He became even more Legendary is what happened to him.
If you want a great Robert Englund skit, check out the Mad TV skit where he was attacked by the Ghostface Killer. Everyone, including Ghostface, only recognizes him as "the guy from V."
I was actually remember that skit and was going to comment on it too. I love that he was going after Debra Wilson, and he's mad that nobody recognizes him as Freddy 😆
@Bootz If I remember correctly, wasn't it a game show parody sketch? I remember being happy af to see Robert on Mad TV...I can't recall if he was promoting a movie then or not. It was a Halloween show, so maybe not, F v J was awhile later I think...
Robert is the GOAT.
It was an absolute surprise and joy to see him in Stranger Things 4
I don’t know what is but there’s something about Robert’s voice that sounds youthful no matter how old he gets that I absolutely love
Robert Englund is really fun to work with. When I supervised the makeup effects for Freddy’s Dead (for John Buechler) I got to make a dummy of Freddy to blow up, and when Freddy got injured during the end sequence I got to glue a couple of appliances to Englund. He’s exceptional to work with, a genius.
That's amazing. Buechler was the man
I still use the toast from Ford Fairlane. I really need to watch Phantom of the Opera again I don't remember anything about that film. I got grounded because I told my mom I was going to see some other film and went to go see Freddy part 6 and she found my 3D glasses.
Robert is a true genius and a gentleman. They don't make em like him anymore. "bring me another round, bitch!" Hopefully from the next Freddy script!!
Robert Englund = Living Legend
"What happened to this horror celeb?" - He beat the matrix in a christmas sweater
I love Wes Craven’s new nightmare
I met him a couple years ago at comic con in Seattle. I was freaking out in line so bad. He kept shouting catch phrases from his movies every so often, getting huge laughs. I could barely speak to him, and I was sweating hard. I got him to sign a 2001 maniacs picture for me. Figured that be more unique since everyone wanted a Freddy pic. Plus I saw 2001 the night before. I was raised on Nightmare, and I always buy any movie I come across that He's been in or involved in. I love and own 976 evil, and the mangler. I own the movie: the Moleman of Belmont Avenue because I happened to see his fave on the cover...and it's a great title.I'm gonna get the glove as a tattoo, along with the lament configuration and Jason's mask. I have 3 Freddy plushies in my car. And for my birthday one year, my best friend got me a Freddy life-sized cutout. Oddly, thanks to Freddy, me and my father call each other butch, out of affection. I love the man, and all he does and who he is. Sweet guy who makes awesome movies, and is just super nice and willing to talk....and you were right. He will talk your ear off. And I am always down to listen. Thank you so much for this video! And the thank you Mr. Englund for being a huge part of my life!
Ive been a lifelong fan of Robert Englund and Nightmare on Elm Street. Robert was in an obscure movie called Killer Tongue. Its from late 90's I believe, but its a silly corny movie but entertaining as hell mostly because of Robert who plays a hard ass prison guard. I would recommend you check it out. As I said, its very cheesy and a B movie but Robert is great in it.
@kennethmccullah4905 thanks so much! Looking it up right now, and that looks amazing. Have you seen the Mangler? Came out a year before Killer Tongue. Got Robert in Old old man make up, and it's about a killer laundry press. Ted Levine is the main character. Great movie and great time all around. He was also in Jack Brooks Monster Hunter, which has kind of the same kinda feel to it.
@@bootz8775 yep. I love The Mangler. I don't know why it got so much hate? I really do love B movies though so my expectations are usually low haha, but I thought The Mangler was a really decent movie. You should get a kick out of Roberts performance in Killer Tongue. He makes that movie in my opinion. It also stars Mindy Clarke from Return of the Living Dead 3, whom I had a huge crush on in my teens. Silly and dumb but a fun movie.
