More quotes by 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
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
People forget that we are character actors and we can do other things.
Robert Englund
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.
Robert Englund
I actually sing horribly, but I used to dance pretty good. I was a gymnast, and you can usually use those gymnastic tricks with dance. Plus, they're so much fun to do. That wasn't really a big part of my career. It was just a phase.

American Horror Story on cable now, it is terrific. There has to be room to re-invent.
Robert Englund
I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American.

There's a lot of dark horror, and a lot of sci-fi fantasy that's great, but what gets hyped a lot the big stuff. The most expensive stuff gets hyped a lot, and I love it, don't get me wrong, but there's things that fall through the cracks.
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
I get a lot of teenagers going, 'Yo, Krueger,' and honking their horn and giving me the claw. Yeah, I'm recognized.
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
When you see a guy flying into the air on fire, that's not me, obviously. I do all the water tricks, though.
Robert Englund
But it's mostly about pacing yourself when you do these movies.
Robert Englund
I loved horror since I was a kid.
Robert Englund
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.
Robert Englund
Many great horror stories are period pieces and English actors have a facility for historic characters.
Robert Englund
I'm not surfing every day, so I'm not in that good of a shape, and when I paddle, I might get caught in the impact zone and get my world rocked pretty good.
Robert Englund
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.
Robert Englund
I'd like to see a slasher movie set in the depression.
Robert Englund
I've watched people who were better actors than me disappear, and they're selling insurance now.
