Beware The Sandman (And Dario Argento. And Iggy Pop.)

Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend us your… eyes — while you still have them, that is.

**Beware The Sandman!**

Going back to the dark, original German legend: the REAL Sandman was someone who stole the eyes of any children that wouldn’t just close them and go to sleep… he’d then go feed them to his hungry children on the moon. How’s that for a bedtime story?

The Indiegogo Campaign was over December 2 and the money has been raised. I’m so excited to have contributed and to be part of this exciting new “neo giallo” project from the terror master, Dario Argento and singer/songwriter Iggy Pop.

I contributed because I wanted this project to happen, but I can’t lie, the perks are amazing. I’m getting a beautiful print out of the script signed and autographed by Argento and I can let them know what the autograph should say (within the bounds of good taste), along with A LOT of other cool stuff.

The film tells the story of Nathan, a young student in the city who struggles to forget his childhood trauma at the hands of the serial killer dubbed “The Sandman”: a masked killer who murders his victims with a lethally jagged melon spoon (yes, you read that right!), and claims their eyes as trophies. Nathan killed The Sandman years ago, on Christmas Eve, after he witnessed the murder of his mother, and the nightmare seems to be buried in the past … until he sees the beautiful woman who lives in the apartment across the way dying at the hands of that very same masked killer. This brutal murder plunges Nathan into an odyssey into the night country of his past, his dreams…and the buried secrets of… you guessed it!… The Sandman, who’s on the hunt again.
