Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has announced the release date of New Line Cinema’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 4K collection, which will include all seven movies in Wes Craven’s iconic horror franchise.

Besides Englund, the movies also featured notable appearances from Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp, John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Patricia Arquette, Laurence Fishburne, and Breckin Meyer. The first installment remains as the franchise’s highest-rated movie with a Certified Fresh rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.
