Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast

When Nightmares Become Reality | Buffy S1E10 “Nightmares”


Listen Later

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re facing our fears with Season 1, Episode 10 — “Nightmares.” What starts as a run-of-the-mill Sunnydale day quickly spirals into full-on subconscious horror as everyone’s worst fears start coming true. Homework, clowns, spiders, and deeply buried trauma? Absolutely not.


We break down Buffy’s terrifying confrontation with her own doubts, fear of public humiliation (relatable), and how this episode quietly deepens the emotional stakes of Season 1 while still delivering peak monster-of-the-week weirdness. Plus: why this episode hits harder than it has any right to this early in the series.


Grab your crucifix, face your inner demons, and maybe avoid the basement — it’s Buffy at its darkest, strangest, and most psychologically revealing yet.


Slay along with us every Tuesday!Watch Episode 11: “Out of Mind, Out of Sight” before next week — and until next Tuesday… if the apocalypse comes, beep us!
