Summary: Awesome!
Review: I love this dvd. I didn't expect much from it at first, thinking that it was just a collection of clips. Boy, was I wrong. This dvd includes some of the best horror clips in history (the "Hellraiser" clip was especially gruesome). Most of the movies' trailers are included too.

If you're wondering whether you should buy this on dvd or vhs, definitely go with dvd! The dvd features an audio commentary with Robert Englund (aka Freddy Kreuger). Englund's commentary is interesting, informative, and hilarious. The dvd also features a fun "name the frame" game.

Everyone is going to disagree with the best ever movie monsters or "boogeymen". If it was up to me, I would have left out the clips of the lame, not-so-scary teeny bopper movies like "Scream" and "I Know what you did Last Summer". Instead, I would have included clips from "The Evil Dead" and "Pumpkinhead". I was, however, pleasantly suprised to see some of my favorite B movie horror flicks featured such as "The Dentist", "Leprechaun", and "Phantasm".

This dvd is a must-buy for any horror fan. You'll play it over and over again. I know I will.

Summary: just in time!
Review: This awesome collection of horror scenes comes just in time for our annual huge Halloween bash. Not only can you watch the scenes straight through, but you can also turn on the FlixFacts and the audio commentary (by Freddy Kreuger himslef: Robert Englund) to find out a bunch more information on the movie, how it was made, behind the scenes secrets and more.

It's about time we see compilations like these. It's very cool to be able to have Jason, Freddy, Leatherface, and all those guys at your fingertips. Also you get the low-down on the characters in the "legends of the Boggeymen"

Plus we plan on using the cool (but sometimes challenging) "name that frame" game for a party game. The winner of each round gets to "kill off" one other player of their choice. The last one standing wins.

A very cool idea incorporating all different types of Boogeymen (some we hadn't seen before) to give you the best horror scenes all in one DVD. Is there a Boogeymen 2 coming soon?

Summary: The ultimate Halloween Party entertainment!
Review: This is very cool! I was at the Fangoria convention in Pasadena and saw a sneak of this DVD. It's basically the "greatest hits" from the greatest horror movies from recent years, as well as a few classics. As I watched it with other conventioneers, it struck me what a great party DVD this was. People were cheering as each great boogeyman came on screen - Pinhead, then Freddy, then Chucky, then Leatherface - a regular parade. So I'm excited to get this for my own Halloween party - just throw it on and let it play.
What's REALLY cool though is all the extra stuff. There's an audio commentary from Robert Englund, and he's really quite good. There's also movie facts about each scene you can turn on or off, and a trivia game and cool name-that-frame game. Since I can't always watch DVDs in my dorm if someone else is watching the TV, I can pop this into my DVD-ROM and access the DVD-ROM features, which are pretty cool. All in all I was pretty impressed by what I saw, and am excited about getting my own copy. It would have been easy to just throw on some ... scenes and make a long horror commercial, but they really put a lot of thought and effort into making this very cool. I'm a real horror fan, so I am happy to say it delivered the goods. I definitely recommend.

Summary: So much potential... too bad
Review: I have been a big fan of the horror genre for nearly a decade. When I heard about this DVD, I was thrilled to hear that some company would be putting out a compilation of great horror moments. Unfortunately, this DVD, while well-meaning, is a weak. "Boogeymen" features essential horror icons like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers doing what they're expected to do (kill people). Aside from the canon, the makers of the DVD decided to include the ridiculous bottom feeders at the butt of horror nerd in-jokes like the husky-voiced cousin of Jambi from "The Wishmaster," the adorable midget from "The Leprechaun," and the Gordon's fisherman from "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Add in some obscure indie horror clip ("The Ugly," which does look interesting) and some straight-to-video shocks ("The Dentist") and one is led to ask if this truly is a collection of "the greatest hits of horror" it so prominently touts on the back in all caps. Where "Boogeymen" fails is in its lack of quality film clips. With only a single brief scene for each of the 17 frightmeisters crammed into just under an hour the discriminating horror buff is definitely not getting enough blood for his buck. With the storage capacity of a DVD, is it too much to ask for multiple clips for each character? The clips themselves range from being great (the first slashing from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and the last scene in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre") to being just plain goofy (The Leprechaun's laugh-inspiring pogostick murder comes instantly to mind). Still, the extra features do add some life to this bloated corpse of a DVD. Along with optional in-feature trivia and DVD-ROM extras, the shining gem of the special features is Robert Englund's colorful audio commentary. With corny jokes and interesting annecdotes, Englund makes even the worst parts of the main feature seem watchable. You don't, however, judge a DVD solely on its special features. Apparently the first volume in a possible series of DVDs, perhaps the makers of this edition can learn from their mistakes when crafting their next killer compilation, "Boogeymen Vol. 2: Electric Boogaloo." Until then, rent the originals.

Summary: good compilation/worth buying
Review: i wouldnt say these are the most frightening scenes from all the horror movies they have on this dvd but some are the most frightening like the hellraiser scene and the classic halloween scene but some i didnt think were the best scenes from the movies they had but it was still a good compilation and horror buffs should definetly get this dvd. it has cool statistics and surveys on it and charchter bios and trivia games for the computer and also on the dvd. it has audio commentary with robert englund aka freddy krugar and has a pop up facts along with the scenes and all the trailors to the movies. this is a pretty cool dvd, only reason i didnt give it 5 stars was because i thought that some of the scenes they had in there like the friday the 13th one could have had killing in it or a more memorable moment from the movie itself but overall this is a dvd worth owning if your a horror fan, its fun and has some great classic scenes in it. :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Definitly worth the purchase
Review: I personal love the collection. They could have chosen a different clip for Jason (i.e. Part 4 or 6), and I don't even know what they were thinking when they put I Know What You Did Last Summer in. Something like Children of the Corn would have been a much better choice. The hidden Jack Frost 2 clip also always provides for a good laugh (I'll give you a hint, it's hidden in the Flix-Mix Recommends page). The commentary from Freddy (Robert Englund) is also pretty cool.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a great DVD for Horror Fans.
Review: This Horror Documentary of Famous Scenes from Some of the Scariest and Creepiest Horror/Fantasy film to Come Out in Classic Scenes from:The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser, Candyman, Wishmaster, The Guardian and another films.

This DVD is quite amusing thanks to Robert Englund Commentary track, which is fun and entertaining, what he knows about the Trivia on the movies, he worked and didn't work on. All scenes are Digitally Remastered in a Widescreen (1.85:1) aspect ratio to a (1.33:1) Full Screen aspect ratio and also great soundtrack on Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. If you are a Huge Horror Fan, this is Worth your Money. Grade:B+.
