Freddy Keger actor Robert Englund talks about the gay subtext the 'Nightmare on Elm Street 2.' * gay nightmare *

Watchg Freddy’s Revenge now, ’s hard to prehend that there was ever a bate over the film’s subtext, which be jt pla text the more blatantly homoerotic scen. And even though Patton has embraced his “scream queen” stat — he had jt e om signg tographs and panel appearanc at San Diego Comic-Con this July afternoon — he remas driven by a need to set the rerd straight about the film that has hnted him for the past 30 Patton, whose only major film role before he played Jse was as a gay teenager later revealed to be a trans woman (played by Karen Black) Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, the persistent cricism of Freddy’s Revenge was s own kd of nightmare: His sexual inty was exriated for g the film — and wh , his reer. At the same time, even as the AIDS crisis cimated the gay muny, Patton was forced to stay the closet, rtricted by a bs he eventually chose to leave the stigmatizatn of queer reprentatn over the last 30 years, perceptn of Freddy’s Revenge has shifted: The heavily d queerns that was once a mark agast has bee a charmgly dated relic of another time, and a sellg pot for cult nnoissrs.

BIG GAY NIGHTMARE

* gay nightmare *

Inial reviews, though largely negative, did not pot out the film’s homoerotic slant, although Variety lled Patton’s Jse “strange enough to nstute an outsir prence, ” a scriptor that certaly signifi is some bate over where the first direct mentn of the film’s gay subtext appeared.

While there’s no doubtg the opprsive homophobia of 1980s Hollywood, the specific circumstanc surroundg the film are often a matter of "he said, he said. ”By ntrast, Patton sists that Chask, stead of merely stayg quiet, repeatedly placed the blame for the queer terpretatn of the film on Patton’s “too gay” performance, rather than on the script.

“I don’t rell any terview where I would have ed the words ‘too gay’ but if I implied somethg like that and/or said anythg to e Mark grief, I certaly apologize, ” he wrote.

HOW A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2 BEME AN INIC GAY HORROR FILM (AFTER YEARS OF BEG HATED)

“He’s si me, and he wants to take me aga!” Homosexualy and Gay Fandom A Nightmare On Elm Street: Freddy’s Revenge * gay nightmare *

Deliberately or otherwise, Patton’s associatn wh what me to be known as the “gayt horror film ever ma” — while he was beg told to keep his sexualy a secret — left lastg srs.

It had always been a fe le to walk: While gog to gay bars wasn’t somethg you had to hi 1970s New York, “you didn’t go to an dn and talk to the stg director about beg gay, ” he Patton ma his 1982 Broadway but Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean — playg the same queer character he would play the film adaptatn later that year — The Advote requted an terview wh him. ’” It’s possible that some of the addns to the film that Patton terpreted as homoerotic — and that the movie’s large queer fanbase has e to accept as such — were not directly tend to be.

”“I mean, clearly [there’s] the gay S&M bar, and the ass-whippg and all of the other stuff, and some of the l that people have picked up on, like, ‘He’s si me, ’” Sholr said.

Insir spoke to several Afghan gay men. One activist said he fears that gay people Afghanistan will be "weed out and extermated" by the Taliban. * gay nightmare *

“This is all kd of hdsight, but may be that the fact Mark was a closeted gay at that pot, or at least as far as the film bs went, that that was part of what was g through there, ” Sholr suggted of why Freddy’s Revenge read as queer.

“Homophobia was skyrocketg and I began to thk about our re dience — adolcent boys — and how all of this stuff might be tricklg down to their psych at an age when ragg hormon often produce dreams and urg that make them (if only unnscly) beg to qutn their own sexualy, ” Chask wrote.

In a follow-up email to BuzzFeed News, Patton said, “David apologized to me the most general way about offendg me the prs and on film, but nnot rell ever havg said I was too gay. It wasn’t that he wasn’t beg offered parts, he said, but that he was emotnally draed by what happened wh A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and fed up wh the homophobic culture of 1980s Hollywood.

SCREAM, QUEEN! AND THE LEGACY OF THE “GAY” NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

It was through nventns and the horror muny at large that Patton realized the posive effect Freddy’s Revenge had on so many fans, particularly queer people who so rarely see themselv reprented sce Patton had purposely extrited himself om Hollywood — and distanced himself om any discsn of Freddy’s Revenge — he was surprised to learn that the movie had transned om disappotg failure the ey of Nightmare fans to a cult gay classic. And he was even more surprised to fd out that he’d bee an unr-the-radar gay in — after all, his other major role was as a queer teenager a movie -starrg Cher.

