re: Rewatched original Nightmare on Elm Street and that movie just kicks arse

Part 2 is often referred to the gay one. They talk about it extensively in the documentary “Never Sleep Again”. The whole subtex of jessie being closeted gay in the 80s and the horror of coming out. Much like freddy “comes out” of jesse. Interesting concept when you look at it that way.

Aside from that. It is easily the worst of the series, IMO.

Part 4 was always my favorite. Freddy gets resurrected by a flaming pissing dog! The effects were great in that one. It was hokey but just enough surrealist horror to make it fun.
