Thank you for Lauren Southern Canada....really couldn't give you enough props for her


Also anyone with any Halloween must sees/hears/do's?

Haunted Houses? Great movies or specials, The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror is always a great one!!! Hayrides? Anyone making any special Halloween treats?

A friend of mine is going to a Zombie Shoot which is basically a hayride where there are people dressed as zombies and those who are riding in on the hayride get paintball guns and shoot the people dressed as zombies.

Me and the missus watched the first two Elm Street movies last night. I hadn't seen them since I was a boy. Not as scary now obviously haha

But the second one was extremely gay. I'm not a homophobe whatsoever, but the main character was so flamboyantly gay! I found it odd, as I know the mid 80s were a lot more homophobic than now a days.

The main kid screamed and we both looked at each other and asked "was that a man or a woman screaming?"

Then of course there was this...

Yeah the lead actor was gay and considers himself one of the first "Scream Queens". He's HIV positive as well, shocking I know. I recently watched a documentary on Nightmare on Elm Street which went over each of the movies.

The director must have been gay. It would be fine to have a gay main character... but they really hit you over the head with it! He literally stopped making out with his girlfriend to go sleep in the same room as his male friend, and his male friend is even like "ummm why are you here and not with your GF" hahaha. It really seemed the main purpose of the movie was to be very gay.

My youngest boy went trick or treating, the eldest stayed at home, and people were impressed with his home made mask.

Sad that the tradition is dying or it could be your neighbourhood.

It was directed by Jack Sholder who idolized Jean Renoir (son of the famous painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir) both Sholder and Renoir directed many movies I've neither seen nor heard tell of. Jack Sholder has a son, so he may or may not be gay, but I find that most folks in the horror movie genre are the politically aware subversive type....see George Romero for example or John Carpenter. So that is probably why Jack Sholder got into directing Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and with the...well you can hardly call them undertones of homosexuality now can you? But with that being the case, I mean in the 1980's people were still of the belief that Elton John, Freddy Mercury, Rob Halford, et al were straight so now'a'days the gayness of that movie is really just wide open and out front but in the 1980's I guess that passed for "subtle".

I believe that Sholder used the gay angle with the lead character to parallel with Freddy Kruger living inside the gay character which is to say at that time it was not all that acceptable to be super gay out in public and so lots of gay people I guess figured they had something wrong with them, had to hide their true selves away from the public.....you know that kind of hamfisted political commentary.


It was an interesting take on the movie to say the least.
