Nightmare Cafe
Nightmare Cafe is a short-lived American telefantasy program which aired on NBC for an abridged first season from January to April 1992.

A total of six episodes were produced before low ratings led to its cancellation. The series has subsequently been shown on the Sci Fi Channel as part of their Series Collection.
