The story behind 'the gayest horror movie ever made'

Roman Chimienti's documentary provides the stories behind A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge and its impact on audiences and actors. The film made Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger a pop cultural icon; in sharp contrast Mark Patton ('Jesse', the first male 'scream queen') disappeared entirely from view after its release. In this documentary, he talks about the impact of this cult classic that was shot during the brutal AIDS epidemic.
