* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Robert Englund's widely considered a nice and talkative guy (in fact, the chattering sometimes complicated the make-up artists' job).
* TheOtherDarrin: Kristen was portrayed by Patricia Arquette in ''Dream Warriors'', and Tuesday Knight in ''The Dream Master''.
* TypeCasting: Robert Englund played Freddy in all of the original films and ''Freddy vs. Jason''. To be fair, apart from all the makeup it requires, he does enjoy the role.
** The whole "typecasting" thing was lovingly mocked on ''Mad TV'' early in that show's run, when Englund did a guest spot for a Halloween episode. During his appearance, everyone kept describing Englund, as his big claim to fame, his other famous genre role of "Willie", the comic relief alien from the original ''{{V}}'' mini-series. Englund responds quite angrily, pointing out to each cast member who calls him "Willie", that he played Freddy Kruger in the ''Nightmare on Elm Street'' films. But everyone keeps referring to him as "The guy who played Willie on ''V''" instead of "the ''Nightmare On Elm Street'' guy", much to his dismay and anger.
* VaporWare: The reality television show ''Real Nightmares'', which had six episodes made but never aired.
