We are delighted to spook you out on this Halloween by celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Wes Craven's classic film, as part of our new monthly horror night curated and hosted by Emily Booth, ex-Horror channel presenter, and horror actress and filmmaker.
On Elm Street, Nancy Thompson and a group of her friends including Tina Gray, Rod Lane and Glen Lantz are being tormented by a clawed killer in their dreams named Freddy Krueger. Nancy must think quickly, as Freddy tries to pick off his victims one by one. When he has you in your sleep, who is there to save you?
Happy Birthday Freddy!
