Horror legend Robert Englund recently had
a lengthy finger knives chat with PlayBoy
where he covered lots of interesting ground. Here is an excerpt of him addressing
a "maybe" return to Elm Street.
"The next Freddy movie might be on the back
burner, but there is talk of a documentary-style prequel of Elm Street. I would
play myself, and first you’d see the crimes against the children, the cops
solve the case, Freddy gets caught. Then the cool part is the shyster lawyers
get him off and, of course, the parents and PTA burn him alive.
All the alcoholic, valium-popping soccer moms burn
Freddy alive while masturbating. I don’t know—whatever the hell they’ve
got in mind. I wouldn’t mind dying my hair red and doing a prequel, getting
down and dirty about who this Fred Krueger was before he became a crispy
critter."
Personally, I hope this prequel idea DOESN’T happen. I already know
more than enough about Freddy’s roots via what the series has disclosed thus far
(Part 1-3-5 and specially 6 were all about that stuff). I don’t need the story
regurgitated to me again. I’d take another Freddy VS Somebody instead.
But that’s just me! Read up on more Englund bla-bla HERE.
Freddy Krueger should fight this guy
next! PLACE YOUR BETS!
