Don’t go to sleep! Freddy Krueger is back and you can bet the new Nightmare on Elm Street will be waay scarier than the old Johnny Depp cheesy ones.

Robert Englund, who played the part in eight films, revealed that Billy Bob Thornton will star in the horror films and is an “excellent choice” for the role. He adds, “A big budget should mean the film will look a lot better than some of the old movies.”

Billy Bob is creepy as hell in real life…I hear he only eats raw food and drinks baby blood these days. Can you imagine how scary they can make this guy in a horror movie these days?
