The hugeFreddy gloveis part of the boiler room experience. And it will seemingly move on its own. As stated by theI Like Scary Moviesteam, quite a few horror classics will be getting similar treatment. As you may have noticed from the titles mentioned above, these come from Warner Bros. and sister studio New Line Cinema’s extensive horror vaults. Several iconic scenarios will be resurrected in this real-world setting for everyone to enjoy.
Freddy’s swinging sharp hand will be fully articulated and hinged at the finger joints. Guests attendingI Like Scary Movieswill be able to pose with the oversized claw, made mostly from steel, aluminum and leather. The claw will loom large above the boiler room. This event is already proving to be quite popular, and the pop-up has officially been extended into June. Hopefully a few more sneak peeks will be released leading up to the big launch in April.
