Image via New Line Cinema The horror genre has its legends, and I will find hardly any resistance when I say A Nightmare on Elm Street’s child-killer Freddy Krueger, who redefined what feeling chilled to your bones truly means, leads this particular faction. A big chunk of the villain’s fame is courtesy of how well Robert Englund played him across eight films and one TV series. Sadly, not only does the actor not consider himself an “icon” for making the terrifying serial killer a cinematic legend, but his…

The horror genre should be no stranger to crossovers. Although Freddy vs Jason wasn’t the most groundbreaking feature ever made, it has cemented itself as a cult classic in recent years. That being said, there’s no reason as to why horror directors can’t branch out and introduce characters from other universes. But that prospect begs the question, “how would different characters fare against each other?” Well, horror fanatics were eager to discuss such a fascinating match-up in It‘s Losers Club and A Nightmare on Elm…

Robert Englund is probably pacing the floor after learning what a fan has suggested as his replacement for Freddy Krueger. The first thing is that Englund isn’t even dead yet, but Matthew Lillard‘s name was thrown out there, and the discussion is heating up. Lillard is mainly known for comedies and has played the likable character for the most part, even when he cheated on Beth in Good Girls and plotted against her. However, Shaggy, a Scooby-Doo reference, isn’t all about the comedy. He has also been in horror movies…
