While he’s certain he’ll never play the role again, Robert Englund still has some ideas on where Freddy Krueger could go in the next film – if and when there is another instalment of the once-unremitting “Nightmare on Elm Street” series.
“I thought it would be great if the children of previous victims, or just kids who grew up hearing stories about Freddy Krueger, were each haunted by their own version of Freddy Krueger”, the thesp tells Florida Today. “Kids who grew up hearing stories about this Freddy Krueger guy and the awful things he did envisioned him in their own way, and that is the version that begins to haunt them.
Some people may picture him as stout, another might envision him as tall & thin, another with a different hat, or a different sweater. He could have different gloves, or even a glove with small razor blades as referred to in the first movie. It would be neat to see very different interpretations of Freddy Krueger based on the child’s vision of who or what Freddy was to them. After all, each person’s subconscious would picture him in a totally different way.”
The last “Elm Street” film, released in 2010, was the ill-fated remake starring Jackie Earle Haley in Englund’s old role.
