Monsterpalooza 2017: Robert Englund Talks Favorite Krueger Kill
As if there wasn’t enough stuff going on in every square inch of the Pasadena Convention Center during Monsterpalooza, our own Tony Timpone was busy conducting interviews with some of your favorite movie monsters, including one Robert Englund, who revealed his favorite kill during his tenure as the evil dream demon Freddy Krueger.
There’s a lot to choose from, but Englund’s favorite came during Freddy’s Dead, when he really went to town on the hearing impaired!
“It’s such a Cronenberg head explosion,” says Englund. “The guys loved doing that. But yeah, what I love is that it’s a real politically incorrect sequence, ya know. And I hate the fact… I know many, I don’t even know what the politically correct term is anymore… I don’t think it’s disabled anymore – special needs actors. Gosh, I work with actors that are in wheelchairs or have problems with their sight, and they don’t just want to play goody-goody people all the time. They don’t just have to be the good guy. Or the nice guy. Or the saint. Or the martyr. They want to be bad guys and villains as well. And I love the political incorrectness of that. Freddy’s an equal opportunity serial killer. He doesn’t care if you’ve got a hearing aid. He’ll get ya. That’s my favorite Freddy kill. Because of all the ramifications for it.”
