Stranger Things’ Robert Englund imagines Freddy Krueger infiltrating Hannibal Lecter’s dreams and it’s unbelievable

The following story will contain spoilers for Stranger Things Season 4… at least, the first half. The second half of the season is coming up and we think this character will play a bigger role.

Now you know Nightmare on via Elm legend Robert Englund played a part in the ongoing history of Strange things, who appears as Victor Creel in the present day … who ended up being the father of Henry Creel, the man who would become Vecna. We don’t know if Englund will be back for the rest of the season , but the fact that he is the creator of the Big Bad of the season, it is assumed that the actor will not be limited to one scene, but only one scene. This sequence is of course a tribute to Jonathan Demme’s Oscar-winning film. The silence of the lambs, with Victor Creel (Englund) held in a cell that resembles that of Hannibal Lecter. So when Englund stopped FilmBlend ReelBlend Podcast As a guest, he talked about the classic Anthony Hopkins character and the influence he had on the horror genre, saying:

Lecter is one of my favorite on-screen villains and I’m returning to Brian Cox’s performance in Manhunter, with William Petersen. It is an extraordinarily disturbing performance. And of course the teacher, Anthony Hopkins. I knew immediately when I arrived on set, before I put on makeup and never see her again, that was what they did there. And they’re the Duffer brothers, you know? It’s just layer upon layer upon layer of not just ’80s nostalgia, but also’ 80s manufacturing, design and familiarity. And start messing with your subconscious when all of these things come together. When there’s a little bit of Silence of the Lambs, a little bit of Nightmare on Elm Street, a little bit of Amityville Horror, a little bit of Goonies, a little bit of all that intertwined and layered stuff.

As for the “small” Nightmare on via Elm, it’s impossible not to hang out with Freddy Krueger himself and play with potential crossovers. Of course, Robert Englund hasn’t played his razor-wielding psycho since then. a 2018 episode of ABC the Goldbergs . But when asked what Freddy would be like trying to infiltrate Hannibal Lecter’s dreams, the actor appreciated the idea, saying ReelBlend :

If Hannibal Lecter fell asleep, you know, and it could be Brian (Cox) or Anthony (Hopkins) or Mads Mikkelsen, was that the best show on TV? There were whole episodes with no dialogue, but what they did there was play with the concept of the foodie and the foodie being mean and obsessive, which we know if you’ve ever gone to dinner with a and that you’ve seen them order and be fussy about a menu (laughs). . As a vegetarian, you know, it embarrasses you at a barbecue restaurant. But I think it would be fun for Freddy to poison Hannibal. It would be an interesting twist if he got into Hannibal’s head and convinced him to go to a three-star Michelin restaurant and kill himself. “Hannibal, try the puffer fish!” “(laugh). More wasabi?

Now I need to see this more than anything else. Unfortunately, this will likely not be included in the last two episodes of Strange things season 4, what start streaming on Netflix July 1. We always have important questions we need to answer of the first half of Season 4. We have also updated everything we know about season 4 until now, in case you don’t have time to eat (because these episodes are long!) Now stay away, Dr. Lecter. Freddy is coming to get you.
