ROBERT ENGLUND WANTS A PREQUEL TO NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
“I’ve always thought that [not having a prequel] is a misruling in the mythology of A Nightmare on Elm Street,” Englund told the crowd at the recent Monster Mania convention in Hunt Valley, Maryland. “It got close to being rectified with Tobe Hooper’s pilot for the TV series, and there was a script that was supposedly to be directed by John McNaughton, who did Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. There was a prequel script… I think it was called Krueger: The First Kills. And it was… the last children being killed… the two detectives that found Freddy and busted him… then the body of the film were the ambulance-chasing, sleazy lawyers that get Freddy off.”
He continued, “The lawyers are actually the best parts [of that script]. There’s two of them. Freddy in court… Freddy at the table… Freddy on the witness stand… Freddy in jail. But it’s about the lawyers getting him off. They get him off and Freddy gloats too much on the courtroom stairs. The end of the movie is Freddy being burned alive. I’ve had a fascination with these projects since I did the pilot with Tobe Hooper.”
Robert Englund checked in on Twitter concerning BLACK MIRROR 4.. he liked it..
FREDDY tweeted that the season is must see.. he loved METALHEAD–which incidentally is the HORROR REPORT pick as the most tense of the entire season..
While some have been extremely critical of the season for being so different from the previous three, any observer who enjoys good entertainment and loves to be scared to death of future technological advancements and how they can utterly destroy humanity, will acknowledge that the show continues to be cutting edge entertainment science fiction. The modern TWILIGHT ZONE of our era..
The HORROR REPORT plans on showcasing further thoughts on BLACK MIRROR season 4 after a second viewing of each show — only with contemplation of the season could a true review be conducted.
He had to cancel a Wizard World convention in Des Moines after breaking a foot through his ‘clumsy’ act in his home..
Robert Englund, 69, looks to be recovering well from his accident, smiling while hobbling along using a walking stick at Los Angeles Airport on Thursday.
Tweeting about his injury on May 18, the actor wrote: ‘Nightmare at my house!! Freddy vs clumsy me! Broke my foot. Sorry I’ll miss my fans.’
The headline making part was when the glove came up..
“The original glove was given to me by Wes for pickup shots on Nightmare 2. In a little MTV stage on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood, and I went to work, and there was this huge rumor, from you guys [points to moderator Tony Timpone] about industrial espionage because they were the weather vein of popular culture, they knew that this franchise had become even more iconic than we realized. Guys pretended to be crew members on the pickup shot day, in this little studio on Santa Monica Blvd, and they wore tool belts and everything, they were there to get the glove. And we heard about this, Kevin Yager told me this. So, I stole the real glove; I just took it. I didn’t know it came from Wes, I know it now, but I stole it that day. There were like a couple of doubles, but I stole the original glove. I’m busy being Willie from V and going to film festivals, in Paris and getting awards for Science Fiction shows and so I stuffed it, and I outlined it in red and green neon, and I floated it in a plexiglass box, and I gave it to my agent. He won’t give it back!”
There is plenty more than that to watch.. you can see it all here and it’s worth the viewing:
