If you are a real fan, then you probably own the great Nightmare On Elm Street Collection, with all seven movies (Freddy vs Jason aside) packed with special features, but I recently saw a release of the original NOES with a new "collector's edition" tag so here's my question:

Are there any new special features in this edition at all? Or is this just a cash in?

According to Amazon:
The Infinifilm Special Edition is not the definitive presentation of A Nightmare on Elm Street--minor deleted scenes that have been featured in other DVD releases are not present here, and the version presented in this set is the R-rated edit, which means that the few seconds of splatter trimmed from the picture by the MPAA prior to its theatrical release are still missing. But the new featurettes--on the making of the film, New Line's post-Nightmare horror efforts, and an interesting look at the science and philosophy of dreams--are all well-produced and informative, and offer interviews with most of the major players involved in the production, from Craven and Englund to producers/New Line heads Robert Shaye and Sara Risher. Two commentary tracks--one vintage, with Craven, star John Saxon, Langenkamp, and cinematographer Jacques Haitkin, and the other new, which adds Risher, Shaye, and co-stars Ronee Blakeley and Amanda Wyss to that line-up (but without Saxon)--are also included, as are three alternate endings, each with different impacts.So it has some new stuff, and is missing other stuff. The complete boxed set is only $45, though, so I'd pony up the extra cash for that.

I already own the complete box set, but being a huge Freddy fan, was wondering if buying the new NOES 1 DVD was worth it.

Thanks for the info.