When asked specifilly, per Patton’s claim, that he had exploed the homophobic atmosphere at the time for the film, Chask wrote, “When you put that way, sounds almost diabolil. 1930sThe Old Dark Hoe (1932)One of the first openly gay filmmakers any genre, horror or otherwise, Jam Whale directed several spooky stori have been reterpreted through a queer lens. While many of the lbian vampire films of old ed the predatory lbian and “bury your gays” trop, this 1936 horror film is an trospective piece that leans to the experience of ternalized homophobia.

Dorian may be a typil Evil Gay (and arguably the origal Murr Twk), but society helped force his hand: Had he not had to hi his te self, he might not have gotten so good at hidg his actual crim. Screenwrg and theater legend Arthur Lrents — who was gay real life and romantilly volved wh the film’s -star, Farley Granger — claimed later life that he liberately wrote the film so the dience would realize the characters were gay, whout explicly sayg so due to Hays Co censorship and ntemporaneo attus.

ROBERT ENGLUND SAYS WE'RE READY FOR A GAY 'NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2'

But his greatt gay baddie is the famo Bno (Robert Walker) Strangers on a Tra — a vilishly charmg chap who, like so many other homosexuals, has a penchant for plans and schem. From the moment the director’s mera began panng through the real gay leather bars of downtown New York, the queer muny, already a prer social posn, unrstandably objected to the film’s nflatn of BDSM practic wh real-world vlence. While Robert Hiltzik’s 1983 slasher has unrstandably garnered a lot of cricism for beg trans- and homophobic, has also unrgone a reappraisal recent years by queer horror fans who see more here: The mpy nature of the unprofsnal performanc (’s one of the only teen slashers to have ed actual teens s st), Felissa Rose’s portrayal of the quiet Angela (whose bulli all end up vlently murred), and the preference for explog the male body over the female body all speak to a film that might be more queer-posive than you would thk, given s reputatn.

