Originally rumored to be castoffs from the short-lived ABC series “Darkroom” that were deemed too violent for television, Universal Pictures actually cobbled together NIGHTMARES during the early 80s horror boom to serve as a TV pilot for a new series. Typical of many anthologies, it’s a hit-and-miss affair, but there are some fun scares to be had while checking out pre-fame screen appearances from the likes of Emilio Estevez and Lance Henriksen.
This was something I kept from an L.A.-area showing, circa 1987.
