The 2018 role Robert Englund called his “moment of surrender”If there were a horror movie monster hall of fame, then Freddy Krueger would have a room completely to himself. “My pairing with Freddy Krueger will follow me to my grave,” he told Revolver in 2019, “I made peace with that a long time ago”. This is what led to Englund taking a guest spot on ABC’s sitcom The Goldbergs. As it stands, ‘Mister Knifey-Hands’ marks the most recent time Englund has played Freddy. He might have overshadowed the rest of his illustrious career, but Freddy Krueger is not a bad legacy by any stretch.