THERE’S NOTHG REMOTELY NEW ABOUT A SLEW OF FLUENCERS APPEARG ON REALY TELEVISN TO ELEVATE THEIR PERSONAL BRANDS. IF ANYTHG, THE REAL FRIENDS OF WEHO IS JT MORE TRANSPARENT ABOUT S TENTNS. THE FABRIC OF THE ST’S PRE-EXISTG NNECTNS IS TH AT BT. “I MIGHT NOT DIRECTLY KNOW EXACTLY WHO THE PEOPLE ARE,” BRAD SAYS. “BUT I KNOW PEOPLE, WHO KNOW PEOPLE, WHO KNOW PEOPLE.” AT LEAST OTHER REALY SHOWS, THE PRODUCERS HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO NSTCT NVOLUTED WAYS TO TERTWE THE ST. THROWG A BUNCH OF MAMMOTH EGOS TO A ROOM TOGETHER DO NOT NSTUTE A PLOTLE.BUT EACH OF THE ST MEMBERS KNOWS WHO TODRICK HALL IS, AND THEY’RE ALL A LTLE AAID. EVEN BRAD, WHO WAS ALREADY IENDLY WH TODRICK BEFORE THE MERAS WENT UP, SEEMS WARY OF BEG ASSOCIATED WH TODRICK THIS PACY. AND FOR GOOD REASON! NOT ONLY HAS TODRICK BEEN RECENTLY ORRED BY A JUDGE TO PAY BACK $100,00 UNPAID RENT FOR HIS WT HOLLYWOOD HOME, BUT HE’S ALSO BEEN ACCED OF NOT PAYG THE DANCERS WHO HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WH HIM HIS REER. ADDRSG THE ALLEGATNS, TODRICK SIMPLY SPS SOME SP ABOUT BEG SELF-FUND AND WORKG HARD, NEVER REALLY NYG ANYTHG.THE SHOW’S PRODUCERS ARE WORKG OVERTIME TRYG TO PORTRAY TODRICK AS THE SHOW’S VILLA, WHILE HE THKS OF HIMSELF AS THE STAR. IN FACT, EACH MEMBER OF THE ST IS CLEARLY NSUMED WH THEIR OWN LNS OF GRANUR. THERE’S A CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SELF-NFINCE AND SELF-IMPORTANCE, AND NONE OF THE ST HAS BEEN ABLE TO CRACK A DICTNARY TO FIGURE THAT OUT. LEAST OF ALL JOEY, WHO SPENDS ALL OF HIS TIME ON MERA PLAG ABOUT BEG MARGALIZED FOR BEG A GEO FLUENCER, SPE THE FACT THAT HE SOMETIM—GASP!—HAS SECURI. IF WE HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY GAY MAN WHO BEME A MCLE QUEEN BEE THEY WERE SECURE ABOUT BEG 10 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT WHEN THEY WERE 13, WE WOULDN’T BE REENG TOWARD A RECSN. BUT, TO JOEY’S CRED, DORIóN IS STRICTLY ANTI-FLUENCER, A POT HE MAK CLEAR TO OM THE BEGNG. DORIóN’S SKRE LE IS HIGHLY SUCCSFUL (WHICH HE REERAT NONSTOP), AND HE HAS NO TIME FOR ANYONE WHO THKS HAVG A BIG SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWG EQUAT TO HAVG A REER. “A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE HOLLYWOOD THK THAT PUTTG A MERA ONT OF THEIR FACE AND TALKG TO THEIR PHONE ALL DAY MAK THEM A PROFSNAL,” DORIóN SAYS. “THAT’S NOT A JOB!”DORIóN’S DRAMA WH JOEY IS THE CX OF THE FIRST EPISO’S MANUFACTURED DRAMA, WH THE TWO MEN BUTTG HEADS AT JOEY’S ENGAGEMENT PARTY FOR HIM AND HIS FIANCé, WHO LOOKS LIKE HIS TW, NATURALLY. DORIóN KEEPS TO HIMSELF AT THE EVENT, LEADG JOEY TO NONT HIM ABOUT BEG ANTISOCIAL. BEE GAY PEOPLE ARE JT SOOOO ATTRACTED TO DISPLAYS OF THEATRICS, THIS A SLEW OF ACCATNS ABOUT JOEY’S REER (OR LACK THEREOF) TO FLY. “IT BRGS ME NO JOY TO SAY THAT THE REAL FRIENDS OF WEHO STKS AS BADLY AS THE ALLEY DUMPSTER BEHD THE ABBEY AFTER JOCKSTRAP NIGHT.” THOUGH THE EPISO ENDS ON A “TO BE CONTUED…,” FEELS UNLIKELY THAT ANY VIEWERS WHO ARE ALREADY RELUCTANTLY TUNG TO THE REAL FRIENDS OF WEHO WILL BE BACK FOR MORE NEXT WEEK. FOR LACK OF A CLEAR PLOTLE, THE SHOW ULD AT LEAST GENERATE SOME MEMORABLY DISHY DISPUT. BUT ONE PERSISTENT QUTN KEPT POPPG UP MY MD THROUGHOUT THE PREMIERE: “WHO R?” THERE’S NO FUN WATCHG A BUNCH OF TTY GAY MEN FIGHT ABOUT WHO MAK MORE MONEY OR WHO SLEPT WH WHO. I N’T EVEN IMAGE WT HOLLYWOOD’S ACTUAL RINTS BEG ENTERTAED.THE REAL FRIENDS OF WEHO IS ENTIRELY TOO AWARE OF WHAT IS AND HOW ’S PERCEIVED. THE FIRST EPISO EVEN CLUS A NFSNAL WH TODRICK WHERE HE DISCS THE ONLE BACKLASH AFTER THE SHOW’S FIRST PROMO WAS RELEASED, JT THREE WEEKS AGO. TODRICK’S RPONSE VERS THE ACTUAL SHOW’S EXISTENCE BT HIGHLIGHTS THE DISNNECT THAT ACTUR THE SERI OM THE VERY START. MTV WANTS TO E DRAG RACE AS A FLAGSHIP ANCHISE TO LNCH A NEW PROPERTY, AND THE SIX STARS OF THE REAL FRIENDS OF WEHO SEE AS A PAYCHECK AND BRANDG OPPORTUNY, RATHER THAN A JOB. THAT MEANS THAT NO ONE IS ACTUALLY NSIRG WHAT DIENC ULTIMATELY WANT TO SEE, BEE SURE AS HELL IS NOT THIS.WHAT ULTIMATELY LANDS ON OUR TELEVISNS ISN’T EVEN OFFENSIVE ENOUGH TO MAKE THE (EXTREMELY TACKY AND UNFUNNY) JOKE THAT THIS SHOW SETS THE GAY MUNY BACK BY 50 YEARS, BEE SIMPLY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO DO SO. TO SET BACK PROGRS, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO IMPOSE A THREAT. BUT NO ONE HERE IS VTED ENOUGH TO PUT THAT MUCH ENERGY TO THE SHOW. AT LEAST THE REAL HOEWIV HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO STEP ON EACH OTHER’S NECKS TO GET TO THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHA; THE REAL FRIENDS N’T EE THEIR HEADS OM THEIR OWN ASS LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT A POSSIBILY.SIGN UP FOR OUR SEE SKIP NEWSLETTER HERE TO FD OUT WHICH NEW SHOWS AND MOVI ARE WORTH WATCHG, AND WHICH AREN’T.
