Elm Street 2 Star Mark Patton Embraces His Status as a Queer Horror Icon in Scream, Queen!
“It’s a blast; I’m superproud of it. If I wasn’t, I’d let history bury it,” Mark Patton says of the flick that was supposed to make him a star, 1985’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. Patton wound up having a complicated relationship with the Freddy Krueger sequel that was lambasted by critics but cleaned up at the box office.
