Hey OZšHere Europe before going to sleep š
Hi neighbour from NZ
Watch out for spiders
@soulstealer-i7cNah I Like Spiders š·ļø
Halloween is barely over and the king delivers.
Except, now you have to pay if you wanna have the Halloween videos. Very disappointed with Mr. nightmare forced you to pay for the Halloween ones.
@jholly5747really ? Wow thatās crazy
Never have i ever imagined seeing myself being this early to a Mr. Nightmare video and i donāt regret it
Me too gang, me too.
Me too XD
Same same with me ā¤š
Same just got to work too
Get a job
Always look forward to hearing these stories ā¤ļø
mr nightmare made me fall in love with horror
Sameee
Iād say he gave me a type of horror thatās super interesting without me having to worry about, well, having nightmares. I canāt do horror movies or haunted houses, but listening to these videos is easy. Thereās only one that I was too scared to get through.
He made me fall in love with you
ā@hannahlowe794this was quite a cute comment to read.
@harrydavey9884what? Maybe Mr. Nightmare can do a story on creepy comments on his video š
I am cozy in a blanket and ready to be inundated with fear and dread š
Comfy is the best way ā¤
Yay!!
That was me at 7:59am waiting for my alarm to turn on š®
I need to be cooking dinner but itās an easy meal max n cheese
š
Listening to Mr. Nightmare and a new video pops up for the first time ever!
These videos during nighttime before bedtime is the best experience
If a story starts with āwe thought itād be funā ā you already know it wonāt end well š
Haha .. yes!
Thatās why I love horror ā it always turns āfunā into absolute nightmare fuel š¬
The moment someone says āitāll be funā, you just know itās time to go home š
@SergiiZagorodnyi yes, me too!
Yes!
Been here for 10 years, hereās to many more

I find it it INSANE that you already have 500 videos, the dedication and hard work you put in your videos are great. Thank you Mr. Nightmare for now going onto eleven years.
Didn’t ask.
I always enjoy the non-themed videos, it’s more interesting when you don’t know what to expect.

@TheLastTale94no
The first guy and his type is exactly why many abandoned places end up being destroyed and looking so crappy.
So you just gonna ignore the murderous cult that was gonna kill them they are the ones that ruin places like that
āā@REAL-FrenchFry I live in the area where the first story takes place. Urban explorers are the reason these places go to shit. Usually, its teenagers trespassing-Breaking and destroying what’s left of the structure. Not once (in this area) has any damage come from an actual murderous cult. And besides if a cult were using it, why would they destroy it? That leaves them without a spot to worship…
@REAL-FrenchFryyeah because that wasnāt the point of my comment
Asking a guy to order you a drink and then walking away to the barhroom??? Girlies, no. Bad idea.
Yeah it’s crazy how trusting they were with 2 guys they just met
ā@mongoose9851 like obviously the two men are truly at fault here, but never ever trust a stranger with your drink. Personally, I never let a man buy me a drink.
A lot of these have people that have obviously never had anything scary happen to them lol
also noticed that, glad the guys were dumb enough to spike themselves
She was being dumb on purpose.
2:14 Fearless Freddie like the Thomas and friends character
0:12 this is story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down
And Iād like to take a minute, just sit right there, Iāll tell you why you shouldnāt explore abandoned buildings
š½š
@RoMaRobMarqin west Philadelphia born in raised inside abandoned buildings where I spent most of my days
@ecyaj1289š«µš»
ā@Em-tj6rhš¢ my hawt
Wow thatās a rare smart move switching the drinks that the girls wanted vs what the guys ordered for themselves but never let anyone order or gives you a drink let alone a freakin stranger
That whole story was BS. Two guys willingly downed drinks they had just spiked? Yeah, sure.
ā@jonsnowight9510yeah bro it just doesn’t make any sense. They started roasting them for having an apartment with minimal furniture, like that isn’t something that would be completely normal for a lot of guys š Either those guys are the dumbest date-rapists of all time, or they started drinking some of the harder stuff when she wasnt looking.
@jonsnowight9510 Yeah. It’s hard to imagine anyone who had just spiked drinks not just drinking a couple of sips and declaring they don’t like rum.
bs
Maybe marijuana is the answer
I swear the last story sounds like 2 guys I knew in college. Even have the same names and they’re still friends today.
then its probably the people your thinking about, ask them if they submitted the story
Yeah, that is pretty wild if so!
like a lot of these stories, I think the danger is from the tellers perspective. I think if these guys meant to get these girls drunk they wouldn’t have drank the drinks they gave them. I also think that the drinks would have messed the guys up long before they got to their house. She said they sobered up then got drunk again. What was the real danger here? haha
@cece.1.1why would those 2 guys submit this story
@nathenling3264 idk, why do you think they wouldnt?
