NEW YORK – November 3, 2011 – Look out Betty, Cloris and Colin – there’s a new Bickerman in town! Horror icon Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger/Nightmare on Elm Street) will star in the upcoming Syfy Saturday Original Movie Lake Placid: The Final Chapter, it was announced today by Thomas Vitale, Executive Vice President, Programming and Original Movies, Syfy.

Following Betty White, Cloris Leachman, and Colin Ferguson — who were all part of the Bickerman clan in previous Lake Placid movies — Englund will play Jim Bickerman, a poacher looking to score a big break on hides and eggs from these rare crocs. In Lake Placid: The Final Chapter, which will co-star Elisabeth Rohm (Law and Order) and Yancy Butler (Kick-Ass), attempts to contain the giant crocs of Black Lake fail, and now it’s up to the new Sheriff (Rohm) to stop the latest rampage.
