Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Every Friday, we gather all of the latest additions to our JoBlo Horror YouTube channel (check it out and subscribe HERE) together in one place. It's the AITH HORROR VIDEOS OF THE WEEK!

This week we took a look at the collaborations of Tobe Hooper and Robert Englund with an episode of DEADLY DUOS, compiled a list of 10 ACTORS YOU DIDN'T KNOW WERE IN HORROR MOVIES, and took a trip to NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET filming locations for WHERE IT WAS MADE. All of these videos can be seen below.

ROBERT ENGLUND + TOBE HOOPER – Deadly Duos

Iconic horror director Tobe Hooper, the man behind such classics as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist (the OGs baby) often teamed up with genre Legend Robert Englund aka Freddy Krueger himself. Am talking; Eaten Alive (1976), the first episode of Freddy's Nightmares (No More Mr. Nice Guy) in 1988, Night Terrors (1993) and The Mangler (1995). We take an in depth look back at their blood drenched collaborations in our latest episode of Deadly Duos! Due to Copyright issues we couldn't address Hooper's Freddy's Nightmares episode in our show.

Deadly Duos is Arrow in the Head’s series dedicated to featuring the iconic pairings of filmmakers who have worked together multiple times in horror films. Actors and directors, producers and composers, no matter the role or the era, every episode is a journey through the most beloved and classic (as well as obscure and forgotten) pairings that have made for the most memorable films in horror history.

Here's 10 of the most interesting actors and actresses that rose up through the ranks with some "horrorific" beginnings.
