Sigh. I think it’s pretty much written in stone that Robert Englund will never be playing Freddy Krueger again. It’s just something we simply have to accept. But hold that thought for a second, because he kinda sorta is reprising the role this Friday night!

In a press release sent out today, Nickelodeon revealed that Robert Englund will be a featured voice actor on this Friday night’s episode of the animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, portraying the dual roles of Dire and Dark Beaver – two thirds of the trio known as the Dream Beavers.

The whole episode, titled ‘In Dreams,’ is essentially one big homage to A Nightmare on Elm Street, seeing each Beaver targeting a different Turtle using various methods. The Dream Beavers feed off dreams, and trap the Turtles inside their own dreams, so April and Casey must find a way to wake them up. The Dream Beavers will have long, sharp claws, reminiscent of Freddy’s weapon of choice.

As if this news wasn’t already exciting enough, the other Dream Beaver is voice by John Kassir, who is most known for voicing the Crypt Keeper in HBO’s Tales from the Crypt series.

The episode premieres Friday, November 14, at 8:00 p.m. ET on Nick. You’re not going to want to miss this one!
