The lead is a gay man who was dealing with his own personal sexuality at the time. He was actually quite distressed by making this because he felt like the screenwriter was calling him out but the subtext in terms of acting is DEFINITELY there. I think he lives I Mexico now running a small store with his husband.
I was re-watching some of your early reviews and it is quite fun seeing how you have progressed over the years, grown into your own and become much more relaxed and having a lot more fun. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you :) Lots of love all the way from Denmark ;)
I know, right?! I commented that they _should’ve_ watched NOES 3. IMO, it’s the only one in the series where the campiness and humor actually work really well with the horror elements.
Also, mark Patton (Jesse) has said that this movie made him leave the industry because of how mistreated he was. Because he is gay and everyone knew on set and the director basically did what Brett Radner did to Ellen page and traumatized him. they would show the dance scenes in gay clubs and he would get embarrassed and wanted nothing to do this movie, but eventually came around on it and has embraced being the first male scream queen and I would highly recommend watching dead meat's kill count on this movie. There are some good insights in that video.
Also the elm street house is hinted that it was his home when he was living. But part of the elm street films are Robert englund who is apparently a really nice person and very talkative. In the never sleep again doc, my favorite part is they show some behind the scenes of Robert getting into his Freddy makeup and just going on these little funny tangents and the fx people letting him talk because it would take 3-4 hrs for him to get into the makeup and when they let him talk it would help the time go by.
Mark Patton is the main actor. He made a documentary titled, "Scream Queen: My Nightmare on Elm Street". About his experience making the movie. Heh. Apparently you knew already. 🧐 From what I remember from the first movie. Freddy was a psycho child killer who escaped justice. So the parents of all the teens from the first movie went after him and burned him alive. The rhyme I think went 1,2 Freddy's coming for you. 3,4 better lock your door. 5,6 get a crucifix. 7,8 gonna stay up late. 9,10 never sleep again.
Nightmare 2 is a one off. It didn't work and that's why Nancy was brought back for the 3rd one. Nightmare 2 is the equivalent to Halloween 3 and Friday the 13th 5
Elm Street 2 is one of my favorites in the series, but not saying much as this isn't my slasher franchise! I am more of a Jason/Friday The 13th fan. That being said, I think this one really gets helped with the documentary about it, which came out this year, I think. It's just a lot under the surface, and I think Andrew gets the "gotta find gay things where you can" vibe this gave me growing up.
It's almost homophobic how this is Andrew's first introduction to "Nightmare On Elm Street" Series. This is a very different interpretation of The world but not the worst. The 3rd has Patricia Arquette and is non arguably the best in the franchise.
I recently rewatched your Troop Beverly Hills review (for probably the 10th-11th time because your review is amazing) and I remember Avaryl mentioning this specific outfit from Phyllis Nefler's amazing fashion from the movie and now Avaryl is wearing it!! Full circle moment!! And now we just need the pastel pink and purple dress!
I would always pick up the vhs box for all the Nightmare movies at our local piggly wiggly video rental store and always chickened out. The box art was quite lovely though. Jeepers Creepers is DEF a campy horror. Also School Bus to Hell is basically the magic school bus entering the body of a zombie or a demon and having to fight off whatever is in there...I think...
Me and my friends are starting Cocktober, and we're warming up the night with this review. 2:47 - 3:12 is the funniest thing ever to us all right now, the second time Avaryl fumbles ''blind spot'' and has that deer in the headlights moment before laughing with you, Andrew...that is some wholesome friendship right there.
Also some fun facts, renny harlin directed elm street 4. It was his first American film and that movie has more t&a and a scene where a guy fight a ghost Freddy (what I mean by that is nothing. He is literally fighting air) and another scene where a girl turns in cockroach which I think would scar Andrew.
This is not the movie to watch to get started on the Elm Street franchise. It's super gay, yes, and has an elusive and rare Final Boy, but it's also thematically and narratively a hot mess. You have to be committed to the Kruger mythos to enjoy this movie, IMHO. The later movies are easier entries into the series, when Freddy is goofy and shouts one liners at the camera (and is, frankly, the hero of the story).
All I got from this review is that you guys should’ve retro reviewed Outrageous Fortune. That walk Bette does in those heels serving Peggy Bundy realness is everything! Also, only $100 to get you guys to review a movie hrm..
Man oh man. I remember watching this as a child and being very into the coach. Come to think of it, It might be why I have a thing for leather daddies to this day. 🧐
