Welcome to the killcount where we tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies
I'm James A. Janisse and the shirt will make sense later
Today we're looking at Nightmare on Elm Street part two Freddy's revenge as soon as the original nightmare made new line executive Bob
Shaye a buttload of money
He knew he wanted a sequel so he ditched West Craven and bought a script from writer David Chaston that had nothing to do with
Nancy Thompson and instead focused on a young boy named Jesse Walsh who moves into Nancy's house five years after her apparent defeat of Freddy Krueger
Freddy's revenge has a rightfully earned
Reputation as one of the gayest horror movies ever made the story goes that Chaskin wrote the screenplay with some
Homoerotic subtext that quickly became super text during production while the director and producers claimed they had no idea at the time the whole thing
Was a major headache for actor Mark Patton who was gay
But not completely out at the time as he played Jesse a role he has since embraced as making him the first male scream queen
*screams*
Freaking love that a movie this gay. Managed to sneak its way into theaters in the middle of the Reagan era
But you know what else I love about it The Kills. So let's get to them
The movie begins with a bluebird bus rolling down a suburban street better watch out driver
You're headed straight for a title card
Eventually there's only three kids left on the bus these two valley girls and the hero of our story
Jesse Walsh who's not exactly a popular guy looks like the girls take a break from laughing at Jesse when the bus blows by their stop
Hey driver that was my stop, driver that was my stop
And keeps going straight into the freaking desert
Where did that come from?
Bus zooms past some Joshua trees as a close-up shows us what we've already guessed by now that bus driver is none other than
Fredrik Krueger the bus skids to a stop and the kids watch out the windows as the ground opens up around them eventually leaving the
Bus balancing precariously on a couple of tall rocks fires in a shot that looks straight out of Clash of the Titans Freddie gets up
To stalk towards the kids laughing his Freddie laughs and fucking up the upholstery with his finger knife when he goes in for the fatal slash
We cut to a tomato being sliced. That's fun and the Walsh family hearing a scream from upstairs
God I love Jesse's scream
He wakes up in a sweat and in our first little dollop of hey this movie might not focus on the same kind of sexuality as most
Jessie stands up in his tighty whities and the camera lingers long enough for him to adjust himself
He comes downstairs and gets disciplined by his dad for not having his room unpacked yet when their doorbell rings
It's the rich neighbor Lisa, and she's ready to go to school with Jessie
And how rich is she get a load of this pool in her backyard holy shit Lisa
What are your parents do for work with that kind of wealth?
I don't know why she's carpooling with Jesse in his shithouse car that starts with some button mashing and leaves behind the smoke monster from
Lost as it drives off at school
Jesse, and the ball as I playing baseball and my favorite character Ron Grady
is up to bat his hit winds up bonk and jesse on the head and after that bonk and jesse tagging grady out they
Give to a tiff that gives us our first man ass of the movie
But not our last it they wrestle around in the dirt some more like they're the best of friends until oh shit adidas coming
Coach Schneider pulls the two apart with the first of many suggestive lines in this movie assume the position and assume what they do
kinda
That's supposed to be a plank boys get those butts out as they lie there fucking up their lower backs the two talk about how?
Schneider hangs out at S&M joints downtown
Apparently and end up becoming friends after some back-and-forth ribbon look Grady you got some problem with me. No, bro
Just killing time in the locker room Grady tells Jesse the history behind the house
He's just moved into about how a girl saw her boyfriend get murdered across the street and went crazy while locked inside by her mom
Sure enough the house still has the momma Marge bars on the window after Jesse can't sleep
He goes downstairs winds up outside where he sees through the basement window Freddie messing around with his furnace
Oh, we're gonna help with those heating bills mr.
