Now we suspect it because it's Halloween, 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.160 it's around thet We are huge horror movie fans, so 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.600 we have all kinds of guesses about who it might be. 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.319 But we've been thrown off a little bit. Now they 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:20.800 throw us a couple of curves.

I under what 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.440 she's doing now and here you are. That is a 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.560 legit absolute. 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:11.000 So we were on a plane yesterday and we like 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.240 to talk because we're you know, just like that, And 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.720 so we put on what we call background movies. And 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.079 it's usually just a favorite movie of ours. We've seen 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.960 lance up at the screen and see and feel all 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.480 warm and fuzzy, And for me it was Nightmare on 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:29.120 Elm Street. We just let's say hello, I'm here with 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:29.800 Robert Evid. 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.200 We're celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Nightmare this year, and 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.200 we're also we're talking about the Ultra four KHD that 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.280 Warner Brothers just putting out. So we're we're spending a 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.040 lot of We're spending a lot of time together, and. 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:43.480 It's that thing. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:48.160 You know. What I realized is so many fans discovered 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.560 Nightmare on Elm Street on that that rented video, that 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.920 VHS came from the Mom and Pop video store. There 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.680 wasn't wound rewounded properly, you know. And of weeks ago, 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.040 I was watching the four K of Hitchcock's Rear Window, 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.960 you know, with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, and it 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.440 was so incredible. 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.040 It was better than I ever imagined it. So I'm 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:12.920 I'm I'm. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.760 Really hyping this four K of Nightmare on Elm Street 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.560 one because I just I know that I've had the 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.440 experience of talking with fans so many of it watched 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.200 it at home, you know, on video, And this one's 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.680 gonna look really. 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.960 Creamy because everyone has these new TVs now that you know, 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.920 can show all the glory. 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:35.560 In the man cave, the woman you know, how does 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.880 that change. I have not seen like an original and 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.279 older horror movie in this four K format before. We 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.600 have watched the omen A lot actually lately, and there's 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.880 something about just that grainy, that grimy look is not 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.040 so that still is kind of appealing. But you're telling 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.560 me the four K thing is going to blow blow 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:52.800 his way. 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.159 And what's even more is if they added some about 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.880 eight or nine seconds to the Tina death seeds. You 0:04:58.920 --> 0:04:59.080 know what. 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.680 I dragged China over the ceiling and. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.919 I just watched it. Yes, that's one thing. I'm telling you. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:11.080 Eight seconds of missing footage, which sounds short, but that's 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:15.000 actually that's a lot of blood and that's already. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.960 It's such a good scene. It's gonna yeah, it's even 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:17.520 better now. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.440 That is so exciting. What I'm trying to remember what 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:26.120 year it was when it first came out in forty 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.640 years ago, I was eleven years old. I didn't see 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.080 it in theaters, but I sneaked over to my neighbor's 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.080 house to watch it and we would sit there and 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:41.120 sing one, two, Freddy's after You, three, four better, six, 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.239 Crucifix eight. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:47.560 Jumped in sleep. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.440 But again, I mean I was a huge fan, and 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.080 I know you probably love this, but I mean it 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.400 is scary when I look at you now. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:06:01.599 You still look like Freddy Krueger to me. But Freddy 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:02.160 was older. 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.000 Freddie was older than Robert England when I originally played it, 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.800 and as I age, I'm kind. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:08.360 Of aging like him. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.160 But that was that's a gift actually from Kevin Yaeger 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.240 or makeup man, because he wanted to make my musculature, 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.599 even with the burns on the face and neck. He 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.480 wanted to make me look like an older man to 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.760 begin with, and I played him with a with a 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.400 gruffer voice that I actually had back then. So uh, 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.960 that's actually why now the shorter my haircut is. When 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.239 I'm in airports and stuff, I actually get recognized more 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.920 now than I did. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.880 That actually, because I look more like him. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.279 Do you wear a striped sweater? 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.440 I've never seen Robert in a red and green sweater actually, 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.560 except a couple of times. He does not usually have 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:49.240 one with them. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.600 Yes, I'm not all. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:58.520 The time, Robert, not your brother. What is a what 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.359 is a screen? Do we still have scream queens these days? 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.000 I mean I always say I don't feel like I 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.240 scream that much. In Nightmare on Elm Street because I'm 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.240 so busy kicking ass. Right, most of the time, I'm 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.680 not screaming that much, but it is become a form. