Robert Englund will be appearing as Freddy Krueger for only one episode of The Goldbergs, specifically the Halloween episode that premieres this Wednesday, titled Mister Knifey-Hands.
The last time Englund played Freddy on screen was in 2005’s A Nightmare on Elm Street: Real Nightmares, which was essentially a game show hosted by Freddy Krueger.
This promotional clip from ABC shows us that The Goldbergs perfectly managed to blend the wicked dynamics of Freddy Krueger with the comedic hilarity of their show.
Promoting this exciting cameo, the Goldbergs Twitter page has released a clip from tomorrow’s episode, featuring Beverly Goldberg encountering Freddy Krueger in her dream.
