Presented by Shudder
Daniel Noah, Chicago native and Founding Partner of SpectreVision, the production company behind Mandy and a Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, will present this film and have a post film conversation with Jim Perry, of the podcast Euphomet, about Noah’s own paranormal experiences and how they've impacted his work in the horror space.
About THE NIGHTMARE:
Imagine if every time you got into bed and began to drift off your body locked up, totally frozen. But you are not asleep. You can see and hear everything and that's when the shadow men come. Rodney Ascher (Room 237) meets eight sufferers of sleep paralysis and discovers the terror that awaits them when they fall asleep each night. In this documentary-horror film we experience the terror that a surprisingly large number of people suffer when they find themselves trapped between the sleeping and waking worlds every night. Using dramatic reconstructions, compelling first-hand accounts and slick cinematic trickery, The Nightmare will entertain, educate and completely petrify.
