Hello Grue-Lings,

Mark Patton here. I was asked by the great crew at Gruemonkey to do a monthly article about what guys I think are hot in horror. What guys makes me get excited and have wet dreams about. I was happy to accept this offer and tell you all what guys I think are sexy in horror every month. My monthly article will be called Mark Patton’s Guys To Kill For.

For those of you who don’t know me. I am Jesse Walsh from Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. I am honored and happy to be in the Iconic franchise of Nightmare On Elm Street films. I am a Final Boy as well. The only guy in Nightmare series to win the battle with Freddy and defeat him. Be sure to check out Jesse’s Journals and Scream Queen: My Nightmare on Elm Street. Now onto the Hunks. Here is Mark Patton’s Guys To Kill For. I pick Tony Todd.

Tony Todd. Have some Candyman to celebrate Black History Month. Tony is classy and a real gentleman but you know he can play heavy and don’t we all need a little drama in the bedroom now and then. I love Tony he is second to none, but I did want to take this opportunity to celebrate African American Actors.
