Speaking of Freddy Krueger
Robert Englund has had an interesting post-Freddy career. Sometimes his job is just to stand around and look creepy. Like on the episode of Bones where Dr. Brennan attends a high school reunion, and Englund plays the school's janitor. If course, his face was familiar from Nightmare on Elm Street, so you were supposed to believe he was the killer, even though he was an obvious red herring.
What did I just think of...I think I read somewhere that the way Freddy stood in Nightmare, that sort of crooked posture, was Englund's idea. It might be true. Adrienne Corri (Vampire Circus) said in an interview that the reason she loves to do horror movies even though her agent doesn't want her to, is because actors in horror movies often are allowed to have this kind of creative input.
I like this quotation so much I will throw it in even though I'm sure you guys know it already: "You think I'm mad, don't you?...Perhaps we're both mad." --Boris Karloff in "The Terror."
