Robert Englund on Becoming the Stuff of Nightmares
Manage episode 514853949 series 3486119
Happy Spooky Season, Everyone! As many of you know, scary movies freak me out. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love today’s guest! Today I’m talking to a horror icon— Freddy himself, Robert Englund! Robert is beloved for his performance as Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street and its many sequels. He has also had an illustrious career outside of Wes Craven’s franchise, appearing in hundreds of films and TV shows, including a recent appearance as Victor Creel in Stranger Things. On Halloween of this year, he will be immortalized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and it could not be going to a sweeter, more generous person. Robert is a joy to talk with and I’m so honored he took the time to chat with me. We have gotten to know each other over years at conventions and we have a great conversation about what it’s like to be associated with an iconic role, his warm relationship with horror fans and how he used his experience on-set to inform his performance as Freddy. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did— and Happy Halloween!
