Robert Englund is a horror movie icon, and not just for his most obvious role. Getting his start in horror movies of the late 70s and early 80s, it wasn't until the American actor was cast as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies that he became a household name, bringing to life the scarred, pun-slinging dream demon with ghoulish charisma.

Better known as a stage play, 1989's The Phantom of the Opera tells the same story almost more effectively as a daring horror movie, though it didn't win any favors with critics.
7 The Moleman of Belmont Avenue Robert Englund plays Hezekiah Confab On the subject of horror comedies, Robert Englund was willing to help out the production of some incredibly obscure, low-budget films long after having established himself as an icon in the genre. Enter The Moleman of Belmont Avenue, a very independent horror comedy that somehow managed to book Englund for a role as an entertaining side character.

In Wishmaster, the reality-warping powers of the villain are explained by the magical powers of the djinn rather than haunting nightmares.
