More quotes by Robert Englund
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.

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.

Who would know that by playing a nerdy alien and a child killer, I would have a 30-year career in Hollywood? I've outlasted so many people.

I may be a B-movie star, but I work. I'm an actor.

Arguably, the Venice Film Festival is the second best film festival in the world, after Cannes.
Robert Englund
I hate these actresses-pretending-to-be-lesbians movies. To me, that's just as prurient as a bad violent movie.
Robert Englund
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.
Robert Englund
Kids today don't watch a black and white movie.
Robert Englund
I think I am a little too old now.
Robert Englund
I'm a pretty psycho-obsessed shrink.
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 love fire. Fire is hypnotic.

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.
