Freddy Krueger Star Robert Englund Brings Claw Glove to Hollywood Star Ceremony

Robert Englund got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame … and the dude totally paid spooky homage to the horror character he made an icon.

Here’s the deal … Englund was honored with a star on freakin’ Halloween for his decades in the biz … scaring the hell out of us as the nightmare-stalking serial killer, Freddy Krueger.

And Englund made sure to give Freddy his due … sporting the trademark knife-claw glove!

During his speech … RE gave serious love to the late legendary Wes Craven, who wrote and directed the film that kicked off the slasher franchise — “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”

And just to be clear … Robert is best known for being Freddy — but the actor has appeared in more than 100 films, so he’s been plenty busy in between the ‘Nightmare’ series.
