A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge - Mark Patton Interview

[@jediknightgeo]

Mark seems like such a nice dude. Seriously, why do people have to be so nasty when it comes to judging someone on how they look? People age differently, on top of that who knows what type of hardships Mark (as well as other people) went/go through during their life?

[@Antnj81]

Joeey Chow the gay agenda is part of the NWO. the NWO isn't about microchips and all the countries literally becoming one, the NWO is about making a Godless society ruled by chaos and heathenism.

[@jessieeyy908]

i know bro

[@donniehgilljr.2251]

"Seriously, why do people have to be so nasty..." I'd be surprised if you weren't gay.

[@jediknightgeo]

***** Ready for the surprise? I'm not gay. I'm as heterosexual as it gets.

[@donniehgilljr.2251]

It was non-literal; I wouldn't actually be surprised if you turned out not to be gay. Besides, a few lines of text is not necessarily enough to reveal a person's sexuality, but now I think that your "I'm as heterosexual as it gets" comment was a blatant overcompensation of your masculinity (or lack thereof). I don't think that you're gay though in truth, just insecure. I mean, why else would you even bother to respond to some random stranger on the Internet about your sexuality if you didn't care? I'll let you let that sink in whilst you indulge in your ego some more.

[@chotzrary]

I don't care what people say. For a guy to play, a final girl in a horror movie. That's a groundbreaking and takes guts. Not many guys would that. There's a short list of men playing the final girl.

[@RabuHina]

@Flashman how is that relevant to his performance in the movie/as an actor

[@brandon17760]

@Flashman are you like 12 or something lol most gay men actually aren't feminine. You just don't notice the others

[@shadowman2192]

Other celebrities could learn from Mark Patton not only in acting but for being such a nice person.

[@janbartolome5291]

i just fell in love with him when i saw the movie Nightmare on Elm Street 2. I've read on wikipedia that he has AIDS. I hope he remains strong and won't let AIDS bring him down. He is such a nice guy! :)

[@lukaszskywalker126]

Exactly, when I was 15 I dont like this movie but I watched again when I was 25 and is my fav. Iam straight but I like Jesse is my fav character in nigtmares. I like psychological side of this movie. This guy did great work to play him.

[@stevenwatson4367]

I saw this movie in 85, I was 9 yrs old and it scared the hell out of me and I mean to the point that I vomited. The scene when freddy erupts from marks body was astonishing. If you rewatch that scene now you will note marks acting was incredible, just incredible, he was so so strong in that entire movie. I have rewatched lots of times in order to exorcise my demons and I have to say the homoerotic subtext is completely lost on me. Never noticed then and don't care now. I thought he was Oscar level brilliant in his portrayal. Exceptional performance and movie. Freddy jumping through the floor beside the pool.. What an image. Well played Mr patton. F#*k the haters.

great film mark thanks for appreciating the fans take care do more reunions with that other dude from wierd science you guys are hilarious together...

[@ranbutch7544]

What a nice guy

[@skinoff89]

I met him while I was there, I didn't recognize him at first, but I started talking to him and he's great he let me take a picture with him.

[@MyTimeOutt]

It's nice to see that there are some film stars who embrace the entire spectrum that goes with that territory with such intelligence, enthusiasm, and delight. Mark Patton is certainly secure in that realm & it was nice to meet him, a fun & joyful experience. Sad that some who have been in similar positions do not seem to be able to view this with the kind of happiness he does.

[@sheltonhudson5008]

Always loved Mark! It would be nice to get to meet him in person and just maybe have a cup of coffee and a nice conversation.

[@rockys201]

He looks like he lost a lot of weight since the Never Sleep Again documentary. Hope he's ok

[@joshuaadams3255]

rockys201 I think I read somewhere he has been battling with aids the last few years 🙁❤️❤️ he’s such a beautiful human being and an inspiration

[@ryan.max1payne7]

he has had aids for a majority of his life , hints why is in his 50s and looks quite a bit older ... aids destroys your system://

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

There's also the most recent documentary where he is the subject called "Scream Queen: My Nightmare on Elm Street". The film that began and ended his career simultaneously in Hollywood because how he was treated by certain people he confided in the industry for the most part, not accepting himself of who he is as a person when it was not convenient to come out as gay during the 1980s, especially with the emerging AIDS virus affecting a huge portion of the gay community.

[@Antnj81]

nightstalkerck you mentioned that the wiki says Mark Patton was born in 1958... but now it says 1964. I guess Mark must've seen the comments and decided to edit his page :P

[@chanellwashington5141]

he still sounds the same

[@TobeyStarburst]

Looks like he lost alot of weight gain some wait Mark we love you.

thanks for correcting me, I was going by imdb, but I see Wikipedia listed 1958 , I still like him no matter how old he is, I wished he would have done more.

