A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge
Fred Krueger! He’s inside me, and he wants to take me again! This week PJ and Derek present a message by special guest Charlie Suor before discussing Jack Sholder’s polarizing sequel that traded dream logic for psychological horror in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985). In this episode the guys unpack the film’s infamous legacy, its haunting portrayal of identity and repression, and the ways Freddy Krueger evolves from dream-stalker to a symbol of internal torment. 📺
Check out Charlie’s work on his website or his list of Queer Horror films on Letterboxd.
Here is the list of questions we had Charlie ponder while watching Freddy’s Revenge:
- Had you seen this film before or was this your first time viewing?
- What did you know about this film before watching? Did it live up to what you had heard?
- Do you like Freddy as a character? What did you think of how he was handled in this film vs the original?
- What was your favorite effect or sequence?
- What did you think of the main character? Does having a final boy stand out at all?
- Did you like the dance scene or think that it's cringe?
- Did the film resonate with you personally or can you see where it could resonate with those in the queer community?
- Do you think this does more good or bad for gay representation in film?
- Would you recommend this film? Any other queer horror you would recommend?
