[@PhillT1988]

He really seems like one of the nicest people ever

[@candyqueenify]

I know!!! :D

[@azurequincy]

He looks tired...poor guy he has been working so hard.

[@redhotchilifan98]

But still gave a great interview hes an awesome guy

[@onlyme9254]

azurequincy hope he doesn't fall a sleep!

[@themathanator432]

azurequincy ikr ☹️ I feel so bad for him

[@BonesBrigader]

Even 8 years later he still hasn't stopped 😂 how cool is that

[@supersullivan9868]

Now that I think about it, I'm kinda jealous of this guy. Unlike everyone else who is afraid of him, he doesn't have to worry about having any nightmares about Freddy Krueger because he IS Freddy Krueger lol

[@dannyjay735]

Super Sullivan LMAO 😂

[@krystaldonnise490]

Ha! I never thought about that 😂

[@WintersArcher]

You forgot about Jason....

[@alinaperez475]

I’m dead 🤣

[@flowrepins6663]

i saw his movie and went to sleep i actually wanted to dream with freddy kiling.me... i did unfortunate had a dream about breaking the toys of my cousin by accident in the elevator and making her cry..stupid dream

[@frankcabanski9409]

He has it wrong. Freddie wasn't the icon. He was the icon. He was good even in the bad Nightmare movies. He did a terrific job as Freddie/

[@harmie1743]

Its spelt Freddy..

[@fabiobonetta5454]

You re so right

[@classicalmusic1175]

Such a wonderful man. Thank you Robert for your passion for horror, and the loyalty and kindness you show your fans.

[@TheDevilsLovechild]

Robert Englund as Freddy Kreuger is hands down THE best horror character of all time. Just a shame they bled it to death

[@Bobby14]

TheDevilsLovechild yeah, he works a lot, i think his nightmares come even in the makeup room! Man, they put him tons of makeup and things for the voice, when characters like Michael Myers or Jason just put on a jacket with trausers and a mask

[@user-pf7qg9lc6p]

So i am agree. Freddy Krueger is the best of all time.

[@headshot217]

Facts

[@jameshead833]

I like Jason 2 but Freddy Vs jason Vs ash is the best concept I love those comics

[@michaelguernsey9685]

Robert Englund Is The Best Freddy Kreuger Of All Time Who Else Can Do it Better Than Robert Englund Himself

[@yatsey007]

How can a man who scared the absolute fuck out of me through my youth be so sweet in real life?! Freddy genuinely haunted my dreams as a kid and ruined bedtime for years! I thank you Robert,I wouldn't have changed any of it for the world.

[@zombieman2122]

Thought his hand was glued to his head until 2:18 ;)

[@DwanGarcez]

Your comment made my day.

[@Phoenix3ntertainment]

zombieman2122 Imagine it's not his hand, but the interviewer's. Makes the first few minutes of this interview hilarious ; -)

[@marcelo78]

Right! Englund deserves this recognition.

[@sexyylexyy100]

Im one of his third generation fans ❤️😅

[@flowrepins6663]

you need to have blonde babies with blue eyes and keep them.like that for all theyre descendets

[@j800r]

OMFG!! Wes Craven's New Nightmare was MY favourite too!!! 1 and Dream Warriors take equal second place for me.

[@Cowgirlfrom_Hell]

I'd love to meet him. He seems so down to earth. I'm glad he's not stuck up like most celebrities.

[@reluctantidiot2995]

Englund is so good to the fans, been a fan for over 30 years!! Thanks for my very first nightmare when I was 4!

[@georgethomson6387]

Reluctant Idiot thought that it was bad me seeing A Nightmare on elm Street age 8 in '84, but you beat me on that one.

[@Vampire-666.]

I met Robert Englund in the Olympia in London on March 1st 2020!!!!!!!! He was a great guy to meet!!!!!!!!!!

[@andreyilkevich]

I wish all people in the US spoke the same English so I could understand them all .. very clear , very good pronunciation. Every single word he say is easy to understand

[@ShadowKrueger]

The mind of Wes Craven and the crazy but phenomenal actor Robert England. They were the reason we’re afraid to sleep at times and think we hear a screeching sound on metal in a hallway. Forever in our hearts is Robert/Freddy and Wes Craven ❤️

[@Goremeister100]

For a while there I thought his hand was glued to his face. Englund is the man but nothing beats Freddy in the first film. After that he became a joke.

[@rippedabdominals7239]

robert is such a nice and down to earth guy

[@jessicagentry6379]

He is one of my favorite Actor of all time.

[@_TheHorrorFanatic]

He is my favorite actor and he is my idol

[@stevenangelico9980]

when I was young my uncle made an actual glove with real blades scared the shit out of me at 6 years old but these movies are still my favorite out of all the boogie men If I had the mask and the glove it would bring back good memories of my uncle even though I couldn't sleep for a long time lol.

[@bpmshortfilms]

long time fan of the series including freddy's nightmare. as a child i couldnt get enough of the nightmare series, ive also enjoyed the books. i was lucky enough to see the nightmare series as a very young child. i remember going to sleep and thinking how i would defend myself against freddy as my counting sheep for sleeping. i think i had a good plan, but never tested.

