• [Heather is on a talk show with Sam Rubin] 

  Sam Rubin : So, Heather, we're approaching the 10th anniversary of this whole Nightmare on Elm Street thing. I mean, the original, 5 very popular sequels. How has all the success affected you personally?

  [Heather strains for a smile and shrugs] 

  Heather Langenkamp : I don't know if it really has, Sam. I--

  [laughs] 

  Heather Langenkamp : God. With the exception of 1 and 3, I pretty much stayed out of it, and, uh... Well, you know, I'm doing a lot more television now, so those hours let me spend a lot more time with my husband and my little boy.

  Sam Rubin : That's right, you have a little boy. What's his name?

  Heather Langenkamp : Dylan.

  Sam Rubin : With Dylan, does that change your feeling, your perspective about horror movies?

  Heather Langenkamp : No, not really.

  Sam Rubin : I mean, would you let him see one of your movies?

  Heather Langenkamp : My son? No.

  Sam Rubin : I'm sure people ask you this all the time-- is there going to be another sequel, and what's more, is Freddy really dead?

  Heather Langenkamp : Of course he is.

  [softer] 

  Heather Langenkamp : Freddy's dead and gone.

  Sam Rubin : And how about your costar in the original, in Nightmare 1, would you trust him alone with Dylan?

  Heather Langenkamp : [a little lost, but she still laughs]  Robert? I don't know.

  Sam Rubin : Why don't we ask him how he'd feel about it? We've got a big surprise for you, Heather, and for our audience.

  [Heather's confusion is quickly becoming apprehension] 

  Sam Rubin : Let's bring him out. He is the best of the bad. Let's say hello to Robert Englund!

  [Robert Englund appears in traditional Freddy makeup and outfit, clawing his way through one of the set's backdrops. The audience cheers. Heather smiles, relieved] 

  Freddy Krueger : [to Heather, as Freddy]  Ha ha! Love ya, babe! We'll do lunch! Ha!

  [begins hamming it up for the audience] 

  Freddy Krueger : I'm alive once again! Freddy's back! Give it up for your uncle Freddy! Ha ha ha! Just when you thought it was safe to get back into bed!

  [begins running up into the audience] 

  Freddy Krueger : Ha ha! Ha ha!

  [spots someone in the audience dressed in the same sweater] 

  Freddy Krueger : Give me 5!

  [they both high-five each other; Heather becomes uneasy] 

  Freddy Krueger : Ha ha ha ha! I'm back, and I'm badder than ever!
