Episode 37: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge"

“We’ve got the podcast, and you’ve got the ears.” This week our hosts continue digging into the slasher genre with 1985’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, the black sheep of the Nightmare franchise. Originally dismissed for not following the format established by fan-favorite part 3, it has since been looked at with new eyes for its… less than subtle… subtext exploring teenage homosexuality. But does that mean it holds up as a film?

Be sure to check out Mark Patton’s documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street as well as the segment in Crystal Lake Memories for lots of crazy details in the making of this film.
