A Nightmare on Elm Street 35th Anniversary Screening with Q&A
From the event description:
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" returns for a special one-night-only 35th Anniversary Fears & Beers screening. Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss and additional cast [to be announced] will be attending the Q&A that follows the screening. In Wes Craven's classic slasher film, several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams — which, in turn, kills them in reality. After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it's too late?
When: Tuesday, Aug. 20, 7:30-9:30 p.m.
