The Mirror
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
An unnamed woman keeps spotting a bandaged ghoul behind her in a bathroom mirror, although he vanishes whenever she turns around. His increasingly silly props undercut the scares, and a bathroom intrusion reverses their roles as successive awakenings reveal nightmares within nightmares. A fleeting werewolf sends the sequence into Dracula’s bedroom, where his wife Debbie is more concerned about a forgotten birthday gift than the monsters. The film returns to the original sleeper for one final bedside scare.

Notes from the archive.
On the creators’ podcast, Andy Samberg explains that the idea grew from his own fear of seeing someone behind him in a bathroom mirror after watching The Descent.
