He got his big break as a long finger-nailed killer, played a creepy janitor on Bones and will now take on the role of an evil scientist on Chuck.

Sounds about right for Robert Englund, doesn't it?

The actor who originated the villainous character of Freddy Krueger will guest star on this NBC show's Halloween episode, titled “Chuck Versus Aisle of Terror.” As mentioned above, he'll portray a doctor whose lab you probably want to avoid.

Englund joins a looooooooong list of notable season four guest stars on Chuck. Among them: Linda Hamilton, Timothy Dalton, Eric Roberts, Lou Ferrigno, Olivia Munn, Nicole Richie, Old Spice Guy, and Dolph Lundgren.

It returns with new episodes on September 20.
