Surreal comedy, very weird but family-friendly. Based on the early 20th-century comic strip by Winsor McCay. The premise is simple: At bedtime, a man eats rarebit – a fried cheese dish – which gives him indigestion, which causes nightmares. Over and over again. And in those nightmares, anything can happen…
A giant mosquito wants to play tag…
A dentist goes spelunking in a woman’s cavernous mouth…
A man is turned into sausages and transported via telegraph…
Yes, Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend (based on the early 20th-century comic strip by Winsor McCay) is just a little bit surreal.
The premise is simple: At bedtime, a man eats rarebit – a fried cheese dish – which gives him indigestion, which causes nightmares. Over and over again. And in those nightmares, anything can happen…
