Have you ever seen Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge? The sequel is famous among horror fans for its barely concealed gay subtext. Yesterday, we learned from the awesome culture blog Dangerous Minds that the campy homo horror movie is finally coming out of the closet. In an upcoming documentary on the Freddy franchise, the creators and star of Nightmare 2 discuss how they ended up making the gayest fright flick ever.

But that’s not what caught our attention. It seems that when the filmmakers cast producer Robert Shay for his cameo as a bartender in a leather bar, they sent him to the Pleasure Chest for his wardrobe. (Jump to 3:40 for the anecdote.)

We’re honored to play a part in Hollywood’s gay horror history. And, in this tradition, we heard a rumor that the latest Rihanna video, appropriately-titled “S&M” features some kinky gear sourced from our LA store.
