#Robert Englund Still Has Nightmares About The Original Nightmare On Elm Street

“Robert Englund Still Has Nightmares About The Original Nightmare On Elm Street”

While being interviewed by The Guardian, Englund spoke about a little cat nap in the Freddy makeup that gave him a rude awakening he’ll never forget:

“I had a little tiny honeywagon about the size of a urinal, with a Formica table, a plastic chair and a mirror with lightbulbs around it — the classic backstage makeup room. The lights were on a dimmer. I had them turned down low when I was taking a nap at about 4am, with my head resting on a tightly rolled towel so I wouldn’t smear my makeup. I was waiting to be called on set and heard this banging on the door. As I sat up, I saw this disfigured face looking back at me in the mirror. The shock made me jump out of my skin. I brought my hand up and I realized: ‘Oh my God, it’s my own reflection!’ But it was such a startling moment that it still inhabits a variety of nightmares.”

Haven’t we all been there before? Maybe not with Robert Kurtzman’s incredible prosthetics, but looking in the mirror to see your reflection can be a nightmare in itself. It can feel impossible after a long day to do all the things you need to do before falling into bed — wash your face, turn off all the lights, etc. Sometimes I just need to rest, so everything that I have on is just coming with me. 

It would appear that Englund found himself in a similar situation while filming the original “Nightmare on Elm Street.” The cramped quarters probably made it even more disorienting — the horror star hadn’t a big enough icon to merit a decent sized dressing room.
