Mark's Hollywood Nightmare
24 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This documentary features Mark Patton, the star of the 1985 horror sequel, "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge." Mark played Jesse Walsh, the new kid on Elm Street who gets possessed by Freddy Krueger. Mark gives his compelling perspective of his life from growing up, his sexuality, becoming an actor, the fear of the media, the 80's Aids Epidemic, filming the nightmare sequel and walking away from Hollywood to embracing his cult status of becoming a male scream queen. There's also interviews with his spouse, assistant, fans, and Nightmare 2 cast, Robert Englund, Kim Myers, Robert Rusler, Marshall Bell, Clu Gulager, Joann Willette, director Jack Shoulder, and writer David Chaskin. I thought this was an emotional yet insightful documentary. I met Mark at a convention a few years back, he's a great guy and I don't blame him because the media can be very cruel. If you're a fan of Mark, Nightmare 2 or horror in general, check this out.
