A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985): "Drenched Man Count"

There’s some debate about whether the writer intended for it to be a canonically queer movie, but A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985) is pretty much the gayest thing we’ve ever seen. After one of our OG Spooky Crew members checked out the flick ahead of time, we knew we had to make it a part of our Pride Month Lineup — and we had to invite him to join us. On this week’s Spooky Tuesday, pal Danny Dunitz helps us break down not only the second film in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, but also star Mark Patton’s Scream, Queen! documentary about his experience with the role.