@kennethmccullah4905 I saw Return 3 when I was a kid too. Also thought she was beautiful. Thought her sticking metal in herself was like a different kind of piercing or something lol. I don't think people really understand B movies. That ya, they are crap in some areas, but overall it's just meant to be an entertaining fun time. Not looked at for nuance or a serious message or anything. Like when you take the Mangler, no one should take that seriously, just enjoy the fact that a industrial laundry compress just got up and is chasing Buffalo Bill cuz it's evil. Have you seen 1001 Maniacs? Him and Lynn Shay are in that. Sooooo weird. And I got his autograph from that movie too.i buy movies when I just see that he's in it
@@bootz8775 yeah I love 2001 Maniacs. Thats one I enjoy too. I also really enjoyed Robert in Strangland as well. I think that one is underrated too. I only wish he would have had a bit more scenes in Strangland.
I'm a hardcore Fredhead, obsessed to an unhealthy point maybe. I also love how expansive Robert Englund's filmography is, how many legends he's worked with, & that he love making films all over the world. Perhaps my favorite thing about Robert as an actor, is how he came to love & respect the horror genre, after he admittedly was a classically trained Shakespearian actor. This was accredited (by Robert) to Wes Craven. Robert has said he's forever grateful to Wes for that gift. It's why he never became cynical about being associated w/Freddy Krueger, & truly loves his fans...because he IS a FAN himself, of the genre he's given so much.
It's funny how people idolise fantasy serial killers
Can we just stop to appreciate the technology exists where someone can interview Freddy Krueger over a Zoom call and we get to enjoy it
🤘😎
My old friend's mother used to live next door to him. She was friends with his daughter when they were kids.
FvJ was not released in 2001...It was 2003.
Robert is just the man of horror! Brilliant , a legend , & he so appreciates his fans as we do him! He is so sweet & polite & very engaging! Love how he gives people time to talk. That is him & not fame & Hollywood. Their wouldn't be horror without Robert!
I love dead and buried, shit gets really crazy in potters bluff.
Love you Robert. You are a household name.
I was lucky enough to get a glove signed by him and a cool pic of him slicing my throat with his glove. He was definitely tired from signing all day but a phenomenal guy, every fan needs to meet him.
His most recent outing is in an episode of Stranger Things: S4-V1....
yyyyeeeerrrrr.
Had the pleasure of meeting him during a comic con type event. Got a great pic of him and I where he's using the glove to kill me. For the brief moment we got to talk, he's pretty friendly.
As an actor, he's of course fantastic. Love that he's been getting into voice acting. He was in one of the animated batman shows as riddler.
I've always wondered why Wes Craven never made the prequel b4 Freddy became the dream demon we all know? He was the"Springwood slasher"b4 he was transformed, that story should have been told🤨......instead of that 2010 remake MESS🤢🤮!!
I have loved Robert since he played Willie in V. Everyone has a favorite and Freddy will always be mine. Even watched Roberts side cheese movies. Good times.
I instantly recognized his voice and his profile when he popped up in ST 4. Such a legend.
You missed one of his best films... Never too young to die
I'll be meeting Robert in August. Can't wait! Thank you, Jessica. That was an excellent interview and retrospective on a true living legend.
Omg in so jealous! He is just a brilliant man & actor! 1 of the best in our horror genre! Have a blast & so happy for you.
He's a joy.
@@Passion_4_Fashion-p4t Thanks! I definitely will.
@@StuntMan_Marq you bet!
I first saw the actor as a cult follower tormenting Billy Tate on SOAP.
Freddy Vs Jason came out in 2003 not 2001...great video btw! Love Nightmare On Elm Street
A living legend!
Also, Nightmare Cafe was a great show! Still have the entire series recorded on vhs, even though my vcr passed away many years ago lol
For such a sinister villain, he looks kind and good-natured without all the Freddy makeup. He seems to always be smiling.
Thank you for this! That was a beautiful documentation of a great actor!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I use to hate taking out the trash by myself just because of what thinking of this guy made me believe would happen lol dont get much better as far as actually embodying a character he was/is terrifying!!! And the effortlessness of the character what what intensified the horror because you believed wholeheartedly that Freddy enjoyed that ish lmao
I was always scared being home alone after watching freddy movie the day or night before 😆
@@n.b.l.5709 even without the makeup Robert Englund is a scary guy 🤣🤷♂️
@@bradleydahlgren6632 Damm lol nah he's not ugly
Robert Englund would have been a great Iago
Great interview. Love getting to listen to his stories. 🙏
Can't wait seeing him in 10 days as Freddy Krueger makeup
I wish we would've gotten at least 1 more Freddy movie with Robert. My favorite horror movie character & it's not even close..
