Summary: A trilogy of cuttingly good adaptations. *mild spoilers*
Comment: This book collects written adaptations of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE, and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS.

As the other review mentioned, the novelization to part 3 is very, very different from the film. It was obviously written from an early draft. However, it's still worth reading.

And the recreations of the first two films are also nice, as well.

One nice touch is that all three made a major running theme of Freddy's dependence on fear, which was largely left out in the final film of Part 3 and not touched on again until 2003's Freddy vs. Jason.

Recommended for slasher fans or movie novelization fans.

Summary: 1 and 2 are great. Pity about 3
Comment: The first three Nightmare on Elm Street films in book form. The first two are excellent and you really feel you know the characters whose backgrounds are explored nicely.

But what happened to the novelising of Part 3? It starts off well but most of it bears no resemblance to the film at all and seems just an underdeveloped mish-mash. Very disappointing.

The feeble novelising of Part 3 barely deserves one star, but the novels of the other two make this publication on not to miss. And there are some nice photos from the films.
