Summary: Meh... It's ok
Review: I saw the commercial for BOOGEYMEN one day late at night in the summer and I wanted it since then. The commercial showed clips of some of my favourite Horror movies and so when it was finally released I decided to pick it up. I read on the box that it features 17 movies and over 3 hours of excitment... but I later found out that, that is with everything put together. I liked how they had almost every trailor, the legends and the "Trivia" thing. The "Name That Frame" was pretty cool too... but the worst part of this DVD is pretty much the whole focus of it. They only show about 3-4 minutes of each movie (Halloween gets about 5-6).. and they show some movies that are really [bad] and I have never heard of like The Ugly, and The Guardian... and some scenes arn't very intresting like The Candyman scene, and I dont know why they put Scream and I know what you did last summer on there, everyone and thier mom has seen those parts over and over again. I think they had a good idea, but went the wrong way with it... I like the Secret Jack Frost 2 scene though...

Summary: Depends on your enviorment when watching this DVD
Review: What I mean by the title is if your with your buddies watching it, you'll have a riot. If your watching it yourself, it will be just okay. So it's more of a party type film for a group of people. It's not a whole movie at all, but just clips of the more gross, and scary parts of different horror films.

For everyone it seems different on which part is best. The silver ball in Phantasim made the mocho guys at work cringe and look away. For me 'The Dentist' made me grind my teeth and growl. So it has a little something for everyone. There is a feature that you can turn on the subtitles facts about the clip your watching.

And it's actually very interesting to read these quick facts. Like in Nightmare on Elm Street, 500 gallons of fake blood were used. Did you know Freddy was actually based on a homeless guy that had a burned face and wore a hat and sweater? The dude in Wish Master speaks six different languages. It also has other features on the DVD.

There's some interactive pc games on it I haven't looked at yet. It does have the standard comentaries. I didn't see any special audio setup though. Overall, it's a fun movie worth getting. I give it four stars for fun alone.

Summary: NOT WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
Review: I was very disappointed by this so called "ultimate horror collection" video which is really just a big waist of money. All it is are scenes from out favorite horror movie put together in no specific order. Instead of using imagination and having fun with the idea, all we have are scenes we've seen 300 times already played out once again. Why not have a collection of the best death scenes? The best moments? The goriest moments? The best sequels? The best chase scene? Instead, we get 58 minutes of pure boredom. Even the extras are kinda weak. The "name that fram" game is kinda cool, but what's with the trailers? They don't even have trailers for all the movies or the sequels. And who cares what Robert Englund has to say in a commentary? If you ask me, this was just a cheap, quickly thrown together piece of crap that was meant to rob us of our money. And a side note to all Jason fans; Jason gets the worst treatment when they show a scene from Jason Goes To Hell and then don't even bother to show the full scene, but rather cut away when its getting good.

BOOGEYMEN may look good on the outside......but nothing good comes from the inside. AVOID IT!

Summary: This DVD is a lot of fun
Review: I picked up this DVD last night and had a bunch of friends over Friday to check it out. It was a GREAT time, and I have to agree with another review, the name the frame drinking idea is a great one, we had a blast. There is so much to this DVD its a lot more interactive than anything we'd ever seen!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointed...
Review: I got this DVD yesterday and all I can say is I was disappointed. Like many, I thought the DVD would have a collage of kills from each serial killer, instead it only has one kill per "boogeyman"! And sometimes they're not kills at all i.e. the Scream scene where "Ghostface" chases Sidney through her house and no one dies. I think maybe another scene would have served better (maybe Dru Barrymore being gutted and hung from a tree?).

The good thing (and there aren't many) about this DVD is the trailers for each movie. I thought that was a great touch. Even the commentery from Robert "Freddy" Englund was a nice touch (although some of the stuff he said sounded like it had been written out for him and he was trying to fit all those words into the scene, being how each scene is about 40-60 seconds long!).

I'll hand it to the people who made this compilation though, they advertised it well, and being that Halloween is right around the corner, they knew there would be a demand for this type of video.

Bottom line, this is best for teens into that "new wave horror" like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer fiending for the old stuff they hear their parents talk about. And it's a good way to start their collection!

Summary: Close to being great
Review: I guess i was expecting too much from this dvd but I thought they could have packed some bigger scenes from more horror movies. At least put 90 minutes of footage in there like an average horror movie instead we get 57 minutes of footage. Most of the 17 movies in this dvd are good but you do occasionally see bad, bad movie clips like The Guardian, and Puppetmaster. One movie that I did not know about and that was in this dvd was a new zealand movie called the ugly. It looks really good. This dvd had a name the frame game, DVD-rom contents, trailers for some of the movies, Bios of the movies killers. One classic horror movie missing in this collection is Evil Dead. How bout taking The Guardian out and replacing it with Evil Dead. The audio commentary in this DVD was great and there was also a way where while watching the DVD you could see facts from the movie on the bottom of the screen. So, in conclusion there were many good things on this DVD but me having seen mostly all of these movies just wanted something extraordinary and this DVD didn't have it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This DVD is TIGHT!
Review: I don't care what anyone else says - this dvd rocks! Sure, not all of the scenes are kills, but it's a great variety, especially since there are some cool scenes I've never heard of. That's a good thing, especially if your a horror fan - show me some things i haven't seen before so i can go check them out. And if there's a scene you don't dig, just skip it. That's what dvds are for. There were enough extras and trivia and commentary to waste my whole saturday. I am going to throw this on at Halloween with my friends. Totally a RECOMMEND!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD
Review: I thought maybe this would be silly, but I read some good reviews, and heard a lot about it on various horror message boards I frequent, so I decided to pick it up. Its great! Definitely surpassed my expectactions because it has so much more to it than just a bunch of scenes. The extra features make this a great DVD to have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie rocks
Review: This movie is great! All the best scenes all in one place, and the fun facts are really cool. My friends and I played the name the frame game, guessing the scenes was funny. The commentary is really amusing, and its cool that Robert Englund is on this DVD. It was definitely worth my money

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Forget your doubts!
Review: This is definitely worth every penny. All the facts, and the best gory scenes make this a FUN DVD. Its long enough to get a lot out of it, and I love having all my favorite horror characters all in one place. I've watched it a few times already, and I know I'll keep this one in my changer for months to come!
