A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 (1885) | Hollywood Gaslighting, Broken Lore, & Queer Slasher History

Hello Club Members and happy Sunday! Today we are wrapping up our June Pride Month lineup with the ultimate accidental queer horror classic: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)! This week, we are diving deep into why this movie is the definition of "funny bad," how Wes Craven openly hated it for completely ignoring the Freddy lore he established, and the dark Hollywood reality behind the scenes. We break down the heartbreaking story of lead actor Mark Patton, whose career was completely derailed by homophobic backlash, and expose the writer's decades-long gaslighting—initially blaming Patton for the film’s intense gay subtext, only to take credit for it years later once it achieved gay icon status. It’s a wild look at industry politics, unaddressed homophobia, and the wildest, queerest sequel in horror history. Today we're discussing our analysis, reviews, next week's episode reveal, and giving you our poll pitches for the week. Please give us a like, follow, and review and share with your friends and family. You can even share it with your gym teacher in the leather shorts, that's none of our business. Also, don't forget to keep an eye out on our IGs to vote on what you want us to cover next as we head into July! Staaaaaayyyy spooky!

Sleepaway Camp (1983) | Forced Gender Identity, Aggressive Crop Tops, & Queer Subtext

Hello Club Members and happy Monday! Today we are diving into our deep-dive analysis of the 1983 cult slasher classic Sleepaway Camp for our June Pride Month lineup! In this episode, we are breaking down everything from the hilariously unhinged background acting and aggressive 80s masculinity (crop tops, tiny shorts, and incel behavior) to complex girlhood dynamics and the intense queer subtext running through the entire film. We also tackle the massive debate: is this movie deeply transphobic, or an empathetic look at trans trauma and being forced into an identity you don't want? Heads up, club members, we do dive into the film’s sexual violence, including the infamous curling iron scene. Please give us a like, follow, and review and share with your friends and family. You can even share it with your weird aunt, that's none of our business. Also, don't forget to keep an eye out on our IGs to vote on what you want us to cover next!
