Easily the coolest thing happening this Halloween season (and that’s saying something) is the return of Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger in a special Halloween episode of ABC’s 80s-set series “The Goldbergs,“ which was announced totally out of nowhere last month. It may very well be the *last* time Englund plays Freddy on screen, and the first time since 2003.
Today, we’ve been provided with an official plot synopsis for the episode, which is titled “Mister Knifey-Hands”!
“Despite Beverly’s wishes, Jackie’s parents allow Adam to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street and a disagreement between the families ensues. But Beverly dreams of facing off with horror icon Freddy Krueger (guest star Robert Englund), which teaches her an important lesson about her son’s relationship with Jackie. Meanwhile, Erica realizes she’s not as popular as she once was as she starts hanging out at William Penn Academy despite the fact she’s no longer a student there.”
The episode will air later this month. Check out an HD promo photo below.
