Suspens, seals outstanding, pitter of thrills brings you an hour, a full 60 minutes of Suspens. Tonight starring Eddie Bracken and featuring William Conrad in Nightmare, based on the short story by William Irish, directed by Anton M. Leader and produced by Robert Montgomery.

This is Robert Montgomery. Good night. You know when you stop to think about it, one One of the nicest things we say to one another is, good night. A lot of thoughts are implied in those two words, and all of them are good.

Actually what we're saying is, have a good night. May it bring you rest, may you sleep well, and if your sleep is invaded by dreams, may they be pleasant dreams. All good, well-intended thoughts bound up neatly into two brief words, good night, and sleep itself is a condition that most of us welcome.

Quite apart from the biological need it serves, we're grateful for the momentary escape, for being removed from reality, for the quiet, peaceful hours on the fringe of consciousness, and so most of us, most of the time, anticipate the night and sleep. Families and good friends regularly surrender each other to the gentle care of the night and call it a good thing,

but in the blackest recesses of night there can be terror, and the very night that offers you sleep may also offer the torment of dark dreams, vivid, terrible, half-real dreams that grip you, plague you with horror through the night, and are reluctant to release you to the morning.

Fear, panic, terror, of such stuff are nightmares made. Nightmares like the one we bring you tonight. And now with Nightmare, one of the best known and most imaginative short stories of Cornell will reach, writing as William Irish, and with our star Eddie Bracken, we again hope to keep you in...