How sweet... fresh meat. 😍👍
tbh I think A New Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason were great enough to close on.
I used to get made fun of in highschool for loving Freddy. Now I’m watching a 1.5 hour long video on him declaring he’s loved my millions
this is excellent! thank you! and you're right i need to get caught up on stranger things! how did you know?!? LOL
but seriously this is so cool! dream come true kind of stuff! how exciting!
I fondly remember him randomly showing up on supernatural and criminal minds
What a huge legendary actor , that I loved as a kid , and still appreciate and love today . Thank you for the memories
For anyone that wants to know. The song playing in the background is Erik Satie's - Gnossienne No.1.
Freddy Vs Jason was 2003 not 2001.
Thanks a lot, very good interview! If I understood right, this was recorded in 2020?
Greetings from Germany :)
Yes, it had only been seen by attendees of the virtual HorrorHound convention that year so I finally got to share it with everyone! Glad you enjoyed it, he's a joy to speak with.
YO ROBERT please come back and do one last nightmare!
My favorite character he played was Willie
I wish I could like this video twice. Such a great job for mine, and many others, favorite horror icon. You rock!!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you kindly. I love Robert and have for most of my life. This was a biggie for me.
@@JoBloHorrorOriginals
will Robert come back to The Nightmare Cafe and are there any future projects in the works ?
I don’t have the ability to go to horror conventions to meet him.
So I badly wanted to get a cameo from him but he charges way too much.
Freddy Vs Jason was 2003. Not 2001.
I remember when I became interested in horror as a kid. When my mom took me to Blockbuster as a kid and I saw the VHS covers of Elm Street and Night of the Demons...
Id love to see him as Freddy one last time
Thank you so much for this video! As someone who grew up watching his films and TV shows I love hearing him tell stories and he seems like a genuinely great guy!
Amazing video for an a true talent that's been in the movies of my lifetime with that brilliant interview i must say thank you. Also can I say your very good interviewer interesting questions and you listened with cutting me englund off true professional
Glad you enjoyed it
Do you not think titling a series WTF happened is a tad disrespectful? I mean Robert Englund is iconic. He didn't just fizzle away. Nothing happened to him apart from him living his dream life. The same goes with the rest of the WTF's
Did anybody catch the fact when he was telling her about the real people in the sewers in New York living down there and tapping into the electric that she turns around and says oh "that must be beautiful" . Beautiful wear!? Living in the sewer and trying to figure out what you're going to eat that day if you can eat that day worrying if you're going to wake up the next morning freezing during the winter. Oh yeah that must be very beautiful 🙄 I don't think she was even paying attention when he was talking. Anyway, my 💕 for people who are out there struggling. Keep your head up. Things will get better, just takes time. I'll keep you in my prayers 🙏.💖👍🏽💗🥰
Typically I will find talkers really hard to be friends with But boy I don't have any problem listening Robert. Thank you so much for this interview.
Love ya Robert Englund, I n III are my favorite noes. Yes! Sputnik was good. Wonder if he's seen Terrifier, p.s. the sadness is good as well
I was an actor, My entire life. Didnt Know till now. DO GOOD THINGS PEOPLE
Robert Englund made Freddy krueger into the best horror villain In history Also his roles on V married with children walker texas ranger wish master he can do it all I meet him at monster mania last year such a nice guy and a legend 👏 👍 💙
I has no ideas girls liked horror movies
Nice to meet you :) LOL I've loved them since I was 4
@@JessicaDwyer amazing! Do you watch even the violence?
WTF happened to the continuous misuse of the abbreviation WTF?
Yup
He’s a great actor. He really brought what could have been an incredibly hokey character to life, and made it his own.
@Inside Barry's Mind I’m older than most of the people here, probably. Lol He was pretty hokey from the beginning. But it’s a fun character, nonetheless. When I was about four, I had a dream where I fought Freddie with a light saber. So, even at that age, the nightmares he gave kids were less than serious.
The entire series, in terms of the kills and Freddie’s attitude overall, had a silly over-the-top feel to them. It wasn’t like watching the Exorcist. It fit in perfect with the 80s’ gratuitous and slap stick vibe.
