Nightmare Classics (also known as Shelley Duvall's Nightmare Classics) is an American anthology series created, produced and executive produced by Shelley Duvall featuring adaptations of well-known horror stories by authors including Henry James, Sheridan Le Fanu, Robert Louis Stevenson and Ambrose Bierce. Following the success of her two previous anthology series – Faerie Tale Theatre and Tall Tales & Legends – both of which were aimed at the elementary-school set, Duvall attempted to branch out to the teenage and adult audience with Nightmare Classics.
Nightmare Classics originally aired on Showtime from August 12 to November 26, 1989. Although planned as a six-episode series, only four were ultimately produced and it was the least successful series that Duvall produced for Showtime.
Following their initial broadcast on Showtime, all four episodes of Nightmare Classics were released as a stand-alone VHS in 1990 by Cannon Video.
