#47 - The Nightmare (2015)

Forget fictional made up horror, this is real scary sh*t. Join BP, Coop and Justin as we discuss 'The Nightmare', the 2015 documentary that focuses on people suffering from sleep paralysis, a phenomenon where people find themselves temporarily unable to move, speak, or react to anything while they are falling asleep or awakening. Occasionally this paralysis will be accompanied by physical experiences or hallucinations that have the potential to terrify the individual. In the film, Ascher interviews each participant and then tries to re-create their experiences on film with professional actors.
