The unforgettable antagonist was gloriously portrayed by Robert Englund in eight spine-tingling installments in the chilling franchise and was created by a master of horror himself, Wes Craven. While moviegoers everywhere have come to know and love Englund as the demented Krueger, he was not actually the trailblazing filmmaker’s first choice to star as the undead murderer who stalks his victims in their dreams.

Critic’s Rating: 4.8 / 5.04.8To say I was floored by The Penguin Season 1 Episode 3 would be an understatement. I got so caught up in this episode that I completely forgot to turn my speaker volume down.

Vic really surprised me during Oz…

In fact, thrillers can often turn into horror movies part-way through, if the storyteller behind the script desires so. A good detective story is usually the place for this natural transition from one thrilling genre to a scary one. Detective movies aren’t always horror movies, but when the case gets disturbing enough, the transition is almost inevitable.…
