Ah...I remember when this came out and was bummed when they canceled it. It was this show that taught me the meaning of something as simple as "XYZ...Examine your zipper." LOL Thank you SO much for posting! Couldn't find it anywhere else. :o)

couldn't remember the name of this show...it was just a couple images in my head from childhood...i googled and googled...found a message board or 2 that thought it was Midnight Cafe...but here it is... google, youtube, and people connecting around the world to find this little show. amazing to me. Now let's watch. It's been 20 years,

@TheMatt875 It's weird nobody cared enough to it on youtube other than me. I guess all they needed was a Jack Coleman fan. ; ) Enjoy! :D

I've never heard of this show. I was watching The SImpsons on DVD. It was one of the Halloween episodes that had the segment called Nightmare Cafeteria. I was listening to the the commentary, and one of the guys said that it was based on this show. So I came to YouTube to see if somebody posted it, and here it is! :) I haven't watched it yet, but I hope it's like Freddy's Nightmares. That show isn't that great IMO, but there's something about it that's appealing about it to me.

@spongebob03 I can't say it's like Freddy's Nightmares. :) Nightmare Cafe has an ongoing storyline with a cast. I think it can be said that the cafe itself is a cast member. The cast has nice chemistry and watching their interactions is fun. Thank you for mentioning that The Simpsons episode! I think I watched it but I forgot all about it. Too bad Nightmare Cafe had a short life.

HOORAYYY!!!! Robert Englund, Modern day Vincent Price (rip)

When I watch these older shows, I'm always blown away by how much slower and more deliberate the pacing is, which I think really allows for much more tension to build. When's the last time you saw an episode of CSI that actually gave you a minute to soak in the settings and the ambiance before bombarding you with rushed dialogue and spastic scene changes?

Maybe these newbie directors think they have to do that to get younger viewers, but I'm 25 and I'd much rather watch something like this.

I always loved this show growing up. I think it would do much better these days if it was reworked a little bit.
