Brief Story Introduction: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 –
Freddy’s Revenge (1985) stars Mark Patton as the “final girl” Jesse. Freddy
Krueger has returned to Elm Street and is haunting Jesse in his dreams. One
nightmare includes a particularly delicious sequence involving Jesse’s macho
gym teacher hanging out in a gay leather bar before he’s led into the
high-school gym showers where he is forcibly stripped of his leather gear,
whipped by towels and then slashed to death by Freddy’s razorblade nails. And
if that’s not gay enough, just wait until you see Jesse’s infamous bedroom
dance scene.
