For instance, A Nightmare on Elm Street actor Robert Englund is joining Stranger Things in a guest actor capacity as Victor Creel, who is described as a disturbed man serving time in a psychiatric hospital after committing murder decades ago.
Stranger Things has made actors like Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour into household names, and some strong talent has joined Hawkins throughout the years.
Season 4 will continue this trend by welcoming a slew of newcomers, including both series regulars and guest stars.
Clearly his work as beloved horror villain Freddy Krueger will lend itself well to the role, and fans of the genre will be thrilled to see his inclusion.
