I hate these actresses-pretending-to-be-lesbians movies. To me, that's just as prurient as a bad violent movie.
Robert Englund
Image
I do genre films because I like them, or because I need the money.
Robert Englund
Image
I love fire. Fire is hypnotic.
Robert Englund
Image
It's hard for young people to understand when you tell them how great relationships are.
Robert Englund
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But there is always a time and a place for the subsets within genres.

I'm at that stage in my career, especially now where I go where I am wanted.

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.

Image
I don't choose roles. I go where I'm wanted.
Robert Englund
Image
But it's mostly about pacing yourself when you do these movies.
Robert Englund
Image
Everybody underestimated the universality of the concept of a nightmare or a bad dream.
Robert Englund
Image
I know there really is someone out there for everyone.
Robert Englund
Image
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.

Many great horror stories are period pieces and English actors have a facility for historic characters.
Robert Englund
Image
I'd like to see a slasher movie set in the depression.

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.
