Wes Craven: I Always Encouraged Robert Englund to Produce Freddy Krueger His Own
A self-described “theater boy” who's–get this!–straight and married … to a woman, Englund recently told The Advocate's Jase Peeples that when he saw kingly queens dressed as the heroine in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street shortly after the 1985 release, he knew the flick had legs with gays.
“I remember I went to a party for Halloween in Hollywood shortly after the first Nightmare came out, and there were already men doing kingly as Nancy–full flamboyant, in the pajamas with the embroidery, and the colorless streak in the hair,” Englund recalled. “It was fabulous!”
He figured it was the fierceness of Nancy Thompson, as portrayed by Heather Langenkamp, that struck a chord.
“There's always been a fantastic affection in the gay community, and I share this from my signal of view as a heterosexual, for the survivor and the diva,” Englund exp
Robert Englund wants to toy with a boys' sexuality and torment autistic kids in new Freddy Kruger remake
"Englund explained, “If they redid Nightmare 2, for instance, and really deal with the subtext, Freddy toying with that boy’s sexuality. But the fact that we’re much more cozy with that now, I think it would be really fun to hold Freddy play with one kid who’s gay. Maybe one boy is not. Play with them. Tempt them. Coerce him out of the closet or back into the closet and we can do that,” he elaborated.
His next idea would be to look at the drug elements from A Nightmare on Elm Highway 3.He detailed, “Again, you look at Nightmare 3, the fan favorite “Dream Warriors,” you crave to take that place where they all meet and maybe some of the kids are there for drug rehab. You hold to push all those things a little further. Whatever their problems are, really have amusement with one of the kids creature OCD and contain Freddy exploit that? I think we could because it’s 2020 now,” he elaborated.
He then detailed that the production could include an autistic actor. “Get an autistic thespian and really compete with that and how Freddy would torment him. But I think that’s the kind of way you possess to fre
The producers of the four-hour 2010 documentary Never Sleep Again, which aimed to provide a conclude history of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, had to hire a private investigator to find the star of the series’ most infamous feature, 1985’s Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. Mark Patton, who was in his mid-twenties when he played Jesse Walsh in Nightmare on Elm Street 2, had quit Hollywood altogether and gone off the grid, eventually moving to Puerto Vallerta, where he’d been running a small art store with his partner.
These days, Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge has acquired lgbtq+ cult status, widely celebrated as one of the gayest horror movies of all time. But until the Never Sleep Again team reached out to him, Patton had no idea that Freddy’s Revenge had attracted a new cadre of passionate fans. All he knew was what he’d known at the time: everyone hated it, and everyone hated him, too.

I'll have to examine it out.

For the most part, the original three are where it's at. Maybe it's just nostalgia, since those were the ones that made an impact on me as a kid, and the latter ones just didn't impress me much even after a couple of viewings. I even watched Craven's New Nightmare again not too long ago and it still doesn't really do it for me either.
