Movie set vehicles and a host of favourite film characters will be bringing the action to Newcastle this autumn in an event which will also offer visitors the chance to play retro arcade machines for free.
The Nerd Fright Fest will be making a comeback to The Boiler Shop in October with an array of eye-catching guests and attractions. Among them will be a Ghostbusters ecto-1 car - the Ectomobile which featured in the whole film franchise - and a Jurassic Park jeep plus a Gremlins movie set.
The event, which is out to raise money for Cash for Kids which supports disadvantaged children in the North East, will also include Ghostbusters and Star Wars characters alongside Iron Man and Batman in its movie theme mash-up and there will be gaming tournaments and cosplay competitions too for those who want to enter into the spirit of the occasion.
