I'll Be Right Back
These Gays, They’re Trying to Murder Me!
In this special Pride Month episode S2 E4: “These Gays, They’re Trying to Murder Me!” Asher and Kirsten take a deep dive into 1985’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge starring Mark Patton. Often billed as the “gayest horror movie of all time,” Freddy’s Revenge hit theaters during the height of the AIDS epidemic, drastically altering the course of Patton’s life and career.
Your hosts delve further into Patton’s story with the 2019 documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare On Elm Street, touch on other queer classics such as 1983’s Sleepaway Camp and 1990’s Nightbreed, and discuss the history of queer horror via Abigail Waldron’s 2022 book Queer Screams.
