guy scared the shit out of me when I was a kid
Edward > Freddie all day.
Who remembers when they bastardized poor Freddy in the late 80s and 90s, making all kinds of awful shows/sequels involving him?
"Freddy's Nightmares" was a good example. It was first-run syndication, typically shown late at night on some local/non-affiliated station. It was a horror anthology show, with nothing having to do with Freddy, except he would be introducing them.
It started in 1988. A year later, "Tales from the Crypt" showed up, and did it much better.
Robert Englund is a neighbor of a really good friend of mine. I've had many a block party with him and he is one of the coolest down to earth guys I've ever met.

The funny thing was that I first knew Robert Englund as "Willy", the gentle, bumbling alien from the "V" miniseries, which premiered in 1983.
The character was the exact opposite of Freddy.
This was a year before Nightmare on Elm Street.
Englund only became Freddy because he was able to squeeze the filming in right before the "V: The Final Battle" miniseries. Most actors weren't interested in the role, as the film was low budget and expected to be a failure. Even Englund wasn't excited about the role.
