Englund’s A Nightmare on Elm Street co-star Heather Langenkamp took to the podium to praise the actor as she spoke to PEOPLE magazine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey did a lot of months of preparing the special effects makeup that he would wear,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Langenkamp continued, \u201cThey had many weeks of preparing a costume that would bring forth that incredible silhouette of Freddy Krueger that we all know so well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when I look at this five-pointed star in front of me with Robert’s name on it, I think of the five fingers of that oily, dirty glove that he wore on his right hand,\u201d the actress further said.<\/p>\n
She also praised Englund\u2019s portrayal of Kreuger, calling his voice \u201cgravelly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was sneering. There was a little spittle involved. It was incredibly just… it stuck your teeth on edge. The minute Robert took on Freddy’s voice, and he married that demented sneer with this wonderful portrayal of the most evil character you can think of,\u201d Heather Langenkamp concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Englund horror star receives Hollywood Walk of Fame star Robert Englund is a Hollywood legend!