The next Nightmare on Elm Street (dream warriors) redeems the franchise. A super young Patricia Arquette is in it. Edit: Also Lawrence Fishburne! How could I forget.
I hope you know, Andrew and Avaryl, that from here on out we the viewers expect, nay demand, you give us a scary movie review every Halloween. And it goes without saying you need to wear the most fabulous, OTT costumes imaginable (looking at you Andrew 😏 although you get points for the reference you need to step it up next year!) This time next year I want to see both of you in the most camp, detailed, obscure Halloween outfits you can think of and thats an order! All jokes aside love you guys and love your channel pls don't block me #JKKimora
I'm little bummed you didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped. I love this movie, but I'm also a huge special fx fan, which is why I love the elm street movies, because the Friday the 13th movies, are just kills kills kills, these are more conceptual because of the dream nature of it all. As a Freddy fan, I will help you out with the elm street lore (I've seen every movie, most of the never sleep again doc because 4 hrs long and I don't have the time and the elm street tv show which if you think this was not good, oh boy, don't watch that) Freddy is basically a dream demon. when he was alive, he got out of jail due to a techincality (the police officer did not read him his Miranda rights) and the parents of the children he murdered killed him in the boiler room of the warehouse (it is implied and in the remake explicitly stated that he was molesting the children) the lore changes from film to film but he does feed off of the fear of his victims and they originally intended on a pregnancy possession which they recycled and used in elm street 5. But this movie is kinda of the phantom menace of the series because it's not at all what wes craven wanted for the character. He was always supposed to be in dream world, never wanted to be a real person because in the end of the first movie, Nancy, the main character drags him into the real world in order to kill him which didn't work for reasons (money).
Hmmm... I do seem to recall someone saying in one of the films that they didn't read him his rights -- but in the first film, Nancy's mother says the technicality was that someone didn't sign the warrant in the right place.
Subtle homosexual undertones must have been a thing in 80s horror, because this whole convo sounds a lot like the same situation as the original Fright Night.
I completely get your dress shoes thing. 😆 I couldn't watch Star trek the next generation, because I kept being distracted by Picard's pants being too long. It looked like he was constantly melting 🤣
Love you both especially you Shelley Long, but you guys desperately needed a Nightmare expert on this one! Please watch the doc Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street for more context.
14:03 oh I LOVE The Hidden, absolutely recommend that film, it’s great. You wouldn’t know it was a low budget movie honestly, even just from the action scenes, the knew where to put their funds. And Kyle MacLaughlin is great (of course)
There is a lot missed in this review. The little things are what makes this movie great. The "probe" game in the closet, the "straight-up" pills Jessie takes to stay awake (right after his mom says he is looking "better", but they don't work), the bird catching on fire and the father saying "animals don't just catch flames for no reason" (There is a "reason" gay people are gay). The term 'flamer" or "flaming gay" being turned into an actual manifestation of fire. The fear he has of hurting him family (when he goes after his little sister) or the fact he isn't able to have sex with Lisa because of Freddie (the gay). There are layers there, but they aren't too obvious.
Fun fact: Mark Patton who played Jesse in this film was actually in the closet during the making of this film. while uncomfortable at the time with the material, He now embraces this film as making him the first male scream queen. & yes, it is freaky how much Lisa (Kim Myers) resembles the great Meryl Streep.
Seeing that shower-murder scene, I need to ask the writer if he was molested by his gym teacher in the showers, because damn, that really reads like a revenge scene. Maybe I'm going full Freud and reading too much into this 🤦
I took it as he was about to, which is why he took him to the school where he is an authority figure and why he pulled out the jump rope, so that he could bind him.
@53:21 THANK YOU. I personally don't like horror movies at all and have only seen a few (i'm trying to get into them more bc my boyfriend loves them and his favorite holiday is Halloween) and I ALWAYS think about that. Like we watched Cabin in the Woods recently and the scene with the Japanese girls in the classroom with their possessed classmate happened and I was like "...those little girls will never be the same after this."
