description Nightmare Classics Overview
Nightmare Classics is a four-part horror anthology miniseries broadcast by Showtime in 1989. Each episode adapts a separate work of classic horror or Gothic literature for television, including Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Because the stories are independent adaptations, the series changes its characters, setting, and plot from one installment to the next.
