The horror of sleep paralysis is very real. While science can explain the biological phenomenon, what it can't explain is why so many of its sufferers see eerily similar figures of shadowy human forms. A new documentary, The Nightmare (Watch Trailer), explores the terror through the eyes of eight sufferers. The film’s director, Rodney Ascher, along with Forrest Borie (first 90 minutes), who's had the condition for years, joined Connie Willis (email) to discuss the pain, torture, and serious horror of this mysterious and debilitating condition.
