A Quarter-Century of Krueger: Happy Birthday, Dear Freddy...

For this week's edition of QCK, I'd like to very simply wish a happy and healthy 60th BIRTHDAY (really??) to the one and only Robert Englund, a.k.a. the original Freddy Krueger himself.

As much as I'd like to talk a bit about Englund and his impressive career, the fine blog Monsterland has already done an excellent job, so I'll just point you there. Plus, I have my grade school reunion to attend in Brooklyn tonight, and need some time to make myself pretty and for the grueling 70-mile drive...

And incidentally, if you'd like to read a terrific post on Englund's co-star in the original Nightmare on Elm Street, Heather Langenkamp, head right over here. Just sayin'...
