Nightmare: The Video Board-game (1991): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1991, Nightmare: The Video Board-game is a notable film directed by Phillip Tanner, running about 60 minutes. “TURN THE VOLUME UP AND THE LIGHTS DOWN” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Packaged with the game is a sixty-minute video cassette that explains how to set up and play the game. The video contains footage of The Gatekeeper, a man who often interrupts the game to occasionally punish or reward the players at random. For example, if a player fails to answer him with "Yes, my Gatekeeper", he may banish them to the Black Hole. At the end of the game, if no player has won, the Gatekeeper appears and ends the game, declaring himself the winner.

Who’s in it. Nightmare: The Video Board-game stars Wenanty Nosul as The Gatekeeper.
