Summary

In 1985, Mark Patton starred in what later generations would dub “the gayest horror movie ever made,” A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. The sequel made Freddy Krueger into a pop culture icon, but Patton was never heard from again. After 30 years of living in near obscurity, Patton is back to talk about how his American Dream became a nightmare during the homophobic AIDS crisis in Hollywood and why he had to give it all up.
