Today brought some huge news for Freddy Kruger fans. Robert Englund is going to put himself through it one last time and transform into iconic horror icon Freddy as a part of the Flashback Weekend in Chicago on August 8th. While Robert has been a convention staple for quite some time this will be the first time he has appeared at a convention in the full get up that I am aware of.
Definitely worthy of a road trip in my book.
All the info is in that graphic above and don’t let the fact that the make-up is being constructed and applied by the one and only Robert Kurtzman slip past you. This is going to be a pretty much once in a lifetime opportunity to see Robert in full Freddy mode live and in person and if you’ve got the buck actually get yourself a photo with the dreamstalker.
Awesomeness abounds!
