Curiosidades

Parasomnia is a 2008 American supernatural horror film written and directed by William Malone and starring Jeffrey Combs, Timothy Bottoms, Sean Young, and Dylan Purcell. Its plot follows a young woman suffering from a rare sleep disorder that causes her to sleep her life away. The film was funded by Malone himself, and its release was delayed due to difficulties securing distribution.

Production

Malone wrote the screenplay while he was working on the Masters of Horror episode "Fair-Haired Child". The film was financed by Malone and his friends, and filmed on the same stage on which he directed House on Haunted Hill (1999).

The imagery in the film was inspired by surrealist artist Zdzisław Beksiński, as well as the horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920).
