Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street

About this movie

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. 30 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 begin. Confronting the cast and crew for the first time, Mark attempts to make peace with his past as well as embrace his legacy as cinema's first male scream queen.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing film to put many things of my childhood into context. This allows you into the world of an actor/movie in which we don't get to view that often. Thank you for opening up and allowing me to see behind the scenes of one of my favourite movies.
