‘Bones’ Slasher Episode gets Freddy Krueger Actor

Posted on

Well those of us who love our SciFi and Horror all know Robert Englund very well from TV and movies like V the original, Galaxy of Terror, The Phantom of the Opera, The Vampyre Wars and the list goes on and on but most everyone knows him as Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street. Now that actor Robert Englund has been replaced by Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger in the A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot, Englund has a bit more time to once again take on other roles and do some special guest appearances on TV series.

Englund who is now age 62 has signed on to appear in a episode of Fox’s hit television series Bones. The plan is to make a slasher-themed episode and have Englund play a creepy custodian at Brennan’s old high school.

The story finds jaded Brennan (Emily Deschanel) planning to skip her high school reunion, until a murder sends her and Booth (David Boreanaz) to the scene to investigate. The episode will air this spring.
