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.

Seen the remake. Seen the 1st one. that was it till the documentary came along. Well done.
An extremely well crafted documentary that balances out the personal impact on Mark and the wider impact of the movie itself in good measures. Great to see the outcast of the nightmare series getting its dues and being seen in a different light. Highly recommended
Interesting and timely. Truth about an era that had a lot of great pop culture, but society had a long way to go (and still does).
Very well-made and quite interesting. Mark Patton has a great story to tell.
Awesome movie. As far as horror movie documentaries go, this one is among the best.
