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
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.

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
Kids today don't watch a black and white movie.
Robert Englund
I've watched people who were better actors than me disappear, and they're selling insurance now.
