    OK, I have heard about how queer A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge was, but somehow they still undersold it? I've seen Falcon Studios films that were less gay than this. Joe Gage's stuff was practically hetero in comparison to this. 😂

    A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET PART 2 I’m actually not a big fan of—what many call “gay subtext” I call homophobic, and to me it’s like the world’s grossest and most Freudian 1950s social hygiene film But you can’t say that about everything, can you

    I wonder sometimes if maybe I was wearing the wrong size because I've read others say they were the best. I have a certain fondness for them when I spot the waistband. I loved seeing them on Jesse (Mark Patton) in A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge.

    As a queermo who watched A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2 in maybe 1986/87 at a friend's house whose brothers traumatized me as being a little "f$ggot" I think it's that one. It did turn me on and what they called me seemed right? Damn, I've got to go to therapy again.

    213. A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), dir. Jack Sholder 7.5/10 A mostly great horror drama about the violence that sprouts from repressed homosexuality. It unfortunately falls apart near the end with how it conflates with everything that the movie was about before.

    Was off seeing A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's revenge at Cineworld tonight. Haven't seen it since the late 80's. I don't think it works at all as an Elm Street film. It certainly isn't scary. But had it been about a different character and not Freddy, I think it might have worked much better. #ANightmareOnElmStreetPart2 #FreddysRevenge #Horror #Cineworld #Film #CinemaMastodon
