Beyond the break you’ll find the official casting call, who will end up as Freddy?
[FREDDY KRUEGER] (40s) The fedora-wearing villain of children’s nightmares. He”s taunting and vindictive. He’s the last person you want to see in your dreams…

[QUENTIN] (18) Mysterious, smart and cool. Think indie type guy. He runs the school podcast, “Insomnia Radio”. Think Johnny Depp…
[NANCY] (18) Attractive, interesting, and intriguing. Very smart. Not terribly social. There’s one in every class. The pretty-girl image is not her priority. Getting out of town after graduation is…
[DEAN] (18) He’s the school jock. Attractive. He”s the kid that lives in the two-story home on the street that screams “Rich Suburbia.” He’s the guy that everyone seems to love…
[JESSE] (18) – Alpha male. Cool, attractive. He used to date Kris, and he’s still trying to get back together – even though they’ve broken up about 4 times already…
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.

“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
