I was quite a snob when I was a theatre actor earlier in my career.

We used to take girls to scary movies all the time, I don't know about you, but that was the place we would go for dates.

There's a depth to the nightmare, to the symbolism you can exploit, on an intellectual level, on a sexual level, on a primal, violent level, and I think all of those things together are just great. They're the spice and ingredients in the menu of the horror movie, and I think that's why we'll be around for a long time.

Sometimes we spend our money on something we think is gonna be great, and the titles shall remain nameless, but they're just a little disappointing.
Robert Englund
Image
I think that what's happened is that there's been a rediscovery of some good old-school films and a realization that there's always a place for them. We don't have to outgrow them with the new technology and we can do them with it and we can do them without it. We shouldn't always have the demands made on us to do it.

If you don't invest in the characters, you don't care if they get killed. It's more fun if you know them.

I'm basically a movie actor now, and my big roles are mostly horror movies - unless I'm doing a guest star or something - and occasionally I try to get back into television.

I have friends in New York that won't leave New York, and they're really talented people, but they'd rather take an acting class in New York than do a play in Florida or Boston. That's just weird to me, but they get into that I've-got-to-be-in-the-center-of-the-universe mentality. I'm not that way.

I'm an actor. Actors are supposed to act.

Image
It's hard for young people to understand when you tell them how great relationships are.
Robert Englund
Image
I don't rush out the first day to see every horror movie, but I do keep up on them, because I want to talk intelligently with the fans about them.

The cowboy movies is not our go-to programmer anymore, here's a horror film.
Robert Englund
Image
Horror movies travel pretty well anyway. They're like action movies: People overseas can watch them and enjoy them, and they're not so culturally specific in terms of their references, and they can follow a good scary story.

People forget that we are character actors and we can do other things.

When I was 9, I went to a birthday party. We were supposed to see a cowboy movie, but the programming got screwed up and we saw 'The Bad Seed' instead. Horrifying. For years I was frightened of girls with pigtails.

When you're an actor and you can set your arm on fire, you feel kind of magical.
Robert Englund
Image
I love the fans, and I respect the fans, and I want them to go out and support movies.

I'm at that stage in my career, especially now where I go where I am wanted.
Robert Englund
Image
I have some friends that just stick to the same criteria over and over again not realizing there are lots of other kinds of people and that may be what you like. People get in that mindset and put their blinders on.

I know sometimes when I go to a convention or a film festival occasionally people bring me really valuable and really rare memorabilia that I have never seen before.
