Trees for Cities' Nightmare Experience

April 27, 2010 - PRLog -- Warner Bros have donated 65 tickets for the showing, which are available on charity auction site GivingLots.co.uk (Giving Lots).

The remake of Wes Craven’s classic 1984 slasher stars Jackie Earle Haley and has been produced by Michael Bay, with two new sequels set to follow in the franchise.

Trees for Cities is an international charity which plants trees in urban spaces across the world. Tree cover and green space has been shown to promote healthy lifestyles and lower crime levels by creating more welcoming, well-used streets and parks. These encourage walking, cycling and a sense of community ownership, and discourage antisocial behaviour.

Trees for Cities’ representative, Stephen Gray said, “All funds raised through the sale of tickets go towards planting more trees in our cities, so what could be more fitting than A Nightmare on Elm Street?

“If there’s one thing we love more than a city street lined with trees, it’s a city street lined with trees and a serial killer who stalks people in their dreams.”

The showing, in Warner Bros.’ private cinema at Warner House, London on Friday 7 May, starts with a free drinks reception in the early evening with wine donated by Palo Alto winemakers.

In total the charity has planted 200,000 trees worldwide on streets, in parks, local woodlands and community projects, and is involved in a five year project run by the Woodland Trust to record the UK’s oldest and most notable trees by 2011. The database held at www.AncientTreeHunt.org.uk is the first living record of the UK’s oldest trees ever attempted.