[@lesslycarthan6293]

The special effects was ground breaking the scene freddy eye was in his throat and he cut himself out jesse only xtro the girl giving birth to a grown man was scarier. Without 2 no 3-4 would've happened. Whats gay about it Fred's a child charmer than murderer he played surrogate dad to jesse to kill his family n friends.

[@TheEarlymtv]

A shame what happens to us when we get old..

[@adam-thesportsguy6147]

I knew he was gay watching the movie for the first time in 1985 as a 5 year old kid. The fact that the movie’s subtext “outed” him is why he quit acting and harbored some resentment toward David Chaskin (writer) and the franchise. Back in 1985 the social norms and what is acceptable was extremely different than in 2019...it was traumatizing for Mark to be outed by the movie. This was my introduction to ANOES series and is still and will always be my favorite ANOES movie.

Hi there

[@245-TRIOXIN]

He is a decent actor and acted well in Nightmare on Elm Street 2. But he couldn't hide his sexual orientation in Nightmare on Elm Street 2. I guessed he was gay just from watching him in that movie. Looked him up on google after watching that film to see if i was correct, and sure enough i was. Not that it matters. I love Nightmare on Elm Street 2.

[@ronaldshank7589]

As for people being gay, lesbian, or whatever:I don't agree with those lifestyles, but I don't believe in name calling/bullying. Anybody who does the name calling/bullying is wrong to do so. That kind of stuff is immature!

[@mauriciovargas1686]

¿Porqué huyes? No huyas, afronta lo que hiciste y ven a dar una explicación a las autoridades. Tú y yo sabemos muy bien que tu rápida salida del país fue para esconderte de la justicia mexicana. Sabías que te estuvieron buscando en tu domicilio anterior y en tu tienda, por eso cerraste y te largaste, como rata asustada. Y decías que tú eras la reina, y que morías de ganas de verme la cara cuando me detuviera la policía. Y ahora la reina tuvo que salir corriendo y con la cola entre las patas. Me pregunto si cuando tuviste la idea de venir a México pensabas en hacer algo como lo que hiciste: plagiar artesanía para venderla como propia. ¿Estaba en tu pensamiento buscar algún artesano y colgarte de su talento para hacer dinero? ¿Cómo puedes dormir contigo mismo cada noche? Me impresionas. Y lo más impresionante es cómo haces ver cada situación de tu vida como algo premeditado, exitoso; es impresionante cómo tergiversas la realidad, cómo la maquillas para hacerla parecer una vida de ensueño, llena de buenas intenciones y valores. La realidad es otra: nunca has ayudado a nadie, al contrario, sólo viniste a hacer daño, a robar y a plagiar a artesanos que confiaron en ti. Nunca tuviste una intención de progreso hacia los demás, sólo de explotación y de engaño. Y no te importó engañar a tus clientes también. Aprendiste muy bien en Hollywood. La prueba más representativa es el plagio que hiciste de nuestros perros chihuahuas de papel maché. No sabías que los teníamos registrados ante las autoridades mexicanas y decidiste mandar a hacer copias falsas a Tonalá, incluso pusiste en una página que la autora de las piezas es Abigaíl Mondragón. Me da gusto que hayas metido a esa señora en tus actividades criminales, pues ya también existe una averiguación previa en contra de la señora que resultó ser la madre de Héctor. ¿Cómo pudiste ser capaz de inmiscuir a esa humilde anciana en tus sucias mañas? Si crees que todo lo que te digo es mentira, te reto a que vengas a mi país de nuevo y enfrentes a las autoridades que se quedaron esperando a que abrieras tu tienda. Acá tienes muchas preguntas qué responder. ¿O eres una gallina?

Maybe he referring to Lisa's friend on the bus at the end... that chick. Has Mark Patton even seen his own movie?? lol Also, people didn't not like the movie because of the gay undertones, they didn't like it because it was a complete departure from the formula of the first film.

[@kneazle3603]

P.s I am wanking as I write this

[@Kris_Aalst]

Reading the comments here, it appears I'm not from your universe. Where I'm from we call experiences like this 'being in the Twilight Zone' (a reference to a tv series in my universe but I digress). In my universe, Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is by far the worst movie in the series and most likely even the worst sequel ever in a horror franchise. All this actor did in the movie was whine, cry, sob, and so on. That's not entirely on him, of course, that's what the script wanted him to do and he did it. But every time I rewatch the NoES series yet again, I always skip no. 2 and for good reason. So greetings from another universe or reality or whatever and cudos on you for having a decent no. 2 in the NoES franchise, which we can only dream of. Pun intended, of course :-)

[@boomstickcritique902]

It's just a movie some like it some don't as far as the lead performance that was intentional. In Nightmare 2 the main character played by Mark Patton is intentionally like that because he isn't meant to be a hero like Nancy from the first film. In Nightmare 2, unlike the first film, the main character is a victim from start to finish.
