Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story plot
This documentary reveals the man behind Freddy Krueger's mask: Robert Englund. In 1984 he put on the gauntlet of knives for the first time and turned into a horror icon. But few realize England's true power as a character actor without the latex mask and the well-known red and green jersey. A classically trained actor, Englund has starred in well-received films in the years since Freddy's birth and also directed his own feature film. This portrayal, which features conversations with Englund and his colleagues and friends, answers the question: has playing an iconic movie character been a blessing or a curse for such a versatile and talented actor?
