Tony Lucero's quick interview with horror icon Robert Englund

In 2008, I was in the early stages of planning the first Late Night Horror Film Festival.  One night, while I was working the night shift, I was listening to the radio.  Robert Englund was a guest on Love Line with Dr. Drew Pinsky.  I called in and asked Mr. Englund for his insight on elements of horror films.  As soon as I mentioned the Fest, my call got cut off (guess no free advertising for me).  Shortly after he announced that he would be at the screening of Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer at Hollywood Forever Cemetery the following week.  I went to this packed event(and was even on a date) and at last got to meet and interview the man behind the infamous Freddy Krueger.  Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer was later entered into the 2009 LNHFF and the rest was history.  Here's the brief interview.  Enjoy!
