. With Halloween just around the corner, Boogeymen is a prime purchase, and this coming from a girl!

Summary: Boogeymen-Big Dissapointment!
Review: I orderd the DVD the day it went on sale, and got it over nighted to me. To say I looked forward to this was a understatement. I am a huge horror fan! HUGE! And my favorite films are Halloween and Friday the 13th. When I saw the trailer for the video/dvd on E!, I was so excited about it. I couldnt wait until it went on sale the 1st. So I get it, and I take it home and turn it on. Now let me say this first, I knew it wasnt the full movies, however, I thought it would be clips from the movie...more than 1 clip, or atleast more than 45-60's of clips for each movie. So I turn it on, and I start it up and it starts. First character is Pinhead, they show a 60-80 second clip and move onto Freddy. They show a 45-55 second clip. It goes on and on like this for the whole movie. Short meaningless clips, I think the body count through the whole movie was 5. Including 1 death of a quote-unquote monster, Carmilla. Who honestly, I never heard of.And some clips are just straight stupid, "I know what you did last summer", "Scream", "The Dentist", "Guardian", GIVE ME A BREAK! So we get to the last 2 clips of Jason and Halloween. Jason's clip is 45 seconds, and is the opening screen from Jason goes to Hell: The Final Friday, nice pick of a sceen for Jason...NOT. It picks up as he throw's the chick over the rail, and she runs through the woods, turns and stops, and just as he raises his knife and the lights of the swat team members zoom on, and as they are about to shoot Jason into pieces, the clip ends. I was so disappointed, I couldnt see straight. Then Halloween's clip comes on, it starts right after Jamie Lee tells the 2 little kids shes killed Micheal and to go next store and get help, and then he comes up the stairs, she runs in the closet, he punches it open, and she stabs him and climbs out. Anyway, the clip stays on until Loomis runs in and shoots Micheal and he falls out the window and he looks out and see's hes gone. Longest clip of the DVD was the Halloween clip. All 2:23 seconds of it. They say 3 hours of entertainment, its 58 minutes of clips, then you have to go to features, and turn on Commentary from Robert England(Freddy), and then you can go back to features and turn on a info. box , that gives you tidbits on the movies production and etc. etc. while you watch it. The best past of the movie was when Robert England's commentary was turned on, and he commented on the Jason Clip, saying, " Freddy .vs. Jason will happen" The most excited I got all movie, hearing that this will take place. Also, the name the frame game, is stupid..it doesnt keep score, you click scramble, and it puts a new frame up, and you have 7 options. Same 7 options everytime. Also, Trailors do not include Jason Goes To Hell, Nightmare on Elm Street or Texas Chainsaw Massacure. It does contain Halloween's newest trailor, not the original, the newest one which is totally stupid and short. Trailors are ok, movie clip portion is horrible, and basically DVD is a waste. If not for Robert Englund's commentary, which includes jokes and sometimes he actually acts like Freddy which is very amusing, without that this DVD would be the worst thing Ive ever seen. Hopefully, they make another one, because although Im sure this one sold many of copies, they know mistakes were made and I am sure the next one will be great and longer.Hope my review may change your mind on buying a new copy, because ...it is a horrible horrible movie, Id suggest renting it if you want to..but even $(...) may be to much to spend on this piece of junk. It gave a true Horror experience though, the horror of disappointment and bordom.

Summary: Weak Scenes Samples But Great Extras
Review: "For the first time ever, the most terrifying scenes from the scariest movies have been brought together in one incredible collection." Close, but no cigar here. This collection if for ONLY the most avid and crazy horror movie fans who must have everything. I recommend that, as I did, you rent this interesting collection of horror scenes. The Freddy (upside-down room), Scream ("Ghostface" chase), and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (final scene) scenes are excellent and classic, while Leprechaun, Jason, and several others are quite sub par. There is some good gore with The Puppetmaster, and there was an introduction to The Ugly's murderous Simon. Overall, disappointing. The greatest part on this DVD set is Robert Englung's audio commentary. His behind-the-scenes look at several of these pictures, his knowledge of the cast and crew, and his own experiences, bring the scenes to life. The original theatrical trailers are also very interesting. (It is a hobby of mine to track down a trailer and see what scenes they chose to put into the trailer.) Overall, the scene collection is disappointing, with only a few good choices. The audio commentary and extra, though, pick up some of the slack and keep it interesting. RECOMMEND? Yes--but to rent. It will give a selections of movies to rent if you haven't seen all the movies on this package.
