A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985)
Learning Beyond the Classics
Directed by Jack Sholder
With Mark Patton, Kim Myers, Robert Rusler
Rated R, 87 minutes, Blu-ray
Of all the streets in Springwood, Ohio, high schooler Jesse Walsh’s (Mark Patton) family could have chosen to move to, they chose Elm Street. Worse still, they moved into the former home of Nancy Thompson, who seemingly vanquished Freddy Krueger five years previously. Nancy left some crumbs, though. Freddy returns for revenge in this quick-turnaround sequel that gained a second life as its homoerotic themes made it both a cult classic and fodder for reappraisal from critics and academics alike, including the 2019 documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street about Patton’s difficulty both on the set and rebounding from his final boy turn in the film.
Free for ND, SMC, HC, and IUSB Students.
