SAT . HORROR ICON ROBERT ENGLUND TO RECEIVE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME STAR THIS HALLOWEEN đ

Itâs finally happening â horror legend Robert Englund, the man who terrified generations as Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street, is getting his long-overdue recognition in Hollywood. The iconic actor will officially receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Halloween, October 31st, in a ceremony that couldnât be more perfectly timed.
Englund, now 77, has built a career spanning over five decades, but itâs his chilling portrayal of the burned, clawed dream-stalker Freddy Krueger that cemented his place in pop culture history. First appearing in Wes Cravenâs 1984 classic, Englund brought an unsettling charisma and dark humor to the role â turning Freddy into one of cinemaâs most recognizable (and feared) villains.
Throughout his career, Englund has remained a beloved figure in the horror community, celebrated not only for his work as Freddy but also for his appearances in cult favorites like Urban Legend, The Mangler, Stranger Things, and countless convention appearances where he continues to delight fans.
Fans and fellow horror stars are expected to gather in Los Angeles for the Halloween ceremony, which promises to be a spooky, star-studded celebration of the genre and one of its greatest ambassadors.
âFreddy may haunt your dreams,â Englund once said with a grin, âbut Hollywood is where Iâve been living all along.â
After decades of nightmares, itâs finally sweet dreams for Robert Englund â and a well-deserved star shining bright on Hollywood Boulevard. đđЏ
