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.

I love fire. Fire is hypnotic.
Robert Englund
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.
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
That's the thing with independent cinema: They all get good reviews, and they don't make money. Some of them are good. Some are great. And some are terrible.
Robert Englund
I'd like to see a slasher movie set in the depression.
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'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
I know actors that were on great television shows that got cancelled and they have never done anything that good since.
Robert Englund
I'm a pretty psycho-obsessed shrink.
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
I am constantly seeing new horror that I like.
Robert Englund
Many great horror stories are period pieces and English actors have a facility for historic characters.
Robert Englund
I don't choose roles. I go where I'm wanted.
Robert Englund
I was quite a snob when I was a theatre actor earlier in my career.
Robert Englund
Whats great about Freddy in this is when he gets to comment and manipulate the back stories and the fears of the characters - especially with Jason.
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
A lot of guys like to go to the beach and bring a crowd, but not me. I like to be alone and out there with a couple of pelicans.
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 would like to see the technology used to explore more period horror genre works, for example, E. A. Poe.
