AMAZING!!!! Freddy continues to be my all time favorite horror movie villian. Robert Englund gives this character such life. I watched this great Wes Craven interview where he explains how originally he was going to be casting a much older man for the role of Freddy. Like 70 years old. Freddy was a character Wes created after being scared to death by a very old creepy man when he was just a small child like 5 or 6. In the interview he talks about how when he was home as a small boy with his mother and was looking out his window this man was walking down the street and stopped right in front of his house and was staring straight at him. The man then started walking to his front door and tried coming into his house but the door was locked, Wes then ran to his mother crying but when the mother came to check the creepy man was already gone. This is where Wes Craven created Freddy Krueger from. So when casting A Nightmare on Elm Street he kept casting these very old men like the one that scared him as a child but he realized it just didnt work for what he envisioned for the film. And he said after he saw Robert Englund audition he knew he just had to be Freddy. I believe Robert was 34 at the time of the first Nightmare. Pretty awesome story. I love all the Freddy films. I got the pleasure of meeting Mr. Englund at a couple of conventions as well. He is really funny and nice to talk to in person. Great guy.

By the way, I never said I didn't like the '80s. There are tons of movies and music that I adore from that time period, but saying "everything was so well made" during that era is simply laughable.

Robert is the man! One of the most fantastic actors on the planet! So underrated, deserves even more work than he gets. He's also a fantastic storyteller and just an all around great guy. Not only does he play the best Horror character ever made but he's the best horror movie actor of all time.

Other then being adored by his fans for his work, he is one of the few actors out of millions who has been able to make a very comfortable living and career for himself. Also, one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet or work with.

He was definitely scary, but I always felt there was a sensuous, sexy vibe to Freddy Krueger and seeing Robert England in this interview, it's easy to see why.🥰

He was great in 'V' though as the good guy. It's amazing how he went from the good guy in casting to nothing but Freddy. Yet he is the absolute best.

it was 1989, he talks about "Nightmare V" as of his latest movie and of "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane" as of his upcoming movie, which actually went out in 1990.

Actually, I did not tape this off TV. I was lucky enough to be the one doing the interview. This is Barry Roskin Blake of the old show "Inside Entertainment" and I have been so fortunate to have interviewed Robert three times in the last twenty years. The first one being at his home up in the hills. It's not the greatest video quality but sort of fun. If any of you want, I can post it in the next couple of days.
