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.

More quotes by Robert Englund
I was quite a snob when I was a theatre actor earlier in my career.
Robert Englund
I'm a pretty psycho-obsessed shrink.
Robert Englund
I love new questions.
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.
Robert Englund
I liked girls with pale skin because I am a California boy, tanned and blonde hair.
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.
Robert Englund
Kids today don't watch a black and white movie.
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 know there really is someone out there for everyone.
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
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
I do genre films because I like them, or because I need the money.
Robert Englund
Many great horror stories are period pieces and English actors have a facility for historic characters.
Robert Englund
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
When you're an actor and you can set your arm on fire, you feel kind of magical.
Robert Englund
I love the fans, and I respect the fans, and I want them to go out and support movies.
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 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
Yeah, snakes. They're my fear factor.
