Bones is about to get a whole lot scarier.

On April 15, Robert Englund - the man that first stepped into the role of Freddy Krueger in Nightmare on Elm Street - will guest star on the Fox hit.

He'll play the role of Ray Buxley, a janitor that works at Brennan’s former high school and possesses a fondness for taxidermy. As the actor said to TV Guide Magazine, which published the first photo (below) of Englund on the show:

“He befriended Bones back when she was a wallflower in high school, and is still carrying a torch for her... He doesn’t like Booth at all!”

That would place Ray in the minority - and possibly place Booth in danger when this episode airs.
