Miami HeraldBill Cosford
Offers a few strange twists on well-used material. [12 Sep 1983, p.C5]

The New York TimesJanet Maslin

Washington PostRita Kempley
Nightmares, an anthology of suspense shorts, is about as scary as getting up to face another day. It's teddy-bear terrifying, definitely not for those who're into blood and guts. [09 Sep 1983, p.23]
