A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge
Much has been made since A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 was released—it came out in 1985, a year after the original—about its not-so-subtle queer themes. (There’s an entire documentary about it: Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street, which you can and should watch on Tubi.) Whether or not you keep that context in mind, Mark Patton makes for an appealing lead—bringing emotional depth (and some goofy dance moves) to a sequel that tried to do something different, both with its story and its Freddy Krueger lore. Stream on Netflix.
