Historia

Mark Patton (born September 22, 1958) is an American interior designer and former actor. Patton grew up in Riverside, Missouri and, after graduating high school, he moved to New York City to pursue an acting career. Within a few years he landed the role of Joe Qualley in the 1982 Broadway production of Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. Patton reprised the role in the 1982 film of the same name. In 1985 Patton landed the lead role in the horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge portraying Jesse Walsh, a teen whose body becomes possessed by Freddy Krueger. Patton, who is openly gay, gave up on his acting career following being cast in a planned CBS series in which he would have played a gay character. The reason being the strong homophobia he perceived in Hollywood at that time. After that, years later, he had a hard time struggling with HIV (was diagnosed on his 40th birthday). Upon recovering, he moved to Mexico, where he currently lives happily married. Patton appears in the A Nightmare on Elm Street documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, directed by Dan Farrands. Following his appearance in the documentary Patton began touring horror conventions where he is lauded as mainstream cinema's first male "scream queen". After the success he started some projects concerning his life experiences with film (including books and a documentary called "There is no Jesse").

ICON: The Robert Englund Story
Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become one of our generation's most beloved horror icons. Englund has risen to stand shoulder to shoulder in the pantheon of movie legends alongside such greats as Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney's werewolf or Karloff's ground-breaking realisation of Frankenstein's monster. Yet few realise the depths of England's true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green jumper. A classically trained actor and talented director, Englund has starred in many well-received movies in the years since Freddy's cinematic birth as well as directing his own feature film.

Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street
Self
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.