Im not sure if you were aware but freddys original actor was alot more of the boring serious old man and you can even see it without any test screenings, just in the models they scrapped. So yeah we did get lucky with the original actor backing out and an unexpected yet fucking insanely emotive robert englund took the role
I love robert, he's so smart and talented. Everything he says and does is gold, to me. His acting is amazing and I love how he isn't picky on what he does work wise, he doesn't act stuck up in anyway. He just wants to work! His stories are amazing, the things he has seen and done. Amazing
It was kinda like copycat because the killer was copying urban legends
Wow I didn't know Robert was involved in so many things great video very well put together
He is truly awesome and a great storyteller. Both times I got to meet him, I was pulled into the conversation when he was talking to the person in front of me in line lol. I will never forget those moments, and you can tell he genuinely loves the fans!
And he's a dead ringer (no pun intended) for Layne Staley, the lead Singer from Alice in Chains.
Check out Robert in the married with children episode damned bundy for a good laugh
Nightmare Cafe was a very popular series back in the day it deserves to return .
The Cafe is like some kind of judgement system in it's own way who deserves to have their wish granted or worst nightmare come true for the rest of life .
but how did this place come to be and what did happen with those two given a second chance at life working in the Cafe ?
well if anyone remembers the television series will understand reasons for why this will happen what the intentions of this Cafe is all about and how come two were chosen to work there .
You left out the great paper brigade.... His role as the ornery neighbor veteran is unparalleled
Didn’t Robert put on the Freddy gear to host an unaired TV game show?
I'm a huge Star Wars fan and did not know he read for Han and Luke and was friends with Mark Hamill!! Awesome!!
Freddy and Luke skywalker r buds 😆 love to see them in character n costumed like bad roommates 😆 the odd couple
@@n.b.l.5709 I'd love that!! 😂😂
I've had a crush on him for years and I keep a picture of him in my foyer ☺️
That’s funny I even told him that on Facebook
I don't remember seeing the show V , but I remember nightmares about it.
He's such a shining becon of light...✨️ So incredibly entertaining to listen to...👌🏼 What an amazing story teller he is...💯✔️
Love jo blo can’t stand this voice with the lisp
:( am I alone in this ?
What happened to bleeping out the f-word?
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Hey Mr Robert Englund you’re cool
Robert is a true icon of horror
Thank you joblo this could be your best video yet I love the longer vids
Noted! Glad you enjoyed it.
Ah man, no paper brigade?!
I. Love nightmare 2
This is just so damn good!!
Seeing him in Stranger Things made me glee😁
Holy shit I am 18 min in and just realized it's over am hour
Bring Me Another Round Bitch lmao R.E DA G.O.A.T - 1:17:11
I love the way you summarize everyone's careers in these videos. To many times have I tried to describe my idols to people. But with these I can just show people with one video. I would love if you continued to do more fx artist and George Romero.
Thanks! 👋🏽❤️👍🏽
Thank you so much!
I saw him in stranger things season 4 as victor creel
Hopefully I get to meet Robert one day. I've been a lifelong fan of his and saw him first as Freddy when I was a kid. I would like to ask him anything about an odd an obscure film he was in in the late 90's called Killer Tongue. Its goofy and cheesy as hell, I personally like low budget B movies and Killer Tongue definitely qualifies as one of those. In that movie Robert plays a mean and hard ass prison guard but he is hilarious in it. He always gets Freddy questions so I would love to ask him anything about Killer Tongue.
How do I get a job working for JoBlo Horror? There’s nothing I’d love to do more than to make in depth videos about great, classic, campy, bloody, fun horror movies and get a chance to interview my fav legendary horror icon actors! Give me a job please! ❤
I have met Robert Englund twice so far. He is such a nice guy. He even had to borrow my Freddy Krueger glove during the first day of a convention for his Photo Op sessions.
David Warner being considered for the role of Freddy is a long standing myth. Craven and Warner himself have both stated no such conversation took place.
Just love how open and giving Robert is as an interviewee. Fascinating stuff.
Are you related to the watch MOJO lady you 2 sound very similar
great video, robert englund is the master of horror, he is an extraordinary actor.
