Rob Manuel Quotes

Freddy Krueger was one of my childhood heroes.

The last time we had Freddy in reality was part two and Freddy sort of went out on his own.

I actually am grateful for Freddy Krueger, because the big surprise to me - with that sort of double punch of science fiction TV series and then the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' phenomenon - was that I got an international celebrity out of it.

As a kid, I had nightmares about Freddy Krueger just from the trailers on TV!

Robert Englund's done an amazing job over the years playing Freddy. Everybody that's a fan of 'Nightmare' loves Robert and you know so that's a challenge when you've got to step in a big man's shoes like that, so it's scary but it's also exciting.

'Halloween' is classic Michael Myers.

Freddy Krueger, that's my boy. He's lean, and he's mean. I like scary movies, and when I had my head shaved, some people thought I looked just like him.

Freddie Kruger, Jason, Michael Myers - they're all our generation. I think the kids wanted some new guys that they could take ownership of and Jigsaw was that guy.

I like the original 'Halloween.'

Oh I love horror movies, yeah. I think my favorite movie growing up was 'The Omen.' I actually wanted to be that little kid.

I've never been a big horror genre fan, but I did go see 'Nightmare on Elm Street' in the theaters and I dug it. I thought it was cool.

'Nightmare on Elm Street' really lends itself to using new technologies. CGI would be a great way to exploit and embrace the dream sequences.

If they do something like that, maybe a Freddy Krueger fan, a girl, a really sick goth girl starts killing kids herself and Freddy has to put a stop to it, or they have to fight it out.

I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

I've never seen 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', I've never seen 'Halloween', I've never seen any of the 'Friday the 13ths.'

I love '80s horror.

'Evil Dead 1' was never supposed to have a sequel.

And in Freddy vs. Jason I like when Jason and I double team Destiny's Child.

There was a big horror boom in the '80s, and I liked its originality and what you could get away with.

How can you have 'Scream' without Ghostface? It's like 'Friday the 13th' without Jason.

'The Shining,' 'A Nightmare on Elm Street,' 'Halloween.' Those are the greats.

I was in the first 'Friday The 13th,' and that was a microbudget horror film.
