Robert Englund

Robert Englund, no stranger to us here at Rotting Flesh Radio, has been a guest a variety of times for us. He is best known as his role of Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and has a large cult following in other films as well.

Well just in time for television and Halloween Fun, Robert is going to play a homeless veteran of the first Gulf War and become a suspect is a murder as he ventures around an ancient burial ground. This is going to happen where else, in the most beautiful of places… Hawaii 5-0.

Robert has been known to have cameos in many television roles, movies and more and now his presence for horror fans around the world can be seen in the Halloween edition of the sleeper hit re-boot of Hawaii 5-0.

The show has gained in popularity and it this reboot has introduced a new generation to the cop duo in the show. Each week they banter, uncover crimes and more. While Robert, has been best known as Freddy Krueger, is in our friend John LaFlamboy’s MOLE MAN movie, had his last screen appearance as the clawed killer in Freddy vs. Jason. The franchise has since been re-booted without Robert donning the make-up. It didn’t hit too well with fans and that shows in the quick disappearance of the new face of Freddy.

Hawaii 5-0

Be sure to catch the new season of Hawaii 5-0 when it kicks off on September 19, 2011 on CBS. And be on the lookout for Freddy, playing an actor named Robert, or vice versa.
