We've come to the "Nightmare" corner.

This week I've invited the star of tonight's "Nightmare,"

who's from Agropoli. Hello.

This is Enrico Giuliano.

He's 18.

Tell us how you ended up starring in a "Nightmare."

I wrote a letter...

Ah, here's the microphone.

I wrote in

and I sent two photos.

Great.

And how was it being in front of the camera?

Did they just stick you in front of it?

It was a bit of a shock

because it was my first time so...

Did I intimidate you?

- No, you didn't. - No?

At the end of the nightmare I saw you pull a funny face.

Was that because the finale shocked you a bit?

- Maybe a bit, yeah! - Really?

So what do you think after this little experience?

Would you like to carry on being an actor or not?

Yes, I'd love to.

Right then, let's see the nightmare.

The title's a bit strange.

"The Nightmare of the Person Who Wanted to Star in

'Dario Argento's Nightmare.“

Enrico Giuliano is 18 and he's from Agropoli,

near Salerno.

He wanted to star in one of my "Nightmares,"

so he sent me a letter with two photos.

As fate would have it,

I had a "Nightmare"

that was perfect for Enrico.

And so Enrico received

a letter from the producers,

telling him to come to the DE Paolis studios in Rome.

Enrico turned up on time for his appointment.

- Who are you here to see? - I'm Enrico Giuliano.

Dario Argento called me in

to star in one of his "Nightmares."

You? Are you sure?

Yes. This is the letter from Dario.

Hmm, let me see.

Come in.

In there.

Dario?

It's Enrico, for the "Nightmare"!

Ah, right, Enrico, of course!

To shoot the "Nightmare."

But unfortunately today I'm...

I'm very busy.

Listen...

Would you mind...?

I'll see you tomorrow, Enrico. Laura will look after you.

Enrico, come with me.

So, this is the voucher for your accommodation.

It's a boarding house where you'll be very comfortable.

And come back tomorrow.

Bye!

This is for Level G.

Level G?

What does that mean?

It's the cheapest one.

Shared accommodation.

Shared?

Your bed's over there, kid.

Goodnight.

Are you sure I'm supposed to sleep in that room?

With all those people?

They're foreigners!

What are you, a racist?

No, no!

They paid the cheapest tariff, Level G.

Someone's taken my wallet!

There was all my money and my ID!

If it was a joke...

You again, kid? Shut up!

They've stolen my money and my documents.

They were here, in my jacket!

Do something!

Those men in the room!

Hello? Argento Productions?

I'm at the Floris Hotel.

It's a horrible dump!

With shared accommodation!

Foreigners...

They threatened me!

They've stolen my wallet!

What are you talking about?

Why are you at the Floris?

It said on the voucher

that you gave me!

Me?

Hang on. I'll check and I'll call you back.

Hurry!

Been spying on us for Dario Argento, eh?

You know what happens to spies, right?

That's enough! Stop!

It's over!

That was the "Nightmare"!

Thank Heavens for that!

Well done, Enrico. Good performance!

And that's the end!

That's the end.

We cinema people get accused of being a bit cynical

because

while the public's applauding the opening of one film,

we're already thinking about the next,

the next one.

We're always in a race against time

in cinema and in TV.

I've just finished a film, OPERA,

and I've got this show, "Giallo,"

and now I've got to leave, write, shoot...

- Right, Coralina? - Traveling, working...!

But here at RAI, I've been able

for the first time in my life to meet

a lot of you, to hear about your needs, your dreams,

and it's been pretty unforgettable,

so a big hug to all of you.

- Me, too! - And to you,

I promise I'll never disappoint you.

I'll think about all of you.

I'll look at all the photos you've sent me.

Over to you, Enzo. Bye!

And above all, thanks to you and your hard work!
