Nightmares and Dreamscapes (2006) – Horror TV Shows We Miss

It’s time for a new episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series, and with this one we’re looking back at a show that only lasted one season of eight episodes: the Stephen King anthology Nightmares and Dreamscapes (get it HERE). The show got its name from a King story collection that contained twenty-four stories, so it definitely could have gone on for at least a couple more seasons… especially since the Nightmare and Dreamscapes show didn’t only feature adaptations of stories from the Nightmares and Dreamscapes book. The first and only season of the series also featured adaptations of King stories from his collections Night Shift and Everything’s Eventual. To find out what we thought of the Nightmares and Dreamscapes TV show, check out the video embedded above!

The King stories that were brought to the screen on Nightmares and Dreamscapes are Battleground, Crouch End, Umney’s Last Case, The End of the Whole Mess, The Road Virus Heads North, The Fifth Quarter, Autopsy Room Four, and You Know They Got a Hell of a Band. The show’s cast included Tom Berenger, William H. Macy, Kim Delaney, Steven Weber, Ron Livingston, Claire Forlani, William Hurt, and Samantha Mathis.

The Horror TV Shows We Miss series is all about taking a nostalgic look back at the genre series that marked us while growing up and that helped shape our love of horror today.

This episode was Written and Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Adam Walton, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
