From Dead Mouse Productions Ltd and Cult Screenings UK Ltd, makers of Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, You're so cool, Brewster! The Story of Fright Night and RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop and Pennywise: The Story of IT comes this brand-new documentary ICON: The Robert Englund Story. A fully independent retrospective documentary which will explore who the man behind the mask and glove truly is, charting his early days in TV and Film to his current stratospheric status in the horror universe. Including intimate interviews with friends and colleagues as well as the man himself ICON will answer the fundamental question ‘was playing an iconic movie character a gift or a double-edged sword for such versatile and talented actors?’
With exclusive interviews with the man himself and supported by dozens of the cast and crew of Robert’s movies as well as Horror Icons including Eli Roth, Corey Taylor, Adam Green, Dennis Christopher, Kane Hodder, Heather Langenkamp, Miko Hughes, Stephen Geoffreys, Ken Kirzinger, Robert Kurtzman and many more. ICON will cover some of Robert’s classic movies including Nightmare on Elm Street, The Mangler, The Phantom of the Opera, Wishmaster, Urban Legend, 976-Evil, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Dance Macabre and many more. ICON is made by fans of the Robert Englund’s work for fans of Robert Englund’s work. The crew have already received support from over 50 of the cast and crew of Robert’s many films and there is no doubt that by the time of production many more key players will be attached to share their amazing stories about one of the most iconic character actors in Hollywood.
ICON will also explore the fandom of Horror icons such as Kane Hodder, Andrew Divoff, Michael Berryman, Eli Roth, Bill Moseley, Tony Todd as well as many others and how cinema has created such iconic and memorable horror characters in the same vein as Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger!
The documentary is made as a labour of love by a team of Robert Englund fans and this is YOUR unique opportunity to get on board and not only be part of this amazing project BUT make it a reality.

Projects like this rely on the fans; this project is a labour of love and a love letter to the countless Robert Englund fans around the world. Without your support this project may not be completed.
Pledgees must take into consideration the logistics of producing a 2-hour documentary, our aim is release by October 2020. However, as we have already undertaken a large-scale project like this with Leviathan, Brewster and RoboDoc - We are only too aware of production delays - for all sorts of reasons. Documentary projects are long production processes and we do have multiple teams working on our projects.
If there are any delays YOU would be informed straight away and kept up-to-date on the projects production.
The biggest reason for production delays is quite simply that the entire crew have day jobs and other projects, however we have factored that into our delivery estimates.
Please note that international deliveries may take longer due to customs and postage regulations.
We have a dedicated team behind this project and are supported by endless members of the cast and crew.
