Bad Dreams is a 1988 American horror film co-written and directed by Andrew Fleming and starring Jennifer Rubin, Bruce Abbott, E.G. Daily, Harris Yulin and Richard Lynch. It was produced by Gale Anne Hurd. The plot follows a young woman who awakens from a thirteen-year-long coma and finds herself being stalked by the ghost of a cult leader who led a mass suicide by fire that she survived as a young girl.
In 1975, a sinister hippie cult called Unity Fields commits mass suicide in a horrific manner - by fire - at the behest of its psychopathic leader, Franklin Harris (Richard Lynch). Only one young woman named Cynthia (Jennifer Rubin) survives to tell the tale, though she lies in a coma for thirteen years. After she wakes, Cynthia has grim reminders of the mass suicide, as people around her begin to die one at a time. Cynthia finds out quickly that the ghost of Harris is back to claim his 'love child'.
The film was released theatrically in the United States by 20th Century Fox on April 8, 1988. It grossed $9,797,098 at the U.S. box office.
The film was released on DVD in the United States by Anchor Bay Entertainment in 2006. This version is currently out of print.
The film was released by Shout Factory along with Visiting Hours as a double feature DVD on September 13, 2011.
