- [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!
