Freddy Krueger
Englund is a fictionalized version of Robert Englund, who plays Freddy Krueger in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" films. He supports Heather when she begins to experience strange events related to the "Nightmare" films, and says that he was also experiencing strange events and nightmares. Fearing for his safety, he leaves home shortly after talking to Heather on the phone. Englund is also an artist in the film, and the supernatural events compel him to paint a nightmarish portrait of Freddy Krueger (actually painted by Linda Newman) in his hall before leaving. He is horrified by the completed picture, since it is like seeing himself being Freddy Krueger in a mirror killing three men (Heather's husband Chase and his co-workers Chuck and Terry).
