It’s on: Freddy and Jason face off in Australia

Robert Englund and Ken Kirzinger to Attend Oz Comic-Con Perth and Adelaide in 2015

Horror icons Freddy and Jason will face off one more time at Oz Comic-Con Perth and Adelaide this April, as actors Robert Englund and Ken Kirzinger join the guest list of Australia’s premier pop culture event.

Robert Englund, best known for his terrifyingly unforgettable role as Freddy Krueger in the
A Nightmare on Elm Street series, and Ken Kirzinger, a talented stuntman who took up the role of Jason Voorhees in Freddy vs. Jason are set to thrill horror fans when they arrive in Australia.

Although best known for his role as Freddy Krueger, Englund has had a long and varied career – appearing in over 75 films such as Urban Legend and Fear Clinic, television shows such as Bones, Criminal Minds and Supernatural, as well as significant voice acting work in television series such as The Batman, The Spectacular Spiderman and Justice League. Kirzinger donned Jason’s famous mask in the 2003 crossover film, Freddy vs. Jason, but has had an outstanding career working as a stuntman outside of his specific on-camera work, with stunt credits including X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, 2012, X-Men 2 and The Incredible Hulk.

Fans at Oz Comic-Con Perth and Adelaide will have the chance to take part in professional autograph and photograph opportunities with Englund and Kirzinger, as well as attend exclusive Q&A panels, in which the pair will answer audience questions. Also available for the ultimate horror lovers are the Freddy vs. Jason Experience tickets, which include a double photo with the pair, autographs from both Englund and Kirzinger, access to an exclusive panel and an intimate evening function on the Saturday night of the convention with the duo. Tickets are now available from http://www.showclix.com/events/18185.

Englund and Kirzinger join a host of guests already announced for Oz Comic-Con Perth and Adelaide, including Kevin Sorbo and Michael Hurst from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Cliff Simon and Michael Shanks from Stargate SG-1 and Amber Benson from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The fun is just beginning, however, with a wide range of guests for the shows set to be revealed in the coming weeks.

Oz Comic-Con will be held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre on April 11-12 and at the Adelaide Showgrounds on April 18-19, and will feature a wide range of fun activities for attendees to enjoy, as well as a variety of film, television, voice actor, and comic book guests.
