Horror fans geared up for a one-of-a-kind treat in tonight’s The Goldbergs, but some viewers encountered a whole other kind of nightmare.

For New York audiences, the first ten-or-so minutes of tonight’s episode – which saw Robert Englund return to his iconic role as Freddy Krueger – was not actually aired. Instead, viewers were treated to a black screen and a high-pitched beeping sound, which certainly proved to be a whole other kind of creepy.
While it looks like the outage only lasted for a few minutes, it still caused enough of a stir for fans of the ABC sitcom. Here’s a round-up of some of those responses.
Unsettling

Way to Go, Freddy
I guess Freddy Krueger broke #TheGoldbergs. Got a black screen and a weird beeping noise on my TV right now. Only on ABC. Fuck.

…But for some reason ABC is playing a blank screen that’s just beeping.
Not a Fair Trade
hey @ABC something is wrong on your end. #TheGoldbergs isn’t there. Just a high pitched whine.
