Robert Englund:Heres the thing.
But most of our fans discovered this film as part of the video generation.
So they saw it less than perfect.
One, two, Freddy’s coming for you! © Warner Bros.
Their memories of it are less than perfect.
This is an opportunity to see this better than Heather and Ive ever seen it.
To see it absolutely pristine and enhanced, you know, ultra high def 4K.

And Im so looking forward to this.
Heather Langenkamp:The new stuff is in Tinas death scene.
So [there] will be even more footage in there.

Plus, that scene is so moody, all the blood.
Im just imagining that its going to be extra vivid.
But the lighting in the boiler room and in the dreams is just a little different.
And I think thatll be more pronounced, you know, in this new version.
Langenkamp:I think so.
I mean, why not?
Englund:Id love to work with Heather again.
I mean, it would be fun.
Langenkamp:For anything!
Englund:Id love to direct Heather.
Langenkamp:[Interjects] Or the opposite!
Englund:Even in a thriller or something like that.
And I start to pursue her.
And the fun of that would be, Oh yeah, and then also, were Freddy and Nancy.
Langenkamp:Wait,Iget to pursueyou.
We have to turn the tables!
Englund:So Ill be the psychiatrist!
Langenkamp:You be the victim, Ill be the Freddy!
Englund:Okay, I got you.
[Both laugh]
io9:Do you have a favorite memory about working with Wes Craven?
Nobody ever expects to go to work and have to sit in a bathtub all day with bubbles.
It just was Wes at his best, kind of thinking on his feet.
So that was probably my favorite scene to shoot.
Englund:OnNightmare[part] seven, [New Nightmare], it got a little actually surreal.
And it was just so strange.
Wes, me, Heather, the kid, the albino eels.
And thats the true Wes Craven, always coming up with those goofy puns and jokes.
I had him in my apartment once on location.
Massive Head Wound Harry was the sketch, with Dana Carvey, but he fell off the couch.
Im not your director anymore.
The Blu-ray 4K UHD arrives October 15.
