It wasn’t so long ago that Joe and I discussed A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge right here on Bloody Disgusting as part of our Horror Queers column (it’s been five months, to be exact), yet we still get requests to cover the film on the Horror Queers podcast! Alas, because we just covered it, you won’t be hearing us talk about it on the podcast for a while. Luckily, the guys over at Consequence of Sound‘s Halloweenies podcast happened to be covering the film in their March episode and they invited us on to the show to provide a queer perspective on this very, very queer horror film. It’s the horror podcast crossover event of the season!
Halloweenies is a monthly podcast for fans of all horror franchises. Each season, co-hosts McKenzie Gerber, Dan Caffrey, Justin Gerber, and Michael Roffman slice through an iconic series one movie at a time. In 2018, they started in Haddonfield, Illinois with Halloween, and for 2019, they’re heading to Springwood, Ohio for A Nightmare on Elm Street. There will be tricks, there will be treats, and, yes, there will be blood.

Season 2, Episode 2 – A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985)
Things are getting hot for the Halloweenies at 1428 Elm Street. To keep things cool, they’ve invited over a few friends for a bowl of Fu Man Chews cereal, an epic dance-off to Fonda Rae, and a hilarious game of Probe.
Join Editor-in-Chief Michael Roffman, senior writer Dan Caffrey, and writers Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman of Bloody Disgusting’s Horror Queers Podcast to slice through 1985’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge.
Together, they discuss the sequel’s behind-the-scenes controversies, the queer metaphorical implications of Freddy Krueger, why everyone’s so sweaty, and the curious birthdays of stars Clu Gulager and Hope Lange.
So, grab some Sta-Up and listen above.
