Vincent D’Onofrio, Heather Langenkamp, Giancarlo Esposito, cast members from the Star Wars saga and even the classic voices of The Little Mermaid and Wolverine will join Freddy Krueger in the metropolis for Montreal Comiccon this summer.
Fans of science fiction, fantasy, horror, video games and comics – in short, everything related to popular culture – will meet at the Palais des congrès from July 5 for the 14e edition of Montreal Comiccon, a complete weekend dedicated to their favorite characters and artisans.
On the menu, meetings with renowned artists, autograph and photo sessions, discussions, a little shopping and, of course, lots and lots of costumes.
Freddy and his victims
The cornerstone of the 2024 edition? The celebrations of the 40the anniversary of the horror saga A Nightmare on Elm Street (Or The claws of the night, in Quebec). For the occasion, Robert Englund (the man behind the infamous Freddy Krueger) will be reunited with Amanda Wyss and Lisa Wilcox, but also Heather Langenkamp, whom he terrorized in three chapters of the series.
