When one thinks of '80s horror movies, Freddy Krueger almost immediately comes to mind. Hell, in some people's eyes, he's the face and voice of the slasher movie. In this new clip from In Search of Darkness, Heather Langenkamp, Ken Sagoes, Barbara Crampton, Ben Scrivens and Kane Hodder discuss the Springwood Slasher's legacy and what makes the character so iconic.
We've been sharing a lot of clips from the documentary lately, so be sure to check out our previous coverage if you'd like to see more!
