A gore-happy "greatest horror hits" party disc, Boogeymen is a funky and somewhat baffling collection of contemporary horror movie madmen for the Scream generation. Seventeen serial killers and homicidal maniacs are represented in brief but complete scenes, from the classic (Psycho's Norman Bates and Michael Myers from Halloween) to the curious (unknown New Zealand thriller The Ugly) to the preposterous (Wishmaster, Leprechaun, and Corbin Bernsen as The Dentist). Skewed for the video-age horror buff, this is a survey for the children of Freddie Krueger and Jason Voorhees who like their thrillers thick with blood and body parts. Where this scream-a-thon shines is in its presentation: the slickly engineered interactive DVD features optional Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund commentary, playful pop-up "FlixFacts" trivia, trailers, quizzes, and bite-sized character bios, all accessed from snazzy, smooth, easy-to-navigate animated menus. --Sean Axmaker

 The ultimate Halloween Party entertainment! September 5, 2001

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.

If you're a horror fan you HAVE to own this. Imagine taking the most frightening scenes from your favorite horror movies and having them all together - Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Pinhead, Chucky etc. - in one DVD.Boogeymen has 18 scenes in all and they really did pick the best ones. In addition to the classics like Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street , there were some really freaky scenes from movies I have never heard of. It also has some pretty cool extras like pop-up trivia for each scene, audio commentary by Robert Englund, interactive horror trivia games, and a very cool "Legends of the Boogeymen" which is basically histories of the characters themselves.Boogeymen is also a great way to introduce someone to horror; it's like horror 101. And it's a total Halloween party DVD. It's fun to re-live some of these famous scenes and to discover some new movies you've never heard of. I definitely recommend this.
what a GREAT idea ! September 26, 2001

Several of the previous reviews suggest this collection is just what every diehard horror fan needs. But it seems even better suited for casual fans like me. A few months ago, I said to a friend "I wish could edit the ELM STREETS dvds down to just the scenes with Freddie..." Seems perfect for those of us who consider these Boogeymen to be great characters in terrible movies . . .
For all lovers of the horror classics! October 1, 2001

This DVD is a must-have for the upcoming Halloween season for ALL horror enthusiasts! I have never seen not only all these great scenes in one place, but the use of the full potential of a DVD is astounding! The interactivity of the name the scene game, the commentary by Robert Englund, and all the great facts and information makes this DVD packed full of things to watch for hours and hours. Any movie can have a directors commentary, but this is Robert Englund who isn't just anyone in the horror world! No DVD of any genre has ever packed this much fun & information into one disc.
Great party/gift idea! October 2, 2001

Just received my copy of Boogeymen and I have to say, this is a pretty cool idea. Every scary moment and bad guy is in this thing - from Leatherface to Chucky, Jason to Freddie, Candyman to Ghostface (Scream)! I threw a huge party last weekend here at the college and played this in the background, sound off as I do with other cool "background" videos. However, 5 minutes into the video, people were moving from the keg to the couch getting into the trivia game that's a part of it. I now have a video to play at our Halloween party and to give as gifts at Christmas. I also heard this is the first in a series and soon there will be a Best of Fight Scenes DVD coming. Cannot wait!