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.280 It's a term of art that I think is actually 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:23.080 wonderful because I share that with so many amazing actresses 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.600 who have been in incredible shows like Nightmare on Elm Streets. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.600 So I kind of feel as like our little brotherhood 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.880 or sisterhood of a sisterhood of women who are able 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:36.320 to be part of these incredible slasher movies, horror movies 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:37.679 for the past forty years. 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.800 You know, when I was a kid and we go 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.920 to the you know, the matinee, Molan save up our 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.160 allowance and go see the double bill horror movies for 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.360 a matinee, and it was almost always boys. But after 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.920 Sigourney Weaver and Aliens, and then Jamie Lee Curtis and 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.640 Halloween and then at the outset the Nightmare on Elm 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:59.280 Street franchise, we always have a strong survival, survivor girl, 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.360 you know, a five girl. Hollywood calls it in their 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.280 in their vocabulary, in parlance, and I'm kind of proud 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.600 that we were sort of the film responsible for getting 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:15.520 the original accumulation of horror fangirls, you know, really bringing 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.920 them into the into the audience we have. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.160 When we started forty years ago, very few women would 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.680 come and meet us or come into these autograph shows 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.600 that we do, and now it's half or more. Are 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.360 not only women, but their grandmothers, their daughters, and they 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.920 all come and they just love Nancy and they love 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.840 what she stands for. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.440 I think they identify, you know, the journey of the 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.840 survivor girl throughout the movies, and it's Heather and several 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:44.079 of them Lisa Willcox, yeah, Lisa Sane, Billy Zaye's sister, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:49.040 and Monica Kena. But their survived you identify and you 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.120 follow that journey, and they do. 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:55.000 At the end. People forget this. Freddie always loses to 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.000 a girl, a woman. 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.920 At the end of each film, she survives and vanquishes him. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.000 And I think that that was a kind of a 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.079 first without it. But then all the girls didn't always 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.760 just go into the barn with the guy with a chainsaw. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.360 Let's go hide in the barcion. 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:13.880 Oh yeah, that commercial is amazing. 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.480 I'm amazed because I don't think I mean, I just 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.560 loved the film and I did it's funny. I did 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.640 identify with Nancy. I was watching you on the plane yesterday, 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.120 Heather and I and I. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.720 Was saying, it's so funny. 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.520 I remember just wanting to be you and looking up 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.720 to you, and I just got sucked into the whole story. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.600 I loved, obviously the adrenaline, with the fear and Freddy 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.359 Kruger and all of that, but I really really identified 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.600 with you and your character of Nancy. Heather and I 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.360 never thought about it like this, And I don't think 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.760 I realized that a woman always ended up I love Vanquishing, 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:47.079 is it? 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:48.160 Freddy Kruger? 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.880 I mean, I think that's why this movie came along 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.280 at a time when America was really ready to have 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.040 women step into these roles. But I always tell people 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:02.160 it wasn't just It's not just girls love Nancy, boys 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:03.200 and men love her too. 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:04.439 Because it's the pajamas. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.880 It's the pajamas, the sexy pajamas, the little Chinese pajamas 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.079 with the flowers. But she just represented how to face 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.280 your fear and how to like get over through, you know, 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.280 get through whatever in your life is causing you. You know, Freddy, 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.439 I always say, what's your Freddie and people always answer, Oh, 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.120 it's it's my you know, my horrible whatever that's going 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.880 on in my life, and that's their Freddy and everyone 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.199 needs a Nancy inspiration to get over that. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.080 I think that's the best gimmick, the best hook that 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.920 that we should praise. And remember, you know, the late 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.080 great Wes Craven, you know, and he also did the 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.199 screen franchise, you know, and he changed Horror before Nightmare 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.720 on Elm Street with the Hills Have Eyes and last 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.760 House on the left. But this great book, which is 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:55.000 the Nightmare. The nightmare is universal everyone has had and 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.520 we all have some of the same dreams about falling 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.600 or drowning or our algebra test. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.640 We're stepping into the gluey steps with your feet, yeah, 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:03.560 but you can't get out. 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.199 It's funny you mentioned you we are not kidding. I 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.280 assume they passed along to you how big horror movie 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:10.800 fans we are. But on the way here to the 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:15.440 studio today, she's in the kitchen just making scrambled eggs, 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.079 and I'm on the computer and she's whimming up something 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.120 to eat and puts on something in the background to 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.200 watch on the TV in the kitchen, and she put 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.000 on Scream. We're watching Scream at ten thirty in the 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.480 morning as our background movie. That's how serious it is. 