Heather Langenkamp Wants to Fight Freddy

Heather Langenkamp is back in Netflix and Mike Flanagan’s “The Midnight Club,” and with the series now streaming, Entertainment Tonight had a chat with the horror icon this week.

Naturally, the conversation eventually hit upon Langenkamp’s iconic role in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, and it’s a role the actress would still love to return to.

“If Nancy could fight Freddy one last time, I would really like that,” she tells ET.

“Gosh, I’d love to see a future in that. I’ve been really watching the Halloween saga that’s been out, and I love watching Jamie Lee Curtis get to play that part,” Langenkamp adds. “You know, this age, where I think we have so much to give to those storylines, but yeah, I wish I was in control of that, but, unfortunately, it’s one of those Hollywood very complicated things.”

Iconic final girls including Laurie Strode, Sidney Prescott, and even Sally Hardesty have been brought back to the screen for legacy sequels in recent years, and seeing Nancy Thompson one final time would seem to be a natural response to that trend. Nancy was of course killed off in Dream Warriors back in the 1980s, but death sure never stopped Laurie Strode.

The big question, of course, is whether or not Robert Englund would agree to play Freddy Krueger again. In recent years, Englund has made it pretty clear that he feels his days of donning the burn makeup are probably behind him, but we’ve learned to never say never when it comes to stuff like this. Would you like to see one final battle between Freddy and Nancy?

Or would you rather the Elm Street franchise return with a fresh approach?

I'd leave it alone (liver alone!). Englund is too old and Heather is close. One thing I don't like about the new Halloweenies is that it relies too heavily on this frail old woman battling monstrously strong (and cunning when he wants to be) Myers. How many times they gonna play that song and dance, and she's lost about 5 steps here.
