First Pictures Of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger

I was one of the few people that was ok initially when they announced that they would be doing a remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street WITHOUT the legendary Robert Englund returning to play the role of Freddy. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Englund as Freddy… but if you’re going to do a remake… then do a remake and get a new cast.

Then we were all thrilled when we heard that Jackie Earle Haley (Oscar Nominated actor most recently seen in Watchmen) would be taking up the glove to play Freddy Krueger.

Now our friends over at JoBlo have snagged our first glimpse at Haley as Krueger… apparently before he gets sweet burning mob justice from angry parents that disfigures him. Check out the full pics here.
