Day 6: #anightmareonelmstreet

Before Robert Englund got cast & became forever known as Freddy Krueger, actor David Warner (Omen & Necronomicon: Book of Dead) was originally cast & there's even a picture of him doing the make-up test, but he had to drop out because of schedule issues.

The movie also became Johnny Depp's film debut, though he originally just followed his friend Jackie Earle Haley to the auditions & Depp got the role because director Wes Craven's daughter thought he was dreamy.
Ironically Jackie Earle Haley would years later play Freddy Krueger in the horrible & bland remake.

Of course it got sequels, 2, 3 & New Nightmare being the most memorable of them all while the others where just meh. And then came the crossover movie Freddy vs. Jason.
There's been talks of a new movie & search for a new Freddy, I think Mike Leavy from Terrifier should be the new Freddy. Just check his video on Instagram...
