"Fangs" for the information!

Greetings. Count Gregula here. I’m a local horror host/entertainer/reviewer along vith part-time movie extra out of the Chicagoland area. And, I just like to say, I’m pleased as PLASMA PUNCH to find out that the NEW “A Nightmare on Elm Street” movie is set to film in Chicago!! VOW! That movie holds a special place in my BLOODY heart ever since I met Robert Englund (the original Freddy Krueger) three times in the past and even have a pic vith him on my personal site! For a horror movie aficionado such as myself this is a Spook-tacular opportunity to be involved in a remake of a horror classic right in my very own “dark alley” this time around! *evil laugh* Seriously, I’m looking forvard to the updates!

Yours in Fright,

I just found this website today, thanks to Gina B for posting it on her facebook page. I will check in here daily to see what’s new.

I already sent in my candid photo and my data, so now I must wait for the call from Jon. I know of a few people who have already heard they’re working.