Also The scene where Jesse and Grady “assume the position” is where they become friends because Jesse asks him what his problem with him is and Grady is just like nothing, I was just fucking with you. I believe that the undertones/homotones of their relationship is that Grady is in fact the one Jesse wants. Hence the whole line about Lisa is put it out there for Jesse and he instead wants to be with Grady in that moment. And then Freddy possesses Jesse and kills the object of lust.
Aww, y’all _definitely_ should’ve watched *NOES 3: Dream Warriors* instead! (Though I do understand why you went with 2.) It’s so damn campy and fun, and while it’s _far_ from a masterpiece, I genuinely think that you two really would’ve enjoyed it/yourselves. (Yes, even you, Andrew! Haha.) In fact, the only 2 NOES films I even bother rewatching ever, not including *Freddy VS Jason* , are 1 and 3. And _if_ I’m gonna choose to sit down and watch a NOES film just for me to enjoy, the 3rd one is what I’ll go for Every. Single. Time. Oh well! Maybe next year! Haha.)
Oh and also Renny Harlin did direct one of the nightmare on elm street movies. He directed the fourth one and it’s a fabulous trash baby and super 80s. It’s one of my favorites and I’d love if you guys reviewed that one too lol 😍
All of the Nightmare movies have a weird obsession with the house without explaining why Freddy is drawn to the house after Nancy's parents (who helped kill Freddy) are dead and/or move away?
What I like about this movie is how freddy actually represents the fear and threat both of homosexuality AND homophobia. I aso felt that the movie did not judge the main character for being a male scream queen, it also didnt ridicule the gym professor or the leather bar scene. It is a really fascinating document of a pre gay mainstream culture that goes places that a lot of horror will not go even today.
The new Child's Play actually does kinda deal with the aftermath of these serial monsters. Like she goes to a support group, but nobody believes her that Chucky is really. And I think the Boogeyman series does...but It's been a while since I watched those.
You need to watch Scream Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street. It’s a documentary mark Patton made essentially about the second film, his experience on it and in the industry.And the end result of all the crap he went through.
I had a film studies teacher who tried to tell us that Friday the 13th was New Queer Cinema because the boys screamed and that was gender bending. We said no that's ridiculous and the class the following day said she deleted the slide from the lecture.
Nightmare 1 is just a great horror classic. Nightmare 2 is this homoerotic mess. Nightmare 3 is a fun a campy joyful/scary ride. The rest is really bad.
Lol "Schoolbus to Hell", I think you'll find that is just the Jeepers Creepers sequels ironically. He basically becomes an evil version of Ms. Frizzle from the Magic Schoolbus by the 3rd one. But yeah, got what they were going for, Freddy preys on fear so they had him highjack the fear of homosexuality with a closeted male being the "final girl". Could have worked if it wasn't this weird thing that's also not a thing. Like it can fit with Freddy using his fear of being to get in his head, becoming an embodiment of that in his nightmares and gaining power and spreading again through that, kind of Silent Hill, the denons take the form pf your personal fears, but it didn't really pan out like that. But still helped horror, it was legit the only "gay" horror gay horror fans had for a very long time so I appreciate that it exists.
surprised they didn't like it as much as I would expect they would, but can't really disagree with any of their criticisms. I guess because when the movie came into my life I was happy with the "gay novelty" and that allows me to look at/remember it with nostalgia vs having a more critical analysis.
The lead is a gay man who was dealing with his own personal sexuality at the time. He was actually quite distressed by making this because he felt like the screenwriter was calling him out but the subtext in terms of acting is DEFINITELY there. I think he lives I Mexico now running a small store with his husband.
Also I kinda feel like a miss (t)opportunity to get crystal methyd to review it in her amazing Freddy outfit!
We better get a Jennifer's Body review someday
Oh, this NEEDS to happen!!
I need a 10 minute (at least) discussion about the "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane: The Musical" sign in the background of that one scene
🙌🙏*y e s*
Please !! This movie is so much fun !
YES please!!🤩
I was re-watching some of your early reviews and it is quite fun seeing how you have progressed over the years, grown into your own and become much more relaxed and having a lot more fun. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you :) Lots of love all the way from Denmark ;)
I cannot believe Avaryl hasn't seen this before. The whole Nightmare on Elm Street series is a campy mess. It's so damn fun
I know, right?! I commented that they _should’ve_ watched NOES 3. IMO, it’s the only one in the series where the campiness and humor actually work really well with the horror elements.
@@radlee974 in the words of the immortal Monique Heart: facts are facts, America!
@@radlee974 NOES 3 is probably my favorite of the series, with NOES1 right behind. Love ‘em!

