I'm just gonna put this out there: A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge is quite possibly the gayest horror movie of the 1980s. It starts off with Jesse and his family moving into the old Thompson place on Elm Street, the same house from the original film. Things start to get strange for Jesse after he finds Nancy's diary, detailing her dreams and dealings with one Mr. Freddy Krueger. Soon enough Jesse is running from his horny girlfriend, spending a suspicious amount of time with his rarely dressed rival from school, and picking up his creepy gym teacher from an S&M leather bar. The people behind the film have since claimed that they were unaware of the film's homoerotic subtext, which could very well be true, it was the 80s after all.Rating: Welcome to Pride Week, Bitch%

I like this one - it's like the last Nightmare on Elm Street movie until New Nightmare that isn't just Freddy cracking nonstop jokes.
I'd still take Part 3 over Part 2 any day.
True. It's got Patricia Arquette, Lawrence Fishburne, and the vein puppet sequence. It's probably my 2nd favorite after part 1.
