- The series is an excellent reminder that what makes Mr. King's visions so fascinating is not their uniqueness or their artistry, but exactly how much they're like ordinary nightmares. Full Review | Jan 16, 2020 Daniel Carlson PopMatters Most screen adaptations tend to cut out all but the most important plot points.

What's your opinion on Nightmares & Dreamscapes? Discussion. I really liked it. I think it was the longest short story collection of his (my edition was BIG in size, with 700+ pages and very tiny letters), with every story feeling almost like a novella.

A young married couple, played by Claire Forlani and Eion Bailey, are in London for both their honeymoon and eventually to take care of some work matters for the husband. The pair heads to the small town of Crouch End, which has a nasty reputation, and turns out to be a gateway between the normal world and a dimension of Lovecraftian beasts. The sh...
Umney's Last Case is a more satisfying watch then Crouch End by a good margin, but this tale of a writer so sick of his life that he seeks to inhabit the fictional world he's created suffers from a common King criticism: the ending is really bad. Just when it feels like the story is building to a real final conflict between William H. Macy's duelin...
The Fifth Quartershowcases the alternate side of Stephen King, where the supernatural and macabre goes out the window, and gritty real-life circumstances come into play. Jeremy Sisto stars as Willie, an ex-con who's tipped off to a huge score by a close friend, right before that person dies. Willie now needs to recover a map from dangerous men that...
You Know They Got a Hell of a Band may well have the most creative premise of the entire Nightmares and Dreamscapes series. The story sees a couple traveling through Oregon, played by Steven Weber and Kim Delaney, who make a wrong turn and end up in a town literally called Rock and Roll Heaven. Inside are lots of deceased music legends, which sound...
A fairly simple, but quite effective story, The Road Virus Heads North begins the cream of the Nightmares and Dreamscapes crop. Tom Berenger stars as horror writer Richard Kinnell, who stops at a yard sale on the way back from a trip out of town, and happens upon a rather ghastly painting by a now dead artist. Kinnell buys it, but the painting soon...
Starring Richard Thomas, who played Bill Denborough in the 1990 IT miniseries, Autopsy Room Fouris a deft mix of horror and dark humor, with another satisfying ending. Thomas plays Howard Cottrell, a corporate hotshot who wakes up in a place no living person wants to be: the autopsy room, on the slab. Unable to move or speak, Howard must find a way...
The End of the Whole Mess is definitely the most dour story of Nightmares & Dreamscapes, but it's also close to being the best. Told in the past tense, it's clear something absolutely awful is going to happen, and spends much of the episode setting that awful thing up. Ron Livingston and Henry Thomas star, and Thomas especially shines in his role o...
Battleground was the first Nightmares and Dreamscapes episode to air, and TNT sure picked a winner to kick things off. William Hurt stars as an assassin who, after murdering a toy maker, gets menaced at his home by a squad of sentient army men. The entire episode is free of dialogue, letting the visuals of the battle between Hurt and the toys tell ...
- The Moving Finger. Sometimes, all you need is one incredibly weird idea. For this unexpected masterpiece of storytelling, King did exactly that, and ran with it.
- The Ten O’Clock People. The Ten O’Clock People is a well-written urban tale that is similar to John Carpenter’s They Live. That isn’t a bad thing, of course, and the story is great fun to read.
- Chattery Teeth. A story in a similar vein to Popsy or The Moving Finger, this nasty and often funny tale of roadside revenge centers around the titular object.
- Suffer the Little Children. One of the more memorable pieces of this collection, Suffer the Little Children displays King’s unparalleled skill at viewing the inner mind of a character as they slowly descend into madness.
