Geekscape 664: Talking All Things Robert Englund!

from Geekscape Hosted by Geekscape

We all know Robert Englund as the man who brought Freddie Krueger to life in the Nightmare On Elm Street series! But how did he get there? And how did it change him? What are the Robert Englund stories that have nothing to do with the monster who lives in our nightmares? Documentarians Gary Smart and Chris Griffiths guest on Geekscape to talk about their brand new documentary 'Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story'. Along the way we talk about Englund's early career, his overlooked character work and struggles, an amazing Mark Hamill story that may or may not be true, Kenny Johnson's 'V', and how Freddie Krueger changed his life (and ours)!
