Though "way overdue," as many fans noted, the timing is also just right to celebrate the actor who has made a decades-long impact on the horror genre, and whose name is synonymous with one of the most iconic horror film villains.
The 78-year-old will be celebrated with his own Hollywood Walk of Fame star—the 2,826th star, to be exact—on Oct. 31 in Los Angeles.
Englund's star will be in the Motion Pictures category, with emcee Steve Nissen joined by director Eli Roth and Heather Langenkamp, who portrayed Nancy Thompson in the franchise, as guest speakers.The icon previously teased the major event, writing, "I heard I’m getting a treat at 11:30 on 6644 Hollywood Boulevard!" alongside a photo of a star with his name, and a shadow of Krueger's weapon of choice—the bladed glove.

Many expressed that Krueger was responsible for some of their best childhood memories, writing, "Thank you for bringing the classic horror to my childhood ?" someone wrote, as another noted, "The greatest horror actor to ever grace any movie!" and a third emphasized, "We had the best child hood. Thank you for the nightmares ??????? the best scary movies EVER."
"Congratulations to the king of horror!!!!! ?????" another summed it up.
Often ranked amongst the top movie villains of all time, alongside Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers and Darth Vader, Englund reprised his role eight times across the Nightmare franchise, along with many TV cameos and specials, with 2003's Freddy vs. Jason marking his final performance.
