Horror Happenings! – Stars forthcoming on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for both ROBERT ENGLUND and JOHN CARPENTER

Forty years of playing a crispy dream demon pays off, folks.

The fine folks at Fango reported yesterday that Robert Englund, the original Freddy Krueger himself, will soon be getting a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Englund has been a genre touchstone for nearly 50 years, with early roles in Tobe Hooper’s EATEN ALIVE (1976), GALAXY OF TERROR (1981), and the NBC miniseries “V” (1983) before becoming everyone’s favorite sleep stalker in Wes Craven’s A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984).

Joining Englund in the class of 2025 will be the one and only horror director, John Carpenter. Between HALLOWEEN, THE THING, THE FOG, and countless other contributions to the genre over the past half century, Carpenter remains one of the most emulated, reviled, celebrated, and confounding characters on the horror circuit. It’s good to see him finally get some of the recognition he’s deserved for so many years.

Congrats, guys. You’ve earned it!
