Childhood Nightmares: Harris Burdick

"You start to play it... and it's like somebody's nightmare..."

In the 3rd grade, our teacher had a copy of this book filled with black and white drawings from different stories, along with a line that came from the stories they came from. Sounds simple, but that one line made all the difference in setting the tone for the image. 3 years later, my 6th grade music teacher played a video for us, and they went through these drawings one by one along with the lines, and in the background was the bizarre piano playing that turned some of the images even more frightening. That's where this video comes from.

I called it "Childhood Nightmares" because the video we watched in 6th grade literally did give me nightmares. Plus is uses the song "The Well," from the Ring Soundtrack... and I think the little girl in that film was a nightmare in and of herself.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Little music shop in a mall in Colorado called Sam Goody. It was going out of business tho so it's not around anymore.

Thanks for taking the time to create this. I'm looking all over for that "official" vhs with the naration, but little luck on eBay or Amazon. This is the closest I may ever get to that cherished childhood memory. Brilliant.

I don't remember what the original was that I saw but it was special on the writer of those stories and at the end they went through the images one by one with this eerie music and it was just so scary. That's where I got the idea. I'm glad you liked it.

Lol. I am an odd cookie. This video is the best when you watch it in the dark. And yes, the book scared the crap out of me when I was little.
