My love for Transformers brought me to the website of Mr. Alexander, who is part of a project titled: The Monster Project. Available on the MP website are samples of their work. One track in particular titled: The Slasher Suite, uses popular slasher themes in a fun medley - including the Nightmare On Elm Street theme. Check out the site here and download this great sample.

Also, Droothr from the Forums reported the following:

...later this Fall NECA will release a limited edition Cult Classics Series entitled Hall of Fame. This collection will be produced in limited quantities and is comprised of characters that were previously only available in deluxe boxed sets or in some cases we have sculpted new pieces to make some of the figures different from versions previously released. New Nightmare Freddy will be the shortpacked figure as he was previously part of Cult Classics Series 2. The difference here is the inclusion of the demon head from the end of New Nightmare. We sculpted this for the 18" version of NN Freddy and loved it so much we wish we had thought of including it back with the original carded release. This is a chance to do that.

Special thanks to Droothr.

Just in time for Halloween, this October Wildstorm will go in a different direction for the publisher and try to haunt your nightmares as they bring back the iconic Freddy Krueger in a new comic book series based on the Nightmare on Elm Street films, right on the heels of a new DVD Special Edition.

October’s A Nightmare On Elm Street #1 is written by veteran Chuck Dixon, penciled by Kevin West, and features covers by Tony Harris, Jim Clark and JD Mettler (as seen here), along with an incentive variant by Tim Bradstreet. According to editor Ben Abernathy, the Wildstorm series will begin with a six-issue arc, composed of two smaller three-issue arcs.

“A new family has moved to Springwood, not aware of the Freddy menace...but they're about to get schooled by the urban legend in a big way!” described Abernathy. “But the real question is - does a former Special Forces Ranger, trained in sleep deprivation and Zen techniques, stand a chance against the this evil master of dreams?”

“It’s an entry level story that’s serves to re-intro Freddy and the core premise of the series,” added Dixon, asked for his description of the series. “The initial story is very much a return to Freddy Krueger of the first movies. This guy is scary rather than a one-liner king. Freddy’s War deals with a dad who’s not going to take Kruger’s assaults lying down. Strike that, okay? He actually is lying down when he enters the nightmare world and challenges Freddy on his own turf with some shock and awe of his own.”

“I’m not a fan of the typical ‘masked guy chases naked teens through the woods’ slasher genre,” continued Dixon, asked if he has been a fan of Freddy Krueger or horror in general. “But I’ve always gotten a kick out of the Nightmare movies. I like the whole aspect of playing with reality and the tension that grows when the sleeping and waking worlds begin to merge. It’s a richer, more intelligent franchise and Freddy is a terrific adversary. His victims are also smarter and more resourceful so it’s more of a battle of wits than other stories of this stripe. I think I surprised Wildstorm with my enthusiasm when they offered this.”

"A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most terrifying films ever made and Freddy Krueger is hands-down the most iconic horror film character ever,” concluded Abernathy. “Our mission with this series - to scare the pants of you!”
