I found Bad Dreams at Wizard World last year after searching out the film for a couple of years - first by synops trying to find the title, and then looking for a copy. Sadly, the one that I have is very poorly made. Very glad to see this coming to legal release.

Viting Hours really should be more widely known. It doesn't have any gore or nudity, but it focuses on Halloween-esque scares and suspense. I haven't seen Bad Dreams, but it has the awesome Richard Lynch in it, so I'll probably buy this.

There both good movies Jim, I can't believe you never seen Bad Dreams.

I'll agree with ya on Viting Hours. I can't believe how many people have never seen it. It's a shame because it's such a good movie, and Michael Ironde plays a really good "bad guy" in this one.

I've never encountered Viting Hours myself, but now I'm doubly intrigued with Michael Ironde in a potive role for a change! He's been the go-to bad guy for most of his career.

I don't think Bad Dreams is as widely known either, which is a damn shame. There are certain scenes in that film that I couldn't get out of my head for years, even when I was unsure of the actual title of the film.
