Now, a new show from the same theater group will be coming to Colorado this summer, featuring iconic characters from various horror movie franchises.

A Nightmare on Strip Street is Coming to Colorado

The show, titled "A Nightmare on Strip Street", will be similar in nature to its sci-fi predecessor in that attendees will need to be adults because of the show's graphic nature, but instead of featuring characters from Star Wars, it will see fictional characters from some of the most classic horror film franchises of all time take the stage.
