The original is still the best one, or should I exclaim, the only one worth anything. All the sequels have been poop.

Many classic horror movies are surrounded by some type of controversy, but A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revengehas been talked about for years regarding the queer subtext that's all over the film.
Starring Mark Patton, Kim Myers, Robert Rusler, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, the film premiered in , only a year after the original.