oh wow...I request a followup exploration of this...or maybe too icky?
@@vaughn_erich he had a documentary about it
I applaud anyone recommending Dead Meat

Avaryl claims she’s troop Beverly Hills but she’s also serving MS. BELLUM!!
maybe it was the wig, but i kept seeing Moira Rose in all the confused faces Avaryl was making~
------------------
58:49 ok good, it wasn’t just me 😂
You guys should check out Mark Patton's documentary on his experience with the film called Scream Queen!
Definitely agree. The story behind the movie is just as interesting if not more than the movie.
Mark Patton is the main actor. He made a documentary titled, "Scream Queen: My Nightmare on Elm Street". About his experience making the movie. Heh. Apparently you knew already. 🧐
From what I remember from the first movie. Freddy was a psycho child killer who escaped justice. So the parents of all the teens from the first movie went after him and burned him alive.

The 1990s reboot where Freddy comes into the real world is the best entry.
I prefer Dream Master myself
This film is the ultimate demonstration of the kuleshov effect, in this essay I will-
You guys seem like such fun to hang out with, I enjoyed the whole hour of this video 😂
Andrew doesn't like Halloween? Gay Card REVOKED! But I am LIVING for this Beverly Hills and Mean Girls realness.

@@tibb75 yes! I love how they shoehorned in that cockroach foreshadowing too.

"As God as my witness, I'll never eat again". I love Shag!
Give the first one a rewatch! It holds up so fiercly!
So happy Avril got to finally do a troop beverly hills costume
All I got from this review is that you guys should’ve retro reviewed Outrageous Fortune. That walk Bette does in those heels serving Peggy Bundy realness is everything!
Also, only $100 to get you guys to review a movie hrm..
I haven't seen this video yet, but I clicked thinking Jinkx Monsoon was making an appearance from the thumbnail!
This is one of my favs! So happy you reviewed it!
Man oh man. I remember watching this as a child and being very into the coach. Come to think of it, It might be why I have a thing for leather daddies to this day. 🧐
The next Nightmare on Elm Street (dream warriors) redeems the franchise. A super young Patricia Arquette is in it.
Edit: Also Lawrence Fishburne! How could I forget.
Drinking game: take a sip every time they say “Apparently.” You will be sloshed after the first 15 minutes.

Subtle homosexual undertones must have been a thing in 80s horror, because this whole convo sounds a lot like the same situation as the original Fright Night.

I completely get your dress shoes thing. 😆 I couldn't watch Star trek the next generation, because I kept being distracted by Picard's pants being too long. It looked like he was constantly melting 🤣
You have no idea how long I've waited for this video omg
"There is nothing to figure out!"
*All of us staring at Andrew*: Do you want to have this conversation with him?
At 11:09 Indeed, I have no doubt that the male (character) was the subject of gays. 😉
Love you both especially you Shelley Long, but you guys desperately needed a Nightmare expert on this one! Please watch the doc Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street for more context.
If you guys write a book Homotones and Text should be the title.
Omg!! I was literally going to beg you to review this and didn’t know if you had seen it!
0:38 so are we replacing Andrew with Cousin Stu ?
Worth it for the Michael Kors clip at the end.
I knew instantly what both of your costumes were... and I screamed 😍
53:26 what about IKWYDLS 2 when Jennifer Love Hewitt was traumatized by the events in the first one
14:03 oh I LOVE The Hidden, absolutely recommend that film, it’s great. You wouldn’t know it was a low budget movie honestly, even just from the action scenes, the knew where to put their funds. And Kyle MacLaughlin is great (of course)

It’s so funny hearing non horror fans talk about horror movies. I love this movie so much
Congrats on your win Jinkx!
Not only is his friend in weird science he's also in VAMP too.
Seeing that shower-murder scene, I need to ask the writer if he was molested by his gym teacher in the showers, because damn, that really reads like a revenge scene. Maybe I'm going full Freud and reading too much into this 🤦
I took it as he was about to, which is why he took him to the school where he is an authority figure and why he pulled out the jump rope, so that he could bind him.
holy fuck ive never been more excited for a review
LOL RENNY HARLIN DIRECTED NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4
Happy Halloween!!! Love you guys! Thanks for this gay review!!
A silly fun Robert Englund “horror” movie that most people forgot about but had its moments was Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)
@53:21 THANK YOU. I personally don't like horror movies at all and have only seen a few (i'm trying to get into them more bc my boyfriend loves them and his favorite holiday is Halloween) and I ALWAYS think about that. Like we watched Cabin in the Woods recently and the scene with the Japanese girls in the classroom with their possessed classmate happened and I was like "...those little girls will never be the same after this."
The little sister is Christie "Carrie Brady" Clark from Days of Our Lives. Her acting gets much better as she grows.
Also The scene where Jesse and Grady “assume the position” is where they become friends because Jesse asks him what his problem with him is and Grady is just like nothing, I was just fucking with you. I believe that the undertones/homotones of their relationship is that Grady is in fact the one Jesse wants. Hence the whole line about Lisa is put it out there for Jesse and he instead wants to be with Grady in that moment. And then Freddy possesses Jesse and kills the object of lust.
He needed a gay best friend to give him that kiss instead of young Meryl Streep, just saying
This was a extremely homoerotic movie
If I’m ever a famous enough drag queen, I want a Halloween retro review of Repo! The genetic opera
Robert Rusler (Grady) was also in Vamp with Grace Jones.
Aww, y’all _definitely_ should’ve watched *NOES 3: Dream Warriors* instead! (Though I do understand why you went with 2.) It’s so damn campy and fun, and while it’s _far_ from a masterpiece, I genuinely think that you two really would’ve enjoyed it/yourselves. (Yes, even you, Andrew! Haha.)

