n Saturday May 13th, 2023, I had a chance to see a very special screening of the new documentary by Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings UK LTD, Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares : The Robert Englund Story with Robert doing a Q&A after. Robert Englund is of course known as the nightmare inducing Freddy Krueger, the knife gloved, dirty red and green stripped sweater wearing burnt child killer, but the wonderful thing this documentary shows is how Robert is so much more than just Freddy. It covers his early life and background in theater as well as his television work such as in the massive hit V and many other rolls across genres.
The documentary is more than your normal documentary. It is a celebration of Robert and his impact on pop culture, and reveals some awesome info about Englund that many may not know about. It is fast paced and full of archival footage and fun animated cut scenes that help narrate the story. It features a who’s who of fellow horror legends and directors who are friends and colleagues of the legendary Englund, as well as Englund and his wife telling anecdotes about Robert. The directors Gary Smart and Chris Griffiths, who were behind documentaries such as You’re So Cool Brewster The Story of Fright Night and Pennywise the Story of It, do a terrific job covering the brilliant and elaborate career of Robert Englund. You get to hear all about the horror icon, from his start in acting, to being a sensation as Freddy Krueger and how his love of theater and movies have led to such an amazing life that has given generations of people hours of entertainment and nightmares.
So be sure to check it out when it premieres on Screambox on June 6th, 2023, which just happens to be Robert’s 76th birthday. In the words of Freddy, “Welcome to primetime bitch!”