Krueger back inside Jesse runs right into Freddie darker and more serious than ever in fact
This movie's probably got the least comical Freddie of the series whoo growls - Jesse that he needs him
Yeah keep that scream a coming dude Jesse wakes up with no harm done except for some more sweat stains on his sheets
The next day Jesse tries to go meet up with Lisa, but daddy Walsh says he has to unpack and clean his room instead
Thanks dad because he just gave us another bewildering sequence that begins with a cassette a fond array and another stealthy adidas
advertisement with the help of some sunglasses
Jesse gets dance cleaning - a song called touch me all night long and while mouthing those suggestive lyrics
We get some buck close-ups and some phallic mini bat wiggling
It's a damn shame when his thrusting is cut off by his mom and Lisa entering his room. Hey don't be ashamed dude
Nothing wrong with pretending you got a mini bat dick after Lisa. Helps him finish cleaning she finds something in the closet
No, not Jesse himself nor that game hilariously named probe
But a diary from five years ago that belonged to Nancy Thompson when one of her entries mentions the dude named Fred who's got steel
Claws it hangs out in a boiler room Jesse goes catatonic and before you know it
He's got the night sweats again, and the shit in his room is all melty well
That's what happens when you buy Crayola brand baseball helmets and records made of asphalt
He goes downstairs to the old furnace where he pulls out an early Christmas gift from Freddy open that shit up Jesse
It's some authentic finger knives hope you got him from razor gloves,com
because those gloves are dope Freddy shows up and encourages him to have fun
Jesse's able to resist Freddy
but not gravity
But even after Freddy
Disappears that kill gloves still hanging out there at school Jesse gives Nancy's diary to Lisa and her friend Carrie mentions Lisa's upcoming party
So I guess we know where act three is gonna. Take place. Yo, but fuck seeing in another day
Let's jump back to Jesse's home that night where mama Walsh puts the family birds to bed only for the bird cage to start shaking
All crazy Jesse unveils the animals to find one of them dead and the other stone cold crazy
You know it flies around doing some great bird acting forget drifting and shit before it suddenly spontaneously
Combusts what's bird bomb at least that's what mr.
Walsh thinks blaming Jesse for the whole thing is though blowing up birds is just a common schoolboy prank
Hey, how about another scene with Jesse waking up sweaty here? We go once again
He wanders downstairs
But this time some random kitchen lightning convinces him to take a walk outside in the rain his wet night stroll leads into Dawn's play
Kinki leather bar where there are no less than two David Bowie's hanging out sign me up working the bars producer Bob
Shaye in the leather tastic cameo, and he gives Jesse a beer without even carding this babyface
But as Jesse goes to drink it. He runs into some trouble
It's coach Schneider aw shit Adidas coming Schnieder takes Jesse to the school and makes him do laughs weird after hours punishment
Maybe even weirder by the fact that he doesn't even change out of his daddy outfit to dole it out come on, dude
You're sweet
Frigging adidas shirt is hanging right there stuff in his office starts getting all spooky
And he gets a bunch of balls thrown at him which to be fair is probably how he expected this night to end anyway
Hey, yeah, jump rope puts him in bondage
It starts dragging him out of the office
Hit the showers Schnieder slides right in there next to Jesse and is then magically stripped for another man ass occurrence
Maybe this episode should be the man
Ask ow where we tally up the man asses and all our favorite Freddy sequels Snider gets flogged by towels as Jesse watches and right
As they're starting to feel bad for the guy Freddy joins the party to make things even weirder
He raises his glove and slashes him across the back you shower cue spraying out blood cue one more shot of man ass and cue
Jesse with the Freddy glove on his hand aunt you tell us how the sudden turn of events makes it feel Jesse
Normally after a scene like this the protagonist wakes up in bed
But instead Jesse's parents answered the door to find him in the middle of a Springwood PD sandwich the cops say they found him outside
Wandering around naked and his parents are pretty concerned thinking
He's taken some serious drugs, but the only thing Jesse's on it's Special K. And that K is for Krueger the next day
There's a bunch of cops at school that Grady tells Jesse that Coach Schneider was found dead in the showers
But instead of seeing Jesse go through another day while we cut straight to the chase and get more shots of him sweating in bed
Yeah, that's pretty good
oh And could you like just tilt straight down to his junk perfect and for any straight guys complaining about how this is super gay
Which it totally is just think about how every other movie shoots the female characters like this you can live with one movie catering to
The ladies of gay dudes, it's okay, ain't gonna hurt you Jesse opens his desk drawer to find a very active finger knife
Glove inside and then he hears Freddie's voice inside his head?
