Robert Englund–known for playing the iconic role of murderer Freddy Kruger in the Nightmare on Elm Street film series–has just made a surprising request.
Englund wants to see a gay remake of a film from the series.The first sequel to the original Nightmare film, titled A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, debuted to negative reviews back in 1985, but has since earned a devoted following for a peculiar reason.
