To kick off this brand new month of home media releases, March isn’t living up to its reputation of coming “in like a lion,” as we only have eight different titles headed to Blu-ray and DVD this week.

My Nightmare on Elm Street, which chronicles Mark Patton’s journey through his career pre- and post-noes 2. Rlje Films is releasing the Shudder Exclusive film, The Furies, onto DVD this Tuesday, and Screen Media is cueing up The Sonata for genre fans, which features a performance from the late, great Rutger Hauer.

Other titles coming home on March 3rd include A Wakefield Project, Dead Sound, Don’t Let Them In, I Am Fear, and Primrose Lane.
