Are You Ready for Freddy? ICON: THE ROBERT ENGLUND STORY Coming Soon

If you’ve seen the definitive Nightmare on Elm Street documentary Never Sleep Again, you’re well-versed in Robert Englund’s history with the franchise. But how much do you know about the Freddy Krueger actor’s entire career? Soon, you’ll be able to say you’re well-versed in his entire history and legacy as well.

From Cult Screenings, the folks who brought us the Fright Night documentary (You’re So Cool Brewster) and the upcoming RoboCop documentary (RoboDoc), Icon: The Robert Englund Story is coming soon.

“If anyone deserves this sort of recognition, then it’s Robert Englund,” says writer, producer, and co-director Gary Smart. “He has been a mainstay of horror cinema for nearly 40-years and without question has risen to the ranks in horror alongside Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee. All of us at Cult Screenings are so excited to be celebrating this icon’s career.”

In addition to A Nightmare on Elm Street, Englund stars in Urban Legend, 2001 Maniacs, 976-EVIL, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Wishmaster, V, Dead and Buried, and Phantom of the Opera.
