Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Robert Englund, best known for portraying Freddy Krueger in the horror franchise A Nightmare on Elm Street, was honored with a Hollywood star, appropriately, on Halloween.
On Friday morning, Englund, 78, was honored with the 2,826th star on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.
At the ceremony, where he was honored in the Motion Pictures category, he wore the bladed glove used by the supernatural serial killer, whose victims are stalked in their dreams and then die in real life.
Aside from playing Krueger in nine of the 10 A Nightmare on Elm Street movies, Englund has starred in 78 films and was a guest star in numerous TV shows, including the fourth season of Stranger Things as a villain on Netflix.
"I love the smell of peanut butter cups in the morning, Happy Halloween," Englund said to the crowd at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Friday morning.