He goes into a sister's room where he finds are practicing to audition for the jump rope girls I
Think she'll make the cut and now it's morning
God damn this movie just plows through days and nights Jessie and Lisa drive to an old power plant where Lisa says Fred Krueger used
To work. Hey, what do you mean by work Lisa Fred Krueger kidnapped 20 kids and brought them here and killed them
I think that was more of like a hobby for it's not like it paid the bills or any thing lisa asks Jessie if he feels
anything
But even though he doesn't she does that bod of his that is then we're back in the Walsh basement where the furnace kicks off
a first-person POV shot that goes upstairs and into Jesse's sister's room
She does but she seems pretty chill probably cuz it's just her sweaty, bro, Jesse, and if she's anything like this movies audience
She's already seen that shit a thousand times. Oh buddy is wearing that finger knife. Glove better hide that from sis dude
He goes to his room and used his sta up pills and coke to get through the night the Santa Claus code
Not the nose candy kind. Let's get to the party that was promised
where Lisa's dad is playing old timey jazz and serving up burgers to his daughters teenage friends mom does Lisa a solid and
Carts our dad off to bed and as soon as those crazy kids see the lights go off in the parents bedrooms
They crank up the tunes and break out the beer
Apparently forgetting that sound waves tend to travel lucky for them Lisa's mom don't give a fuck meanwhile
Jesse sulks himself into the Cabana and Lisa follows to talk to him check out this fun little bit of filmmaking with some ferns casting
A finger knife looking shadow against the wall in front of Jesse silhouette well done director Jack shoulder the kids end up making out
But right as Jesse begins to board the USS motorboat things get weird yeah, maybe save that party trick for a little later
Jesse no need to pull out all the stops right away his gene Simmons
Simulation leaves them feeling freaked out so he runs off leaving Lisa alone on the Cabana floor
So he can break into Grady's room and get up close and personal
He tells Grady who's got some dope ass posters in his room including a frank zappa one and a Bowie want even though tonight was definitely
a bottom three album bottom two of you don't count tin machine that he killed Schneider and nearly killed his sister something is trying to
Get inside my body yeah, and she's female and she's waiting for you in the Cabana, and you want to sleep with me
But their lovers quarrel dies down and Jesse puts Grady on glen detail telling him to wake him up if it looks like things are
Going wrong. But let's be real, man
It's 1985 there ain't no Reddit to browse or Netflix to watch and at this time of night ain't shit on TV
So what's a young Grady supposed to do to stay awake? Yeah?
He doesn't know either so he pulls a glen and goes to sleep jesse wakes up
Which wakes up Grady and although like Jesse just has some indigestion. It's actually way worse than anything pepto-bismol can solve
He's got nails growing out of his fingers and his whole friggin arm is erupting into nastiness eww
Grady pounds on the door to get out, but I spy with my back of throat eye something that tells me Grady going die
It's Freddie's frickin face coming out of Jesse's torso like it's a bedroom
Wall without a crucifix, so Jesse how about giving the guy some air? Thank you?
That's more like it
Freddie climbs out of his jesse shell and stretches because living inside a teenage boy that long will give you such a
crick in the neck Freddie true to part twos darker focus on terror
Cracks no jokes as he grabs Grady by the throat and raises him against the door next thing
You know finger knives are busting out the other side and Grady spitting a blood the stabbing takes place just below screen
But it's still a cool way to shoot this kill and we get the gore we're looking for when Grady's body slinks to the floor
Freddie waves that himself in the mirror, but wait a minute. He's not himself. He's Jesse
I bet seeing your friend dead like that makes me want to scream, huh, Jess
No, just cry
Oh, that's a bummer Jesse tosses his murder weapon at the mirror and after hearing some sirens come round
Peaces out through the window
He goes back to Lisa's place
And she is way to non-plus by the twitchy dude covered in blood straight-up admitting to murder. I killed Grady Lisa. I killed Schneider
Jesse what are you talking about? Dog He literally just said he killed two people
That's what he's talking about get the fuck out of there and call the police
Out back at her pool party things are heating up, so what's going on here an orgy or something ha ha no rod
I'm talking about the temperature of the pool and these wieners then the beer starts slowing up probably from being carted around in a friggin
Radio Flyer and all sorts of shit gets crazy
It's mostly things blowing up, but the kids also get locked in the pool area which will be bad news crews later
Lisa tells Jesse that according to the Good Book of Nancy all he has to do to fight Friday is not give him any more
Energy, but then the poltergeist shit starts happening in their room and all of a sudden Jesse's no longer there
Chase ensues where we get classic Robert Englund physicality
He even bites into her ankle like its horn on the cob Lisa gets away and grabs a knife to defend herself with against Freddy
Who's having a real temper tantrum and declaring that he has a new identity? I'm
Also Freddy's look varies slightly from movie to movie
And I kind of like how meaty and wet he looks in this he tells Lisa that killing him will kill Jesse too, and maybe
That's why her stabs are so half-assed. He grabs her with a sausage fingers and both those personalities get tender for a moment
I love you, Lisa
But then he tosses her across the room and heads outside to kill some teens Freddie's body count throughout the series
It's notoriously low
But if you ever want to watch him go on a killing spree
buckle up because this is the one time he doesn't the crashes through the door and disappears only to re-emerge poolside and
goddamn
is it weird to watch Freddie among a whole group of people in the real world when he usually does is killing on an
Individual basis in the dream world, but let's not look at kill horse in the mouth. Let's just count these boys up
First is the Doody corners against the fence and slashes in the face BAM dude goes down another guy gets shocked by the fence although
He's okay, but when these two people fall into the boiling pool, and then the pool catches on fire
Yeah i'ma count those two fires. Popping up everywhere and although these people get away in time
I'm gonna say this chick and yes
That's a lady look at that boob right now isn't so lucky if she falls into a spot that
Immediately goes up in flames another guy gets trampled and his neck audibly broken so that makes five kills here
And then stripey Mc striperson try person runs gut first into some finger knives to bring fred's killstreak up to six was that an airstrike Freddie
Takes a breather
And you know what maybe he's done for the night
At least this dude seems to think so since he approaches Freddie like his jonathan groff talking down a hostage situation
Just tell us what you want all right?
