I can relisten to the commentary, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't drunk, and I don't generally hear things that aren't there. For the record, the DVD I was listening to was the one from Netflix, and might not necessarily be the one from the box set you're talking about.

The general idea that you implied was stated at one point in the commentary, though he didn't go into that much detail. I can guarantee that he did say that there were at least three separate newspaper articles claiming this same thing happening to three different people. He did mention one of the kids who died this way having a coffee-maker under his bed as well. I'm not saying he got all his info right, he could have just as easily been mixing up memories of different scary stories and newspaper stories he had heard of the years. But, the general gist of the idea was that some kids somewhere had had bad dreams (at least on three separate occassions with three separate newspaper articles) that had been so bad they told their parents about it and told them that they didn't want to go back to sleep. At some point or another all of these kids eventually went back to sleep and never woke up, and they could find no real reason for them to have died.

I hope someone else has heard this or has any clue about these articles, it sounds like such a cool idea that this could be based on semi-fact, but it also screams Urban Legend, in that "A Friend of a Friend" (or an obscure Newspaper article) told me this.

For the record, the commentary had Wes Craven, the guy who played Nancy's dad, Nancy, and the directory of photography. Like I said, he also mentioned the kid with the coffee-pot under his bed, but he definitly mentioned the newspaper stories about kids dying after having nightmares.


Thanks again,