Still waiting for the Girl in third story to swich the “smart” mode on š
SERIOUSLY
It’s possible that maybe they aren’t heavy drinkers and actually got drunk I mean rum is pretty strong and depending on the person they can be a bit sober but few white claws after that can knock them out especially since coke and white claws speed up alcohol absorption in the blood stream. It could be a misunderstanding
You know itās a good day when Mr. Nightmare posts
The ātrue scary storiesā videos are always better than ones with a theme- you never know what theyāre gonna be about
Like a box of chocolates.
Mr nightmare and autumn go together like peas and carrots
ā@mikebond6328 I understood that reference.
@SingleRiderGuy borderlands?
Hey your YouTube channel has my name in it. My name is Michael and my YouTube channel is called Michael-c8r.
story 3: alot of red flags in this one… shoot i don’t even like Accepting drinks from people I know lmao
Fair. āTrust but verifyā becomes ādonāt trust, verify anyway.ā My biggest red flag was the vibe switch the second they came back from the bathroom. Which moment tripped your alarm the most?
It doesnāt really make any sense to me. Why would they both drink the drugged drinks and then invite the girls over?
ā@altnap I’ve heard stories similar to the last one, the guys usually think the drug will have little to no effect on them because they’re “tough” or whatever guys that would do that sort of thing think of themselves
ā@Son0PoseidonIt’s possible that maybe they aren’t heavy drinkers and actually got drunk I mean rum is pretty strong and depending on the person they can be a bit sober but few white claws after that can knock them out especially since coke and white claws speed up alcohol absorption in the blood stream. It could be a misunderstanding
ā@rafaybutt7581I believe it was a misunderstanding. They were mixing alcohol and then went back home. When I’m mixing I get more drunk but the SECOND I walk through the door to my house, I’m wasted š .
22:55 Iām sorry WHAT ā if they suspected we knew something was up ā if youāre suspecting something is up why are you going to these random men houses after the barā¦ š
0 survival skills š
Because they’re brain dead
And so many comments are praising stupidity š. You’re a law student at NYU, play ditzy for fun, and allow your friend to believe Luke is the one despite the red flags. She truly adopted the ditzy girl act the entire night. Why go home with them? Because the odds are no longer in their favor at that point. Then, they proceed to stick around to look for incriminating evidence, like what???!! Count your blessings and run. I hope this story is fabricated, lol.
@donishaaaaLITERALLYā¦ā¦. after they passed out you shouldāve ran but then again you shouldnāt have even been there in the first place.. š
ā@donishaaaa something I’ve picked up on from watching so many mr nightmare videos. Women are TERRIBLE at making up stories. Almost every single one is trying to overly praise female op for not being like other girls, being super pretty and rich, and super smart, and then they proceed to narrate the most unbelievable stupid script you wouldn’t even find in Hollywood.
Why would those girls go back to those guys apartment if there already was red flags?!!!
https://youtu.be/sFHgfDdlY18
No no no, didnāt you hear the start of the story? Sheās a *smart* NYSU law school student. Going home with strange men half drunk is normally totally safe.
@HumanPerson_final i doubt she learns anything in law school, most likely skipped classes.
Just to see what happens, I guess š Either way they were safe ā if the drinks were messed with, they got out fine; if not, they just found themselves partners š
Women are stupid
The last story: So OP is saying those guys drank their own spiked drinks? I find that very hard to believe.
Eh, I can sort of get it. If you *don’t* drink it, then you’re admitting you’ve done something to the drink.
ā@Piratewaffle43 Exactly.
It’s possible that maybe they aren’t heavy drinkers and actually got drunk I mean rum is pretty strong and depending on the person they can be a bit sober but few white claws after that can knock them out especially since coke and white claws speed up alcohol absorption in the blood stream. It could be a misunderstanding
@rafaybutt7581 That didn’t explain why they look so quiet and expressionless when op and her friend return. Acting like that and just give two suspicious drinks the girls don’t recognize
Maybe EVERYONE in this story is just lacking a bit in the intelligence department lol
You expect me to believe those guys spiked the drinks and then forgot and drank them

Girls in the last story sound like the exact type of girls I avoid while out. Describing her friend as “mean” and “pretending to be ditzy to just turn it around on them”. Yeah, I’ll pass on that one.
