Orphaned at age 10 when his parents were brutally murdered on Christmas Eve, every night Alex dreams the same dream: cornered by a man in a wolf's mask, a knife is brought to Alex's throat, and then he wakes. But waking moments confirm his worst fears, and soon Alex is trapped in a tangle of suspicions, lies, and fear. Reality fades into terror as he is left alone to fight the relentless force that haunts his Deadly Dreams.<ref>{{cite web |title=Deadly Dreams – USA, 1988 |url=https://horrorpedia.com/2017/07/24/deadly-dreams-usa-1988-horror-movie-overview-cast-plot-reviews-trailer/ |website=www.horrorpedia.com |publisher=Horrorpedia |accessdate=17 August 2018}}</ref>