[@nikeplaya795]

I was so excited when he took his hand off his face.

[@adrian.k1982]

I just adore this guy. 🤩😘

[@SuperSpiritguy]

I know I would cry my heart out if I met Robert.He is my absolute idol in the world of cinema.I've grown up watching Robert's performances in his movies.He has truly inspired me like no other person on this planet.I want him to live a long,happy and healthy life.I truly love this guy and just his whole entire being.He's such a sweet and highly intelligent guy too.He seems very tired in this interview,and yet,still finds time to talk and be kind and sweet.

[@gulllars]

Such a great man. Much respect.

[@thelocusst]

God, I love this man.

[@INTOTHEFOLD]

Super intelligent and grateful guy. Love him.

[@ghoulworldorder2406]

He has probably the best legacy in the horror business. Robert England appeals to ALL generations! {Buzz Killer}

[@robertwelliver3717]

How is that a Buzz-Killer?? o.O lol

[@ghoulworldorder2406]

Just all that he's done. His legacy, I mean. He seems to be the one that's most recognizable. Just my thoughts, anyway.

[@robertwelliver3717]

I'm not gay but I'll be the first to tell you that I fucking adore this man; Robert Englund. He's just the best, man. And even without 'fanboying', even a little, I can unflinchingly say that he is the only actor I can think of that has the ability to play such the.... vile, perverted, evil, nightmarishly ghoulish characters one can think of .... and yet, be *such* a kind soul. He also seems like he always makes time for his fans, and genuinely enjoys (most) conversations with them ... and that's regardless of how, completely fucking exhausted the man looks, and I'm sure feels, AND not even come across as a dickface. I can tell you right now, that, is something I know I would fail at lol. I mean, I obviously wouldn't want to, intentionally, be a dick to fans of mine, but... if I worked the kind of work/hours that he does (especially at the age of 69...?) heh, yeaaaahhh, NO! AND THEN have to deal with hordes of screaming fanboys/girls (I say that like it's a bad thing, even though I'm sure it's not lol, although..... I'm sure it can be, and HAS been a total pain in the ass before for him). But yeah, I would not be in *nearly* as good a mood, as he (at least appears) to be. I mean... lol, fuck dude, you Have to give the man props. Like I said, the man is just the fuckin' best, and he is one, of only 3 individuals, that I have on my bucket list, as a person I want to shake hands with. One day.... One day, hopefully, I can make that happen!

[@entersandman-harvesterofso3721]

Robert Welliver you don't have to be gay to like a celebrity doesn't matter who they are

[@Williamwestp24]

It doesn't matter if you are gay or not. You don't have to admit you ain't gay.

[@robstrickenfeary]

I'm not gay either, and I'm proud if it. I'm extremely proud to be straight and no one can take this happiness away from me.

I would love to share a few beers with this guy and just listen to his stories. Fucking legend!!

[@harmonygalvin1814]

If you weren't there in the 80's for Freddymania, you don't know what you missed. Like Star Wars for the 70's kids, it was truly an exciting time. We had one a year, until the dawn of the 90's changed things forever. They would have Elm Street marathons at the movies and those who came dressed as Freddy would get in for free. Englund was a true rock star. Fangoria was the reigning magazine of horror. Motley Crue and Guns N' Roses ruled the airwaves. It was a fabulous time and the further we move away from it in time, the more mythical that time becomes for us. Robert Englund knows the zeitgeist he tapped into - even without ever making a movie again, he can make a healthy living in his twilight years on the convention circut. It'll be a truly sad time when he's no longer with us, and the death of a major icon.

[@nerdpill6776]

Great guy, very nice to his fans and we appreciate it! :)

[@Mulder-Scully]

Ah Robert you gotta love him, nicest down to earth guy ever.

[@Martialartsmaster31]

The "poster boy" of iconic horror films!!!

[@twist58]

Ext. CEMETARY - DUSK Freddy manifests from the dream world. He looks around, until he sees a headstone in front of him labeled, WES CRAVEN. He approaches it. After a slight pause, Freddy sneers at first and hesitantly, but quickly removes his razor glove and places it on the grave. He walks away, waving his hand [where he once donned his glove] in the air and then proceeds to remove his hat, placing it against his chest faintly smiling as he re-enters a portal back to the dream world. Freddy: (echos) Master... FADE TO BLACK

[@derekhanson4868]

This would be cool to see

[@kristinesmart24]

Wow....that was a great scene.

[@ogphantom15]

Got to love this man!! he's amazeing!! i want to meet him so much!!!

[@Fader209]

First film is still scary to this day with just that concept of being afraid to fall asleep. Sure we have more nasty horrors these days with the torture scenes made famous from the Saw franchise but that is more sinister and uncomfortable to watch rather than pure horror.

[@flowrepins6663]

i actually was excited to fall asleep hoping i would feel like in the movie. it didny work out i dream about my cousin.

[@faythbretherton]

Really would love to meet this guy!!!!

