When it was released in 1985, "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge"
was dubbed the gayest horror film ever made. For the film’s closeted
young star, Mark Patton, such a tag was a stark reminder about the
homophobia rampant in Hollywood at the time—and the painful experience
he had making the high-profile film and living through the polarizing
critical aftermath.
Patton—whose résumé includes stints on Broadway and a regarded role in Robert Altman's 1982 film Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean—wasn’t out of the ordinary for the time.
SCREAM QUEEN! My Nightmare on Elm Street highlights
Patton’s time in the horror spotlight and sets the record straight
about the controversial sequel, which ended his acting career just as it
was about to begin.
