An Evening of Frights and Fun

The event will take place at Emagine Novi, where the classic film will roll on the big screen once again.

Unpacking the Legacy

Now, a little bit about the film itself! A Nightmare on Elm Street burst onto the scene in November 1984, marking its territory in the horror genre and quickly becoming a classic. It captivated audiences and grossed an impressive $25 million at the North American box office. But that’s not all! The film continued to build its legacy over the years, becoming a massive hit on home video.

Thanks to its wild success, the movie spawned five direct sequels, along with several spin-offs. Englund reprised his role not just in the original sequels but also appeared in films like Wes Craven’s New Nightmare in 1994 and Freddy vs. Jason in 2003. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger has become synonymous with horror and has left an indelible mark on film history.

But there’s more to the Motor City Comic Con than just Englund. The event this November will feature an impressive lineup, with stars like Vincent D’Onofrio, Ron Perlman, George Takei, Priscilla Presley, Joel McHale, and Wayne Knight also scheduled to make appearances.
