The Nightmare

“Welcome to the scariest place on earth.”

Eight people wake in the dark, fully conscious, unable to move, speak or call out. Each describes the same thing in the room with them, and Rodney Ascher, who has lived through it himself, lets them talk in turn, with Forrest Borie and Korinne Wilson among them. Ascher stages their accounts as reenactments, and a figure in a ghostly outline (Andrew Schwarz) stands over the bed.