Since you brought up Renny Harlin now you have to review A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 since he made it
Oh and also Renny Harlin did direct one of the nightmare on elm street movies. He directed the fourth one and it’s a fabulous trash baby and super 80s. It’s one of my favorites and I’d love if you guys reviewed that one too lol 😍
Avarly you look so fabulous you pull off that orange hair way better than Lady Gaga in A Star is Born !!
All of the Nightmare movies have a weird obsession with the house without explaining why Freddy is drawn to the house after Nancy's parents (who helped kill Freddy) are dead and/or move away?
Petition for Missus A to go orange red for real?
I get the Meryl similarity, but don't you think Lisa also looks distractingly like Tiffany from the 80s?
Yes!!! That was my very first thought the first time I saw it. So glad I'm not alone on that. Lol.
I'd be happy to answer any Nightmare questions you have lol. I know far too much about it
the French movie is actually Été 85 (Summer of '85)
The coach is Kuato in Total Recall!
I with my girl Av, eff you thanksgiving, extend Halloween
What I like about this movie is how freddy actually represents the fear and threat both of homosexuality AND homophobia. I aso felt that the movie did not judge the main character for being a male scream queen, it also didnt ridicule the gym professor or the leather bar scene. It is a really fascinating document of a pre gay mainstream culture that goes places that a lot of horror will not go even today.
You should 100% watch Nightmare On Elm Street 3. Thoroughly enjoyable.
The new Child's Play actually does kinda deal with the aftermath of these serial monsters. Like she goes to a support group, but nobody believes her that Chucky is really. And I think the Boogeyman series does...but It's been a while since I watched those.
And by "new" child's play, i don't mean the 2019 film, I mean Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky
So Avaryl just won Halloween.
Avaryl and Andrew, please produce School Bus to Hell please and thanks!
That’s a Van Runkle if I’m not mistaken ...
Mother, is it real???? I'm so damn happy
You need to watch Scream Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street. It’s a documentary mark Patton made essentially about the second film, his experience on it and in the industry.And the end result of all the crap he went through.
I love Shag! I have not seen it in a good while but I remember really loving it!

I had a film studies teacher who tried to tell us that Friday the 13th was New Queer Cinema because the boys screamed and that was gender bending. We said no that's ridiculous and the class the following day said she deleted the slide from the lecture.
I’m pretty sure the boiler room is supposed to be in the high school.
That was a really great party Lisa as said by Lady Gaga 🤣
Did I miss it or was it a #MissdOpportunity that there was no “Do the Freddy” clip at all?
Andrew and i have the same costume this year lol
Shag Retro Review? That would be “the most fun!”
Please review Basket Case or The Stuff please!!!
Nightmare 1 is just a great horror classic.
Nightmare 2 is this homoerotic mess.
Nightmare 3 is a fun a campy joyful/scary ride.
The rest is really bad.
Lol "Schoolbus to Hell", I think you'll find that is just the Jeepers Creepers sequels ironically. He basically becomes an evil version of Ms. Frizzle from the Magic Schoolbus by the 3rd one. But yeah, got what they were going for, Freddy preys on fear so they had him highjack the fear of homosexuality with a closeted male being the "final girl". Could have worked if it wasn't this weird thing that's also not a thing. Like it can fit with Freddy using his fear of being to get in his head, becoming an embodiment of that in his nightmares and gaining power and spreading again through that, kind of Silent Hill, the denons take the form pf your personal fears, but it didn't really pan out like that. But still helped horror, it was legit the only "gay" horror gay horror fans had for a very long time so I appreciate that it exists.
Have you done a review of Wild Wild West? Please do a review of WWW!
Yess I've been waiting for this one!
surprised they didn't like it as much as I would expect they would, but can't really disagree with any of their criticisms. I guess because when the movie came into my life I was happy with the "gay novelty" and that allows me to look at/remember it with nostalgia vs having a more critical analysis.
