SCREAM: What convinced you to accept the lead role of Nightworld?

ROBERT ENGLUND: Nightworld is one of the best scripts I have read for a while. It offered me the chance to play a type of character that I had never played before. It was challenging, and fun, and my character had some great lines. I’m the guardian of a mysterious building in the heart of Sofia, in Bulgaria. My character knows all its secrets, its history. He will be key to understanding the terrifying threat that comes from the very bowels of the building. It was fun to read and very well written, which is not common with lots of scripts I usually receive. And then it gave me the chance of going back to work with Loris Curci, the producer.
