Scream Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street sets the records straight about the controversial sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street, which ended Mark Patton’s acting career, just as it was about to begin. Scream Queen follows Patton as he travels to horror conventions across the U.S.

Each new city unwraps a chapter from his life that is met with equal parts joyful and bittersweet detail, as he attempts to make peace with his past and embrace his legacy as cinema’s first male “scream queen.” Scream Queen also finds Patton confronting Freddy’s Revenge cast and crew for the first time, including co-stars Robert Rusler, Kim Myers and Clu Gulager, as well as Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund.

I've seen Patton interviewed. I like him, but I think that's putting too much blame on the movie for how his career went.

I mean, his performance really had something to do with his character coming off as gay even though I don't think he was trying to play it that way, not just the script. He was pretty well cast in that movie. He was in the closet, but I think people suspected the truth about him. Shitty that at the time it could be so damaging to a career, though.

It's the dance. That's what killed it.
