Nightmare on Film Street: Mark Patton’s Revenge

· , , ,
Painted horror homage: present-day Mark Patton stands confidently in a ruined cinema. Behind him, a torn screen shows Freddy Krueger raising his four-bladed glove beside a younger adult Patton, shirtless beneath a shower. Another bladed glove rests on the floor amid film reels. Red and gold light fills the theater. Bottom branding reads “Tittu” and “tristanrobertlange.com,” with a TRL monogram.

closeted
by force
not choice—

yes, a queen;

want to hear him scream

on the silver

being boys
in the locker room;

the coach—
a fucked up
cockroach—
far worse.

phobia fellatio
from phobic fellows

upon

an actor
gay
written in
four finger-bladed horror
to be exactly that way—

gay—

a disposable
creative commodity
to be used,

abused,

but hey,
it’s another day,

decades away.

has Hollywood learned?—
or is it still

exploiting the bodies,
souls, talents of

queens

for screams?

Gothic promotional artwork for Annabel Lee by Tristan Robert Lange, performed by Appalachian Virtual Ensemble. Inside a ruined stone cathedral, a grand piano stands beneath towering Gothic arches beside a pipe organ and a cello. White roses and creeping vines adorn the crumbling architecture. Through the central archway, a full moon illuminates a turbulent sea and a distant structure on a rocky cliff. The title Annabel Lee appears in luminous white script across the center, with the composer's name above and Appalachian Virtual Ensemble below.

Tristan Robert Lange
Hi, I’m Tristan Robert Lange — a poet who writes at the crossroads of existentialism, emotional depth, societal critique, and the gothic. My work often journeys into the human psyche, weaving dark and atmospheric imagery with profound emotional insight. I draw inspiration from literary voices such as Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Morrison, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, among others. Their influence fuels my pursuit of vivid imagery and unflinching exploration of the macabre, the mysterious, and the sacred-in-subtext. My poetry is both confessional and visionary, haunted and haloed, carrying the weight of suffering but always straining toward transcendence.
