After I already rewatched the slasher movie “Jeepers Creepers 2” for you, I want to introduce you to “Nightmare on Elm Street 2″, our second hot contestant in the race for the “Gayest Mainstream Horror Movie Of All Times” award. It’s another sequel whose homosexual tendencies are not just based on undertones: In the clip of the documentary “Never Sleep Again” the blog fourfour posted yesterday script writer David Chaskin confirms that the gay side of the movie was intentional, while leading actor Mark Patton, who later turned out to be gay himself, explains that he understood that his character was intended to be confused teenager and actually played it that way.

And just for the record: The rest of the production team claims they were completely unaware of what was going on. The clip of the documentary has unfortunately been deleted from YouTube today, so all I can offer now are the following bunch of clips from the movie I found on YouTube and this link to an older post of fourfour where the movie’s gay “subtext” is explored on the basis of a series of movie stills.
