Watch The Goldbergs season 6, episode 5 online
By John Dotson
This week on The Goldbergs, Robert Englund reprises his famous Nightmare role of Freddy Krueger. Find out where you can watch this special Halloween episode tonight!
Last week on The Goldbergs, Adam decided his mother Beverly should stop chaperoning him on school field trips. This led to a devious plan by Beverly to guilt trip her son into submission by writing him awful letters about how ungrateful he is as a son. Adam also found out that Beverly has been teaching her methods to the neighborhood parents. In the end, Adam and Beverly came to a compromise that he would talk to his mother more about his school life as long as she quit trying to chaperone him at school events.
This week we’re in for a treat as the episode takes us down a Nightmare on Elm Street. The episode titled “Mister Knifey-Hands” will feature a cameo from Robert Englund as Freddy himself and will involve Adam trying to convince his mother to let him watch the movie.
Honestly, it makes sense for The Goldbergs to pay respect to this horror franchise because during the 80s it was virtually impossible not to be aware of Freddy. Even in my youth, I would see the posters of him and be mortified. Needless to say, it’s exciting to see the show honor the Wes Craven horror classic.

The episode will also see Erica come to terms with her lack of popularity and she attempts to solve the issue by pretending to be a student at William Penn Academy. This most likely will not end well considering she dropped out but maybe this will push her back into college.

"Despite Beverly’s wishes, Jackie’s parents allow Adam to watch “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and a disagreement between the families ensues. But Beverly dreams of facing off with horror icon Freddy Krueger (guest star Robert Englund), which teaches her an important lesson about her son’s relationship with Jackie.
