This sounds repetitive of the other posts here, but there has never been a movie that has scared or haunted me like Don't Go to Sleep. My grandmother had it on video when I was a kid, and I used to watch it over and over. There is one scene that, unless I was feeling really brave, I would always close my eyes. It's the one where Mary goes to hide under the bed and sees her dead sister for the first time. It was the way the sister was smiling. Creepiest. Scene. Ever. In any movie. For years, YEARS! I couldn't look under a bed. Even today as a full grown, sort of adult I can't forget that creepy smile. Actually I found this board today because I went to get a box from under the bed, and that scene just popped into my head. So I decided to search for this movie. I'm now really excited to hear about a potential remake. I'm also excited to see the youtube link. (Thanks!) I hope the 'smile' scene is one of the clips. I'd love to see it again, to see if it's as scary now as I remember it to be.

Dear Ned Wynn, I can't wait until this movie gets a proper DVD release, so i can relive my child hood memories with this film. I woke up last night at 3:41 AM, with some of the music from DGTS playing in my head. (The part that plays just before Valarie Harper hears Jennifer knocking and appearing before her) It was creepy considering it was dark, everyone in my house weas sleeping, and it was time to take my meds. Luckily I got back to sleep and go a few zzzzzzzz's.
This is one of the ultimate cult horror classics ever!
Also recommended: Sleepaway Camp, Dont Be Afraid Of The Dark, Burial Ground, Mother's Day, and The Deadly Spawn.
Happy Nightmares, Kids! -

So glad this was on youtube! Then again, basically every made-for-TV movie from that era exists on youtube in some form. Cool to see a filmmaker talking on IMDB forums, rather than a bunch of whiners and trolls! Way to go keylime!

Hi, Ned. Any more news on the remake?
Just saw you and your clan on TV last night ABSENT MINDED PROF.
Hadn't heard of DGTS until today; sounds great. Also want to find CALIFORNIA DREAMING. The IMDb discussion of it sounds very good.

I wasn't a child when I saw this movie, I was around 15 years old, and it scared me more than any movie on the big screne durring my high school years. It was so well done! Oh, how I hope this will be redone by you!!!
Don't Go To Sleep (and Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, both made for tv movies, almost a decade apart), were the two movies that actually shaped my fears. Such a great movie!! -

I just watched this on youtube after reading about it on kindertrauma and I loved it! Obviously a remake hasn't happened..
"DM and GdelT*, who want to produce the remake, have picked LMcK to direct it."
I know it's random but does anyone have any guesses for who DM was? The other two were fairly obvious to me but I just can't think of who it might be.. -

Hi Ned,
I remember reading a long time ago that you were planning to do a remake of DGTS.
But you didn't have the script or the movie itself from which to do this. What has been the latest with regards to the remake. Because I have to admit, the original film was brilliant so well done with that, but sometimes as your aware there have been classic movies which have been ruined by remakes. I hope this movie won't be one of them.
I don't know if this will be of any help to you. But a little while ago while I was on the US version of EBAY. I came across the script of DGTS and you could buy it now.

Anyway please let us know what the latest with regards to the remake.

Now that they've remade Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (another old school horror TV movie), if it does well, maybe a remake for Don't Go to Sleep would become a possibility.

Mister Anderson,
I don't wish to burst your bubble. But I have seen the remake of Don't be Afraid of the dark and it was rubbish. But saying that, I'll let you decide if you wish to see it and I won't give too much away.
To be honest with you, I wasn't that impressed with the original movie.
