We went to that horror thing but, it would have cost too much money for Freddy so we got other pics and autographs from some of the people who in A Nightmare on Elm Street. We saw other people who are in other horror movies as well so it was ok. I was kinda bummed that we couldn't afford the money for a pic and autograph from Robert Englund but, I did have fun so that is something. 
When you get the chance, check out "Death of Some Salesman"; it's a TFTC thing, in which TIm Curry plays ... I'll let you find out for yourself. It's hilarious due to his mannerisms and vocal contortions! You'd probably enjoy it.
