The horror legends in Natty Knocks

The aforementioned Englund certainly knows a thing or two about serial killer movies. He famously starred as supernatural slasher Freddy Krueger in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, playing the character in seven films and a television show from 1984 to 1994. Englund’s most recent turn as Freddy came in the 2003 film Freddy vs. Jason, a crossover with the Friday the 13th franchise.

Harris is also an icon in the world of slasher films. She starred as Jamie Lloyd in the 1988 film Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and its 1989 sequel, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. On that note, Natty Knocks actually reunites Harris with director Dwight H. Little, who helmed Halloween 4.

Of course, Harris eventually returned to the Halloween franchise in 2007 for Rob Zombie’s remake. In that film, Harris played Annie Brackett, a role occupied by Nancy Kyes in John Carpenter’s 1978 original. Harris reprised her role as Annie in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II in 2009.

Finally, Moseley is known for his roles in films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Night of the Living Dead (1990), and Rob Zombie’s Firefly trilogy. Moseley has even worked with both Englund and Harris in the past. He appeared alongside Englund in an episode of the Nightmare on Elm Street spinoff series Freddy’s Nightmares in 1989. He later appeared opposite Harris in Rob Zombie’s Halloween in 2007.
