We were pretty sure we were NEVER again going to see Robert Englund play Freddy Krueger, but we were wrong about that and we’ve never been so excited about being so wrong.

Announced today, Robert Englund will be guest starring as Freddy Krueger – in full makeup and costume – in this year’s Halloween episode of ABC’s ’80s-set “The Goldbergs“!

And yes, we’re talking classic ’80s Freddy.

The episode, titled “Nightmare on Elk Avenue,” centers on the fears of the show’s teenage protagonist, Adam, after seeing “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”

Check out a preview below and expect the episode in October.