Also, you get a weird vibe from two guys, so you go home with them???
fr these type of girls are arrogant asf
Mr Nightmare is the best storyteller voice. Thank you!!!!
Mr Nightmare just made my day.. I save these to listen to when I go to bed so I may go to bed early tonight ..thank you Mr Nightmare..
Love the sound effects and ambient music
This dude roofying a girl who was already planning on going home with him is like when the Patriots got caught recording opponents practices when they were the best team in the league already
Story 3: and women wonder why men donāt approach them anymore!! ššššššš
I woke up this morning feeling like crap, had a long day at work, a long work out, hot shower, ate something, now I’m under an electric blanket with my cat, my girlfriend is sound asleep, TIME TO RELAX and watch a new Mr Nightmare!!! Life is good. I am very grateful.
What are your thoughts on sodomy? What do you think it smells like? For me I always think about processed American cheese, vinegar, and that morning saliva smellā¦ do you think that five minutes before someone like summer ray poses her asss with a thawng that she was just defecating maybe gave it two wipes best, and now shows her turd cutter hole and that part thatās stuck between her cheeks has a distinct smell? Maybe some pieces of corn, carrots etc. lmk if this something you contemplated
Glad youāre feeling better ā¤
Sounds like a great day bro. Wholesome that all of us have our days then come back to this
Thatās what life is all about brother š„ šÆ
I love that for you ā¤
How many of these stories do we need before girls learn that you donāt go home with total strangers
Donāt think the girl in the last story is playing dumb
i literally came to bed expecting to scroll the shit out of his account to get to the unwatched stuff, but he were againš absolutely blessed.
Thank you Mr. Nightmare
I don’t think the girl in story #3 is pretending to be dumb as much as she likes to think
IKR! Going to a bar and taking drinks from strangers that you didn’t see poured out and put in front of you. Jumping into a car with a pair of randos to go back to their place. How dingy can you get?
Well she did admit that they werenāt the smartest lol
ā@anonymousdragon7765yeah after that whole rant of pretending to be ditzy but really being smarter lol
āIām usually the one to make poor, spontaneous decisions.ā Proceeds to do just that, and let her friend do it, too.
She sounds like a complete moron
18:34 so she purposefully acts unintelligent around guys, to make them assume things. Then directly complains about guys thinking sheās unintelligent and assuming things. Haha thatās a trip
Yeah would do you want her to represent you as your attorney?
Proved her point.
ā@mythoughts4975 If I had her as a lawyer I would tell the judge to give me the death penalty immediately š.
This story brought to you by ChatGPT.
Last video is so funny her talking about not being stupid yet being incredibly stupid in the story and not calling the cops š
Story 1: āI know it doesnāt sound scary when I break it down like thisā
BRO THIS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING EVER
says she isnāt dumb and proceeds to:
-let ādecentā man strangers buy them drinks
-walk away from drink, go to bathroom
-doesnāt discourage her friend from going home with stranger????
-noticing sketch behavior n red flags, switches drinks after suspicion of them being roofied
-confidently downs it assumes nothing else is in āobviously girly drinkā
– [death glare] āhaha anyway- how bout yāall come back to my unfurnished meth house n listen to music ;)ā
-dudes pass out, girls SIT for a FEW MINUTES and try to,, find evidence? girl they ARE the evidence??? that bars cameras, witnesses, bartender or like? your friend???
-never reported it,, endangering + enabling and literally giving a free pass for it to happen to anyone else
smart asf
This is why I love Mr. Nightmareās storytelling ā calm voice, realistic pacing, and that slow build that actually feels possible.
Iāve recently started narrating similar true horror stories myself, but using my own voice for the first time.
Itās surprisingly hard to capture that same āreal worldā fear. Massive respect. š
16:36 wow police that actually did something!
For a law student, the woman in the last story could not have been anymore stupid with all the terrible decisions she made.
I agree. And I’m not even convinced those guys had any bad intentions. At the very least, seeing them fall asleep on the couch didn’t “prove” anything!
catherine seems pretty smart for a future lawyer
Yeah I agree š
lol
Really makes you weep for the future.
You went to the bathroom with your friend and let two strange men you don’t know order your drinks?š
“Freddy was the most fearless, so he brought up the rear” … Giggity!
Girls. Never take a drink from a guy unless you take it directly from the bartender
