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.

More quotes by Robert Englund
I loved horror since I was a kid.
Robert Englund
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.
Robert Englund
Everybody underestimated the universality of the concept of a nightmare or a bad dream.
Robert Englund
You have to get your hands dirty. You've got to really deliver the goods, and when you do, you can get something really special.
Robert Englund
There's plenty of great stuff out there. I think it's just what we do is we all spend our allowance on the thing that we're told is going to be the big event, and sometimes the big event is disappointing.
Robert Englund
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.
Robert Englund
I liked girls with pale skin because I am a California boy, tanned and blonde hair.
Robert Englund
I'm kind of like a combination of a red herring and a fake-out.
Robert Englund
The cowboy movies is not our go-to programmer anymore, here's a horror film.
Robert Englund
But it's mostly about pacing yourself when you do these movies.
Robert Englund
With all the new technology, DVD's, Blu-Ray's, NetFlex, everyone has access to older movies. There is a new generation now of Freddy fans. Fathers that saw the movie originally, these guys are dads now, and they let their kids watch them.
Robert Englund
Horror has been very good to me in my career. Doing horror films is for the fans and helps keep that part of my career alive.
Robert Englund
In a great horror movie, you've gotta have some character development and you've gotta set some of your people up and you've gotta have a little back story going. You've gotta take that time for exposition.
Robert Englund
I'm a pretty psycho-obsessed shrink.
Robert Englund
American Horror Story on cable now, it is terrific. There has to be room to re-invent.
Robert Englund
I have friends that are much better actors than I am that had to quit the business because they couldn't survive the auditions or the rejections, or people just didn't realize how good they were.
Robert Englund
I've watched people who were better actors than me disappear, and they're selling insurance now.
Robert Englund
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.
Robert Englund
I get a lot of teenagers going, 'Yo, Krueger,' and honking their horn and giving me the claw. Yeah, I'm recognized.
Robert Englund
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.
