Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street
Directed by Roman Chimienti, Tyler Jensen
Some have called it the 'gayest horror movie ever made!' But for Mark Patton, the star of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, it was anything but a dream come true. Detailing the homophobia and Aids-phobia of 1985 as a closeted actor in Hollywood, Mark retraces his obstacles, missteps, and detractors on the pathway to stardom. 35 years after its initial release, Patton is hitting the road to set the record straight about the controversial sequel and the experience that halted his career before it even began. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.

It's heartbreaking. I loved the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, and I always knew the second film was the odd ball out because of its reputation. Very good to see how society has changed in the last few decades. They say time can heal all wounds. I believe that's true, and I hope Mark Patton gets a big second chance and some horror director casts him in a project. Shudder? Make it happen!
An important story I feel everyone should hear.
I thought this movie was great.
A story worth hearing.
Excellent doc