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:34.400 Yes, Breakfast with Drew Barrylmore. Yeah, the last Yeah, the. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:35.440 Last two movies. 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.640 The last two movies we just watched are Nightmare and 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.520 elm Street and Scream and then voila. We are now 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.800 walking into this interview with you two and it couldn't 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:45.480 be more perfect. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.560 So we're super excited. I'm curious we're either. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.880 One of you horror movie fans beforehand, and what did 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.400 you think when you got the script? Did you think 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.360 this is going to be crazy or this is going 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.720 to be excellent? I mean, I just want to know 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.880 what you thought going into it versus what the reality actually. 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.000 I'll start with you Robert. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.720 Well, Yeah, I was fascinated with horror as a child, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:12.520 and my godfather had a coffee table book of the movies, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.120 and it had a section of the Golden Age of 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.880 Horror Frankenstein, Dracula, the wolf Man, etc. But it also 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.360 had from the Silent Days. It had a two page 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.160 fold out of all of the various makeups that Lon 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.839 Cheney had done, including one where he boiled an egg 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.480 and took the placentia of a hard boiled egg and 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.840 put it over his eye to make it look milky 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.280 and dead, probably the first contact lens. But I was 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.520 fascinated with that stuff. But when I was a theater actor, 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.640 I became kind of a snob for several years. You know, 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.440 I was the guy in the corduroy jacket with the 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:57.760 patches on the sleeve, that guy. And it took Wes 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:03.400 Craven to remind me how much as a child and 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.640 as a young man, I loved horror and loved that 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.360 world and the fantasy aspect of it. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.200 So yeah, I was Heather. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.199 How about you, Well, I was very scared. I never 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.120 could really watch a horror movie all the way through. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.520 As soon as there was like one scary scene, I 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.240 would turn off the TV as fast as I could 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.319 because I had really bad dreams. And so, I mean 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.280 I even tell people that Wizard of Oz would scare 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.560 me so badly. Those trees that came alive and like 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:35.920 tried to grab Dorothy, lying that wicked witch. I mean, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.720 all of that terrified me. So I knew I had 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:38.920 a really low threshold. 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.839 Flying Monkey's got to be But you know, on the. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.240 Other hand learning from Wes. I mean, I got to 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.280 learn from the very best. I really learned to appreciate 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.160 horror and like what kind of role it plays for people, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.280 and and so now I really love I love to 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:57.000 watch horror movies. My husband's a special effects makeup artists, 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.520 so I'm really critical about all the flood in. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.200 You are American Horror Story. You've watched the American Horror Story. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.360 Yeah, if I see something that looks slightly cheesy, I'm like, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.120 I don't know if I'm going to continue watching. 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.080 And there's some great There's some great new stuff out 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:11.520 now too. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.840 Okay, we have to ask you to you all are 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.560 horror movie royalty. What these days do you like? And 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.200 that you've maybe even something you've seen lately. We've got 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.960 to know what horror movies do you two? 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:24.920 That's what I was just gonna say. There is some 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:29.560 great new stuff out. I just watched Apartment seven A 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.280 with Julia Gard streaming. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.120 We haven't seen it yet from Ozart. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.960 I just saw her do the that's the prequel to 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.800 Rosemary's Baby, and Dan Weis is playing the Ruth Gordon role. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.280 She's channeling Ruth Gordon. And if you watch them back 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.800 to back. It's a perfect prequel to Rosemary's Baby, which 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.080 is one of my favorites, which is a definite classic. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:56.920 You just saw them back to back, and it was 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.560 so much fun because in Rosemary's Baby they talk about 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.800 that character that Julia Garner plays, she's the girl from 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:09.480 the laundry room in the fabulous apartment house that disappears. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:20.280 And what about you? What do you like in these days? 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.200 I mean, the last horror movie I really saw was Abigail, 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.840 which I really like. Melissa Barrera is like one of 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.200 my favorite actresses now in horror, and she's in a 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.000 lot of different horror movies. She's gonna be in this 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.760 movie called Your Monster that's coming up. That is also 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.800 I got to see in the Citrus Film Festival just 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:39.560 last weekend. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.840 Is that the horror romantic or. