Freddy at the Ready at Flashback Weekend; See Robert Englund in All His Glory!We told you weeks ago that Robert Englund would be slapping on his burnt makeup and reprising the iconic role of Freddy Krueger at Chicago’s Flashback Weekend; and if you couldn’t make it, we have a look at the dream demon in full regalia!

In celebration of A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s 70th anniversary, Chicago’s Flashback Weekend convention announced that Englund would be appearing at the event in full Freddy Krueger makeup for one night only. Fans were even offered a special ticket package which let them nab a picture with Englund as Freddy, an opportunity that was NEVER before given to us fans.

Utilizing the same extensive process used on the Elm Street film sets, the makeup was applied by FX legend Robert Kurtzman, who worked on both Dream Child and New Nightmare. This marked the first time Englund has ever appeared as Freddy on the convention circuit, and it’s likely the last time he will ever don the iconic makeup.

Look at him below. He looks AWESOME. Someone get him in another A Nightmare on Elm Street!
