rating on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 13 reviews. Home media Scream Factory (a subsidiary of Shout! Factory) released the film on February 17, 2015 for the first time on Blu-ray Disc in the United States. The film was released alongside the documentary film, Behind the Mask: The Making of "The Phantom of the Opera". The documentary film featured interviews with Englund, Nighy, Hyde-White, Shannon, and director Little. The alternative title cover of the film was "Freddy: The Musical". Cancelled sequel Englund was under contract to appear in a sequel, but it was canceled after the film's poor reception, and has been the subject of numerous rumors. Fangoria Magazine stated in 1991 that the script was re-written into what became 1992's film Dance Macabre, also starring Englund. Englund confirmed in a 2004 interview that a script had been written, and while he personally felt it was superior to the first film, it had never been filmed in any capacity. In 2012, Englund was asked at a memorabilia sale about the possibility of a sequel happening in the near future; Englund informed everybody in attendance that although it would be overwhelming to see a sequel, the chances of it happening at this stage are "highly unlikely".
