“A Nightmare on Elm Street” on 4K UHD Blu-ray (Available Oct. 15 from New Line Cinema) — My favorite horror movie of all time gets the definitive release, with perfect picture and sound and a collection of decades of special features, including a director’s commentary with the late Wes Craven, behind the scenes footage and an uncut version of the film.
