Part 1 - 1983 horror anthology Nightmares may contain easteregg references to the FUTURE roles of actor Emilio Estevez. In the second segment "The Bishop Of Battle" (25 minutes long starting at the 20 min. mark), Estevez stars as J.J., an arcade video game ace, Billy Jayne (Parker Lewis Can't Lose) plays his friend Zock & James Tolkan voices the game adversary:
- At 34 min. 44 sec. a predictive nod to 1990 comedy Men At Work may be seen in the form of a road sign (circled) that appears in his character's bedroom. It reads "CAUTION MEN WORKING"
- At 25 min. 58 sec. a predictive item may appear to Disney's The Mighty Ducks youth hockey film series may be shown. Signage appears across the street from the arcade for the Woolworth's department store. I thought this may be a wordplay reference to Disney's DuckTales (1987-1990) animated series. Scrooge McDuck and Huey, Dewey, and Louie starred in this (it was also produced as a Nintendo game by publisher Capcom). Uncle Scrooge's butler in Ducktales is named DuckWorth.

00:051983 horror anthology Nightmares, directed by Joseph Sargent and written by Jeffrey Bloom
00:13and Christopher Crow. The cast consisted of Christina Rains, Anthony James, William Sanderson,
00:20Lance Henriksen, Richard Mazur, and Veronica Cartwright. For this video, I will focus on
00:27the second segment, The Bishop of Battle, featuring Emilio Estevez, Moon Unit Zappa, and Billy
00:34Jane. James Tolkien provides the voice of the game adversary, The Bishop of Battle. The second
00:41story in the anthology, this is around 25 minutes long. This segment starts around the 20 minute
00:48mark. Estevez's character is JJ, a video game ace or wizard. Nightmares may contain productive
00:57Easter eggs to the future acting roles of Emilio Estevez. An obvious example, at 34 minutes,
01:0544 seconds, his character is at home in his bedroom and hanging on the wall on the left-hand side
01:13of
01:14the screen. It appears to be a road sign, and it reads, caution men working. A variation on this
01:19phrase, men at work, was the title of a 1990 film starring Estevez and Charlie Sheen. This action
01:29comedy thriller has the pair playing garbage collectors. They cause all kinds of mischief with
01:34the neighbors and police. They uncover a mystery in the course of their duties. Keith David and Dean
01:40Cameron were also in this. At 25 minutes, 58 seconds, JJ and Zock leave the arcade in the city,
01:47and outside across the street, you can see the signage for the Woolworths department store. I
01:54recognize this as a possible reference to Walt Disney's youth hockey movie series, The Mighty Ducks.
02:03And the link, I think it's through DuckTales. This was an animated TV series by Disney, which ran between
02:101987 and 1990, featuring the characters Uncle Scrooge, Scrooge McDuck, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie. The
02:20butler in DuckTales is named Duckworth. My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic. There I go back and look
02:28at movies and television from the past. I analyze these for possible references to future media.
02:34These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams. Hidden in the subtext of the work in
02:40question, I also use an unconventional method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
02:47And what I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items, and
02:53show
02:53past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities that may resemble the
03:00personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching. My email contact is
03:08EasterEggGuy, that's G-U-Y, at Yahoo.com. Thanks for watching.
