## Synopsis

Nightmares is a 1983 American horror anthology film directed by Joseph Sargent and starring Emilio Estevez, Lance Henriksen, Cristina Raines, Veronica Cartwright and Richard Masur. The film is made up of four short films based on urban legends; the first concerns Lisa, a woman who encounters William Henry Glazier, a killer in the backseat of her car; the second concerns J.J.
