'Happy V Day!': Robert Englund Reflects on His Alien Invasion Series 41 Years Later
Shortly before changing the horror genre forever with his role as Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street, Robert Englund appeared in V, a sci-fi series that originally debuted in 1983. 41 years later, Englund reflected on the series with a post shared on social media.
"Happy V day! Original miniseries was released in 83," Englund said in a Facebook post, going on to share how the show wasn't initially envisioned as sci-fi. "The series was originally intended to be a political thriller about a fascist movement in the United States, inspired by Sinclair Lewiss 1935 novel It Cant Happen Here. However, network executives changed the series to science fiction to capitalize on the success of other science fiction hits."
