Freddy’s crib is now on the market
Remember the iconic slash‑and‑burn house from A Nightmare on Elm Street? The spot that made Robert Englund a household name? Guess what—it’s up for sale! The house sits at 1428 N Genesee in Los Angeles. (Yeah, the film was filmed in Ohio, but the real estate market keeps rolling out of the script.)
What buyers can expect
- Two‑storey Dutch colonial charm with walnut floors that shine brighter than a fresh pair of shoes after a Friday night.
- Three bedrooms, four bathrooms—and guess what? Each bedroom gets its own en‑suite, so you never have to share the toilet again.
- A “retro‑modern” open kitchen where culinary dreams (or nightmares) can actually cook.
- The Grand Primary Suite that feels like a VIP lounge for your own personal sleepover.
- A separate laundry room that doesn’t scream “old house” when you open the door.
Bonus features
- A detached guest house with a covered patio—perfect for hosting friends or staging a mock horror movie night.
- A kitchen and a designer bathroom that could rival any spa‑like get‑away.
All of this for $3.25 million USD (or SG$4.37 million for our international fans). Countdown’s starting, and why not snag the home that gives you a slice of cinematic terror?
From Nightmare to Reality: Robert Englund’s Journey
Starring as the infamous Freddy Krueger in 1984, Robert Englund has lived every episode of the franchise. He’s turned his career from a simple “redneck” role into a worldwide legend.
“I was lucky. I had 70s side‑kick gigs, then I became everyone’s favorite redneck. But when I did Freddy, it just flung me into international stardom overnight. I’d never had that kind of success before—like grabbing a ring on a merry‑go‑round and holding onto it.”
And you’d think that’s all there is to it? Nope. The video revolution took that fame into new realms—DVDs, Blu‑Rays, cable marathons, and the latest Netflix reboots. Englund claims that each wave of media multiplies his fan base, bringing in a new “generation” of horror enthusiasts.
“It’s like times eight with every platform, and that’s not even counting the TV series. I’m on my third generation of fans—it’s endless, and I love it.”
So, if you’re itching to own a piece of horror history (and perhaps share it with your friends for a cozy yet spooky dinner), this house is your ticket to the dream—or the nightmare, depending on where you’re standing.
