Novi Gears Up for a Night of Horror and Nostalgia
If you’re a fan of classic horror films, mark your calendars! The city of Novi is about to be graced by a true icon of the genre. On November 9, which coincidentally is the 40th anniversary of “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” the legendary Robert Englund, known for his chilling portrayal of Freddy Krueger, will host a special screening of the original 1984 film at Emagine Novi.
A Spooky Celebration
This isn’t just any screening; it’s a celebration of a film that sent shivers down the spines of audiences everywhere when it first hit theaters. “A Nightmare on Elm Street” was a groundbreaking horror flick that introduced fans to the terrifying concept of a monster that haunts your dreams. It quickly became a box office hit, grossing a whopping $25 million across North America and securing its place as a cult classic.
After its theatrical success, the film made its way into homes, where it continued to terrify viewers through countless late-night screenings. The impact of this iconic film has been immense, leading to five direct sequels and appearances by Englund in several spinoff films, including “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” in 1994 and “Freddy vs. Jason” in 2003.
What to Expect at Emagine Novi
On this special night, fans will have the rare opportunity to see the original film on the big screen once again. Following the screening, Englund will participate in a Q&A session, where attendees can ask questions and hear firsthand stories from the actor about his experiences bringing the infamous Freddy Krueger to life. It’s a dream come true for horror aficionados—and a chance for nostalgic fans to relive the chills of their youth.
Ticket Details
Tickets for this exciting event are priced at $40 and will go on sale starting at 11 a.m. on Friday. However, there’s a catch: they are being offered exclusively to attendees of the Motor City Comic Con happening in November. This means that if you want to snag a seat to this spine-chilling experience, you’ll need to be part of the comic con crowd.
Meet the Stars
Englund is not the only star appearing at the Motor City Comic Con. The event will also feature a star-studded lineup, including popular names such as Vincent D’Onofrio, Ron Perlman, George Takei, Priscilla Presley, Joel McHale, and Wayne Knight.
