Will he come in a striped sweater and bring his blade glove with him? As “Freddy Krueger,” Robert Englund has been terrifying film fans for decades. For this he is now being awarded a Hollywood star. The organizers thought something about the date.
Actor Robert Englund, best known for his iconic role as “Freddy Krueger” in the “Nightmare on Elm Street” series (German title: “Nightmare – Murderous Dreams”), will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony appropriately takes place on October 31st, Halloween. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced this on Instagram.
Englund, who portrayed Freddy Krueger in a total of eight of the horror films, will be supported at the event by actress Heather Langenkamp, who played Nancy Thompson in the original 1984 film, and director Eli Roth, according to media reports. The event will be broadcast live on various platforms so that fans worldwide can share in this special moment.
