Bloody Disgusting is celebrating the 76th birthday of horror legend Robert Englund tomorrow with the release of the definitive documentary, Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story. And the party has already started over on SCREAMBOX.
The Bloody Disgusting-powered horror streaming service just added THREE classic Robert Englund films to the lineup, and that’s only the beginning of our epic celebration.
Over on SCREAMBOX, you can now stream A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), plus Tobe Hooper movies Night Terrors (1993) and The Mangler (1995)!
The arrival of these three Robert Englund films on SCREAMBOX is paving the way for SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story, which will premiere only on SCREAMBOX for Englund’s birthday on June 6!
The documentary was shot over the course of two years, highlighting the life and career of the classically trained actor and director. Featuring interviews with Robert Englund and his wife Nancy, as well as fellow genre icons Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Kane Hodder, Tony Todd, Adam Green, Bill Moseley, Heather Langenkamp & more, the documentary follows Englund’s career from his early days in Buster and Billie and Stay Hungry (starring with Arnold Schwarzenegger) to his big break in the 1980s as Freddy Krueger, his directorial debut with the 1988 horror film 976-EVIL, and his current roles such as Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things”.
Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story looks beyond the film credits and examines Englund’s career and his navigation through the cutthroat world of Hollywood.
In addition to debuting the doc, we’ll be celebrating #RobertEnglundDay on Bloody Disgusting and the BD socials all day long on Tuesday, June 6. You can expect a whole lot of Robert Englund content on that day, and we also invite you to tweet along using our hashtag.
