One, two, Freddy\u2019s coming for you\u2026But which version? We all have our favorite Nightmare on Elm Street movies and kills, but for Robert Englund, his best performance as Freddy Krueger was in one that doesn\u2019t usually rank near the top.<\/p>\n
Asked by ComicBook.com<\/a> what he considered his all-time favorite take on Freddy Krueger, he went with the fourth installment, 1988\u2019s The Dream Master. \u201cI like my performance in Part 4, the Renny Harlin film. Renny left me alone and he understood that Freddy only exists in this dream landscape. This sort of a landscape of the mind, of the dream, of the nightmare. And so, he\u2019s not real. He\u2019s been conjured by the subconscious of whoever is having the nightmare, and so it can be a little stylized, you know?\u201d And now we can\u2019t get the roach motel scene out of our heads!<\/p>\n The most famous of horror franchise icons \u2013 Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger \u2013 have all evolved for good and bad, but Freddy was one that would be molded in the name of fan service. While Englund noted that Freddy was always a bit of a joker, he developed fully into the killing king of one-liners as the core series grew over 20 years<\/a>. \u201cWes included a lot of jokes in the original one, we kind of\u2026[pushed] the envelope too much by the time we got to part six, Freddy\u2019s Dead, but we were just embracing what the fans loved. And the fans loved Freddy\u2019s personality. They loved his cruelty. They loved his political incorrectness, and they loved his jokes. So we just exploited that.\u201d How\u2019s that for a wet dream?<\/p>\n
