This Saturday saw Burbank's horror specialty store Dark Delicacies host what might have been the biggest Nightmare on Elm Street reunion ever. Dozens of cast and crew members from all the Nightmare films -- as well as the TV spin-off Freddy's Nightmares -- came out to sign DVD copies and posters of the ultimate Nightmare documentary, Never Sleep Again, which will be released tomorrow, May 4. Hit the jump for a smattering of photos from the event.

The day began early Saturday morning as fans lined up outside Dark Delicacies, one of two stores in which Nightmare celebs signed (the other store, the comic and gaming shop Emerald Knights, was located across the street).

Once inside Dark Delicacies, fans made their way across the perimeter of the store, along which sat not only Freddy's friends and foes...

...but the team responsible for Never Sleep Again, writer/producer Thommy Hutson, co-director/producer Daniel Farrands, and co-director/editor Andrew Kasch.

Also on hand was Never Sleep Again narrator/producer (and Nightmare legend), Heather Langenkamp.

Dark Delicacies owner (and horror writer) Del Howison greeted guests in his Nightmare-themed finery.

Across the street, at Emerald Knights, more Never Sleep Again crew joined in the festivities, including makeup artist and genre journo Jenna Busch.

The Freddy's Nightmares crew was present as well, including director Mick Garris.

The supply of posters available for signing quickly sold out at the event. But don't have nightmares over it -- you can still get one of your own, signed by Heather Langenkamp herself, by ordering the Never Sleep Again DVD online by June 1 at the documentary's official website.
