Review – Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street

The second Nightmare on Elm Street movie isn’t one I’ve given a lot of thought to. I’ve seen it a couple of times, but it isn’t a personal fave. However, I found this documentary about its star fascinating. Mark Patton was a young gay actor trying to establish a career in the middle of the AIDS panic, and starring in a horror movie that explored homosexual themes turned out to be a bad move. Naturally a lot of the story is tragic stuff, but it’s a good portrait of the bigotry in the movie industry at the time. Worth seeing
