Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street
Movie • 2019 • Documentary
ReportScream, Queen! examines the infamous homoerotic subtext and the special place the film holds in the Nightmare franchise as well as the gay film canon. Partly in thanks to evolving social mores, Nightmare on Elm Street 2 – which was considered controversial at the time of its release – is now being looked back upon with a new appreciation and fondness by horror aficionados and fans of the series.

NO BUT sexual assault in relations to cinematic analysis of the Nightmare franchise is fleetingly mentioned.

Barely. It's mainly very cheesy 80's effects, and they are all fleeting montages giving the gist of the series and not full fledged scenes.

A lot as he describes and shows examples of the homophobic abuse he has received.

Basically, yes. Basically, Mark Patton was bullied horrifically for being "like a girl" and in the movie he confronts the screenwriter for the movie who tells him that he made the movie gay for "screaming like a girl". Also, I discovered for the first time that the puzzling number of women in the "gay S&M bar scene" were supposed to be trans women were supposed to be "transvestites" (which I never knew as they were played by cis women. I had thought that they were just afraid to have too many men in the gay bar because "that would be too gay", but instead they were just using cis women because trans women would have been "too trans").

Yes. I'm sensitive to flashing lights. My take was I was able to watch it but had to avert my eyes a number of times. There weren't any literal strobes, but there were clips from the Nightmare movies with flashing lights and also the very quick cuts of scenes montaged together can also create a strong flickering effect on several occasions.

Sort of. The romantic partner of the person that the documentary is about dies of AIDS and it is a significant plot point in the storyline.

Sort of. There is a clip from the original nightmare movie where Freddy kills a teen in prison making it look like he killed himself in the jail cell. They cut away from it before he gets there, but it's clear what's happening.

Sort of. There is a 2-3 second shot of a fan at a horror convention wearing Freddy's syringe glove from Nightmare 3.
