The first reported death from SUNDS, aka Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome, was in 1977. The fatalities occurred after the Refugee Act of 1980 resettled many Hmong refugees from Southeast Asian countries. This strange disease has been investigated by the Center for Disease Control at length, but no satisfactory answer has ever been provided.

No matter how much special effects makeup he wears, or how thick of an accent his characters may have, you instantly recognize Robert Englund in any film he’s in. Once he shows up as a creepy redneck, an eccentric doctor, or a hapless alien, we all instantly turn into that Leonardo DiCaprio meme. His most recognizable character, of course, is Freddy Kruger, the dream-stalking child murderer with a razor glove. Unless you’re a horror fan, Robert Englund and Freddy Kruger are one in the same, much to the chagrin of many, including I’m sure, Englund himself.
