Around the year 2010, I watched a tv station that might have been Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. I lived in Louisiana at the time, and I am pretty sure this wasn’t on LPB, PBS or Disney Channel. My memory is probably way off.

I’m not sure if it was an episode of a cartoon or just a “short.” I’m also not sure if it aired during Halloween. A boy got into bed for the night. I can’t remember what happened. But I know people were abducting children in the local area. Maybe both boys and girls. The children’s beds were coming to life like quadrupeds to carry the children to a hole into the underworld. I’m assuming this hole must have opened in the ground. I don’t think it was a sewer. I’m honestly not sure how they got the kids outside. I guess their beds ran out the door or flew through the window. One of the abductors was a girl. I think she was dressed like a Mongolian or Samauri warrior or maybe a ninja…? It was a mostly black outfit. Maybe some red. I think her hair was black. She got onto the bed of the main-character boy and puckered her lips like she wanted to kiss him. I’m not sure if he reciprocated her advance. He might have been afraid of her. His bed jumped into the big, dark hole bringing them into the underworld. Many other beds with children on them did the same thing.

I remember being horrified by this as a kid. I especially feel bad for the young audience it was intended for. This whole thing could have been just a nightmare of the boy.

I saw a film on TV a handful of years ago. I believe it was European. I don’t remember any dialogue, but I believe it was not in English.

It was about a young woman who formed a musical/dance group with two or three guys. They performed at a competition where the prize was money. They whole group wore tuxedos in their number. I believe the woman had dark hair.

They were supposed to donate the money they won to a little girl with a severe illness. Instead they decided to gamble with a part of the money. (I don’t remember what they were betting on. It was something other people were competing in.) Then temptation lead them to gamble more and they lost all of the money.

Later in the film, the young woman went to the ill girl’s house. The home was in the countryside I believe. The woman stood on top of a van and sang very beautifully. This song was obviously meant as an apology. The girl sat at her bedroom window, not looking at the woman, with a very grim expression on her face.

That’s all I remember. Thanks.
