My wife went out first for the evaluation, and then they flew us out for the filming. We were the very last to be filmed. Was a great experience. My wife’s favorite actor is Robert and she let him know in her audition tape. They literally picked her because of it, She showed all of her “Nightmare” memorabilia and we got the call. Like I said because of her being a fan we spent a lot of time with Robert and he is incredible! Just so full of knowledge. The money was great, but the experience for my wife and I will be what sticks with us for a lifetime.

That was Chris and his fear of rats. He was at the Beverly Garland with me and 2 others. We were the first 4 to come out for our evaluations/tests, etc. It was Chris from Indiana, Brittany from Illlinois (I think) James W. from Texas (Corpus Christi) and me from Arkansas. We really cut up when we were there. Jon Kroll came to the hotel to meet with us. It was my first trip to LA and Kelly took us everywhere. A good experience….except for about 20 minutes when they sent me up the fire escape and I lost it. LOL.

The other intro is a fear of rats.

Hmmm wonder if it was mine. I had fear of heights based on a nightmare about ascending a high staircase in an old hotel. My whole episode was very faith-based. Unusual, but interesting.

Unfortunately no, the only thing I know is there are two people per episode, I saw the brief introduction of another persons “Nightmare” but it cuts right after my wife’s it’s about 15 minutes.

My wife’s situation was a little different they kept in contact with us for a while. Robert Englund really took a liking to us. There are some interviews you can read where he states that right at the end they fiImed one which really showed them the direction they wanted to take the show (which was my wife’s), He compared my wife to Shelley Duvall in the shining, her episode was a lot more horror-centric, He spoke of her episode pretty directly in every interview about it he did. We spent a lot of time with him when they flew us out to Hollywood. I also have recovered the episode and I have a copy of it now. I will not release it, but I am willing to possibly show it to certain people if we can set it up in some way. I have an unused screenshot I can send for proof if there are any doubters.

How did you get the footage of your wife’s challenge? I never heard from them again after they shelved it. Nothing.

Most of the time, when a computer dies, it’s just one small component that’s gone bad either with the hardware or operating system that makes it impossible to turn on or reach the contents of your hard drive, but the hard drive itself is almost always just fine.

If you didn’t toss the computer out (hopefully), the hard drive can be pulled out and its data accessed very easily. You can buy an “internal hard drive adapter” or “internal hard drive dock” off Amazon for dirt cheap.

If you still have it, I’d be happy to help. Thanks!

I had footage of my wife’s but I lost it when my laptop died.

I downloaded them from my old dinosaur computer. They aren’t that good, but……I’ll send some tonight then look for the rest as I go.. The originals? Who knows. I have changed computers 4 times since then. I’ll try.

If you find them, make sure to email me the original, raw image files, to make sure I have the highest quality copies for sharing. Many services tend to compress, crop, and resize upon uploading, degrading quality.

We could make it a guest post if you like, so you can share your story as well. Either way, I’ll definitely make sure to credit you and link to your site if you have one.

Thanks. :)

I’ll see if I can locate them in my files. I could actually post them here, even.

Oh man. Would you send those to me?: black@halloweenlove.com

I’d love to share them on the site.