It doesn't go so well. You're sure
He get slashed and tossed against the grill which doesn't look all that lethal
But I'll count it anyway because this is the only chance Fred will have to bring home these kinds of numbers the kids Vogon in
Horror as freddy tells them about his mass adoption plans
Then Lisa's dad shows up with a gun
But she stops him from shooting Fred because of the whole Jessie possession thing Freddy takes the hint that he's not wanted at this party
It leaves through the fiery hedge door that every rich backyard has Lisa takes off to follow him correctly
Surmising that he's gone back to the old power plant
He used to work at too bad the place is being guarded by some creepy fucking dogs wearing happy deathday
Masks what the fuck, but Lisa just walks right past them so whatever
I guess she walks around the plant in this awesome super faraway shot, and eventually Freddy gets in her face in corners
She pleads for Jesse to come out of Freddy's body saying that she loves him and shit
And it looks like that plan is working since Freddy starts oozing blood
He winds up in the corner of the boiler room collapsing in weakness as Lisa continues to kill him with kindness saying
She's not afraid of him and that she loves Jesse and he can come out come out whenever he wants blah blah blah get to
Get to the the gross kiss yeah
Make out with that child murderers slip in the tongue Lisa
That'll get Jesse out even quicker rod tosses her away
And then fire surrounds him it starts burning everywhere in fact and Freddy begins to melt as Lisa watchs on
Ah That's some good
Melty Freddy face he erupts completely into flames and his body falls to the grated floor after the fire goes out the charred body Left Behind
Begins to move it turns out that it's Jesse
oh good Lisa you got him back just in time for him to be tried for at least half a dozen murders in the 1st
First yeah, hug him real tight there. He'll need this memory when he's in prison for the rest of his life
We're back where we started with a school bus driving down a suburban street jesse sitting with Lisa and Carey who seems to be totally
Cool with having just seen a bunch of her classmates get murdered the night before that was a really great party
But then the bus starts speeding down the street and Jesse freaks the fuck out telling the driver to stop which he does
Geez Jesse you won't tell this guy how to do his goddamn job some more sit your ass down
Or he will put your ass down. Lisa and Kerry is sure Jesse that everything's cool. Now. It's all over
oh
One more kill to count up even though
I'm not sure if this is a dream or if it counts or whatever
But I'm giving it to him cuz Freddy needs the number cooking movie ends with the bus going on another off-roading adventure as Freddy laughs
And laughs and laughs so while they're busy with her camping trip. We've gotta get to the numbers
Ten people died in Freddy's revenge
the only solo freddy film to reach
double-digit kills
The victims included seven dudes and three ladies more than two to one guys and with a runtime of 86 minutes that leaves us with
a kill on average every 8.6 minutes
I'll give the golden chainsaw for coolest kill collectively to those first six partiers that get killed
I know it's weird to see Freddy at a pool party
But it's also kind of fun to see him use all his tricks to take down a bunch of kids at once
dull machete for lamest kill we'll go to the seventh guy the negotiator dude since he just got whipped into a grill and that's it
Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy's Revenge came out in 1985 a year after the original and although
I'm a fan some people prefer to skip it and go straight into the third film Dream Warriors
Which we'll be covering next week until then I'm James A. Janisse. this has been the killcount
