A Nightmare on Drug Street is a 1989 direct-to-video anti-drug short film directed by Traci Wald Donat. The film follows three deceased young characters, Felipe, Jill and Eddie, who now exist only as spirits in a dark purgatory, where they lament the things they can no longer enjoy. The reason they're dead is that they each decided to do drugs, a decision they now regret. Then, they procede to tell each other's stories of how they got involved with drugs and consequently perished:
-Felipe, a high-school senior and basketball athlete, smoked dope and drank beer. One evening, he went joyriding while under the influence of both, and inevitably got into a fatal car accident.
-Jill, a high-school freshman, was introduced to cocaine, as a mood enhancer. She quickly became addicted, and went through a downward spiral, where she gave away all her money and cherished possessions for more cocaine, and even went as far as to steal from family and friends. Finally, after a final but desperate trade, she died of an overdose of cocaine and unidentified pills.
-Eddie, a 5th grader, was pressured by his friends to experiment with crack cocaine, and he reluctantly smoked some. That evening at dinner, Eddie's parents suspected something was up with him, but they shrugged it off as a cold or allergy, until Eddie suddenly went into cardiac arrest and died, from the crack's effect on a heart defect he unknowingly had.