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:48.320 I mean it is a great oh wow, So yeah, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.480 he made the monster in that, So that's not why 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.760 I love it. I saw it in an audience of 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.960 like European people and they were cheering at the screen 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.000 and laughing, and then at the end it's a pretty 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.520 horrifying handy. But I that movie, I have to say, 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.240 is one of my favorites, but more meta movies like 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.040 Happen in the Woods and you know, of course I 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.120 saw the latest Evil Dead. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.160 You know, long Long Legs, Nick Page and long Legs. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:16.680 Oh yeah, so good. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.360 Probably, yeah, that's probably a serial killer movie. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:24.760 But still, boy, wow, just really strange darlings enveloped. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.360 You will see that one. Strange darlings were just exchange 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:28.480 exchanging horror movie notes. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.400 Now, I just saw the trailers. It looks great, It's phenomenal. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.800 Oh my goodness, this is amazing. 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:38.320 I'm I'm curious how your lives changed after that movie. 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.000 I don't think anyone probably could have anticipated. I know 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.240 it was Wes Craven, the wild success. The fact that 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.920 even my daughters who are now twenty one and eighteen 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.040 will still watch and be scared by. And they love 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.760 horror movies too, because they come by it honestly, but 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.360 they'll still go back and watch a movie from nineteen 0:16:55.520 --> 0:17:00.080 eighty four and say, holy crap, that is amazing. How 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.720 did your lives change after that movie became the success 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.200 it was and still is. 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.400 I'd had a hit TV series at the same time 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.560 called v and that had made me international, and then 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.000 doing Nightmare on elm Street. I did some of the 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.960 publicity for it, and I realized it was also simultaneously 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.320 as here. It was a hit in Europe, and the 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.199 real gift I got from being in it is it 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.159 made me an international actor, and you know, things get 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.760 slow for me in Hollywood. I go chase some beautiful 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.080 young actors like Heather or around a castle in Spain. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.320 Well, I mean, yeah, I think the movie really did. 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.960 The success really did pile upon Robert right away, but 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:46.439 the idea of Nancy as this important character, really it 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.479 really was a much slower build, and I found it 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:52.400 probably took five to even ten years before people started noticing, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.080 oh there's this girl, and people started actually writing about it. 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.800 The movie came out on VHS, and of course more 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.159 people saw it. But Nancy's you know, slow rise to 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.879 this point where she, you know, is this final girl 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.160 and scream queen. That took quite a while, actually, and 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.359 I never really felt that a lot of people saw 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.840 the movie. Frankly, I wasn't like Robert, who was being 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.879 mobbed at airports like I was, you know, going to 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.200 the grocery store and doing my daily life pretty anonymously 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:21.000 for a long time. 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.600 Well, Heather almost didn't do the movie. You know, her 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.800 back in eighty four horror movies. I mean, I'm old 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.360 enough to remember when you either did television or movies. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.360 You know, you didn't go back and forth. And then 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.439 John Travolta kind of broke it wide open, going from 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:40.480 Welcome Back Caught Her to Saturday Night Fever. But Heather's 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.200 was counseled, you know, not to do a horror movie. 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.160 And I even had second thoughts after I took the part. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.199 I took it because it fit in my schedule, and 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.320 I wanted to work with Wes and there was a 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.840 certain stigma then, you know, And and boy, I'll tell you, 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:56.280 am I ever glad? 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.360 I said yes to the Blue. 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:00.640 Yeah, how does that work? 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:01.399 Robert? 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.159 Well, Heather, you're the one that's not in makeup the 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.840 whole movie. He's in disguise. But you say he's the 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.720 one that gets recognized all the time. 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.560 Well, I mean he's just such an iconic character. I mean, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.199 look that hat and a sweater. I mean people, you know, 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.000 people just really love Freddy Krueger. And there's no explanation. 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:22.679 It's just this visceral feeling of wanting to go for 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.240 the bad guy, I guess, or or just feel part 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.040 of that energy that he has. It's just so incredible. 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.320 Well also, I'm sure the image of Freddie is the 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:36.880 logo for the experience of seeing the franchise or going 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:40.920 through the franchise, whereas Heather was the star of three movies, 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.760 you know, and has infinitely more screen time than I do. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.239 But I got this sort of lucky gift or the 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.600 happy accident of being the sort of logo for it. Now, However, 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.320 forty years later, and actually thirty years later, and actually 0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:01.560 twenty years later, the merchandising is so a worldwide of 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:06.000 our images that there's you know, probably more posters. 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.800 With Heather you know, featured on them now than me. 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.119 You know, I'm in the corner over here, but they 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.879
