Impressions of a childhood nightmare. This auto-biographical memory recounts childhood nightmares experienced by the filmmaker after hunting for worms the night before a fishing trip. NIGHTCRAWLER is intended to be seen both as a humorous reminiscence, and a creepy, crawly childhood horror show - depending on the viewer's own perspective.

Through images, sounds and handwritten text, a boy recounts his experience of hunting for nightcrawlers (worms) the night before his father takes him on a fishing trip, and how the experience gives him nightmares of worms crawling all over his body.