[@tonyanastasio6959]

I feel the same. It's my biggest dream to meet this idol. I'd cry my eyes out if I were to meet him. It's been my dream to meet him and talk since I was small. Seems such a nice guy. He loves us fans. We love him. Glad Robert is loved because he deserves it.

[@LUCKO2022]

Tony Anastasio Well I GOT TO. I missed the photo op, but I did get to meet him and I got his autograph on a Freddy picture they had at the comic show and I got him to sign my NES Nightmare on Elm Street cart.

[@La-Toya0488]

Mr. Englund, YOU are the reason why I fell in love with Horror movies. Freddy Krueger will ALWAYS be my favorite monster. You are right Sir, because Dream Warriors is indeed my favorite of the series. Willie was also my favorite character on V. I'm a lover of all things Old School, so I prefer the original V & A Nightmare on Elm St. movies. #ChildOftheSeventies 😁😁

[@bocmaxima9721]

I always thought he was British. Now that I think about it, it's probably because of his last name, manipulating my subconscious. Freddy at work once again. Well played, Robert.

[@themelidenstar7040]

He is of Swedish and Scottish descent.

[@Dream-bw8sv]

he's very intellectual, I would love to pick at his brain

[@rockys201]

You've got the body, he's got the brain!

[@richhomiekdweezy3237]

My moms was around 7 -17 years old when Freddy was poppin in the 80s and the 90s my moms loved Freddy Krueger as growing up I’m 18 turning 19 it’s great to watch this

[@DarthRushy]

0:42 That time when the great Robert Englund mentions your country that nobody ever ever mentions.

[@christinebrett4825]

Most frightening film ever! brilliant actor

[@richhenretty67]

He’s a legend along with Hodder and gunner. The first nightmare film I seen as a child was new nightmare and it was and is my favorite. I have had the mask from back then till now and it’s sitting outside bothering my non horror neighbors and I love it lol I’d love to meet him and have all my Freddy appeal signed. No one will even replace this man as anyone, period.

[@richhenretty67]

I can’t forget castle as the original Michael Myers either!

[@TITANSMRS]

Robert you ROCK I LOVE FREDDY Have done since I was only a child LOVE FREDDY

[@bluethunder6801]

Fantastic guy and actor love to meet him. Mr krueger Rob Englund

[@jhadude1]

This guy is such a great actor. I'm 17 and still scared to death of his old elm street movies. It's crazy how he can be so evil and scary in a movie and be so cool in real life.

[@satchfan2010]

Dream Warriors is the best one, in my opinion.

[@DwanGarcez]

But I got really upset that they killed Nancy.

[@FedorovAvtomat]

Best soundtrack too. Nothing beats Dokken.

[@enjoythyhorror]

A Nightmare On Elm Street 1984 is the masterpiece that Dream Warriors can’t compete with.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare is my favourite, just so dark but it's lacking a little bit too much of the wacky =P Wicked guy.

Remember him way back when he also stared in "V".

Such a great guy :)

[@user-pf7qg9lc6p]

Freddy is my all times favorite horror character and i love that nasty bastard, maybe i am some pervert who love it, Nightmare on Elm street is pure cult classic, my favorite part is, part II Freddy's revenge, because it's so old school, i guess the first is best but my favorite is part II, i like part II soundtrack a lot, this video guy is only and true Freddy Krueger, noone can't replace this guy, Robert Englund is most comfortable man, i like this man!

[@joelaine828]

legend!

[@papabear_cdxl4699]

1st movie is my favourite by far, even by today's standards it's bloody scary 🙂

[@DjGaza18]

I like how they made the new Freddy more darker just like they made the new Jason run, which is pretty dark because seeing jason run was pretty scary considering he never did it in the original series

[@Nicene325ad]

Actually, he did run in part 3.

[@Cryten1974]

I'd have to disagree with you there, not because he ran in part 3, but also because the fact he just stalked you and you had no idea when or where he'd pop up (another gripe with the new Jason for me was the tunnels to explain how he moved about without being seen, it ruins the supernatural edge of the movie)

[@christianblade2052]

Nicene325ad And part 4.

[@zombieman2122]

He ran in part two as well lol, never understand why people always did the "Jason never runs" when he has in at least three of the movies.

[@emilwestgaardhenriksen1715]

I can't understand why people even like the new ones (both freddy and jason) I wasn't aroud for tge first filmd but I love them none the less. The new ones are abominations made for 21st century teenagers who doesn't appreciate movies that actually are well done... Englunds and Hoddards original characters are the only ones. The new ones are wannabes and ain't even in the same leauge. No disrespect against the actors themselves buh takinb of the monumetal roles as they did they are bound to fail. It would be as if peter jackson where to remake lord of the rinngs in 20 years or so with diffrent actors for the fellowship. It doesn't just work with those who really love the originals and know why they do it.

[@marcelo78]

We're waiting for Mr. Englund in Japan on May, 2013!

Actor Robert Englund is a genius. I really hope, now what with the release and success of the recent Halloween 2018, that a filmmaker takes interest, does, and proposes to Robert and Heather Langenkamp to reprise Freddy Krueger and Nancy Thompson in a new A Nightmare On Elm Street, a sequel to the original series or a new Part 2. May this happen as soon as possible!
