Freddy Krueger Battles Kryptonian Supervillian Ursa in British Indie-Comedy 'Strippers Vs Werewolves'

Robert Englund joins the cast of the British indie comedy/horror film STRIPPERS VS WEREWOLVES. He joins Sarah Douglas who's best known for playing the Kryptonian supervillain Ursa in the SUPERMAN films. Sounds like a fun cast, any movie is bettered by the inclusion of Robert Englund in my book. The man is a great talent who is rightfully known for his ioconic portrayal of Freddy Krueger in the A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET series but the man has been around  for quite awhile and racked up a number of classic genre films including Tobe Hooper's EATEN ALIVE (1977), DEAD AND BURIED (1981), THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1989) plus the more recent JACK BROOKS: MONSTER SLAYER (2007). He's also directed a few fright flick his own self; 976-EVIL (1988) and KILLER PAD (2008), both fun b-movie fare. I'm definitely looking forward to STRIPPERS VS WEREWOLVES.
