En el momento del estreno de Pesadilla en Elm Street 2: la venganza de Freddy críticos y espectadores notaron que algo iba más allá de la mera continuación de la franquicia que el año anterior se había iniciado: El film hoy ostenta el estatus de film de culto por ser una de las primeras muestras de cine de horror abiertamente queer, condición del guión que aparentemente escapó al equipo de producción en la filmación, que ni siquiera supo que su protagonista, Mark Patton, era un actor abiertamente gay. Así, por una serie de imprevistas casualidades, Elm Street 2 se ha convertido en una de las entregas más discutidas de la saga. 30 años después, y de la mano de su estrella, ahora retirada de la actuación, nos llega Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street, un documental que explora la temática homoerótica del film así como el clima no especialmente receptivo del Hollywood de los 80 hacia la homosexualidad.
