Summary[]

Into Viltheed is the 2nd episode of the first season of The Dreamstone (and thus the 2nd of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 25th of September, 1990, alongside "The Dreamstone" as the Opening Special.

Synopsis[]

Rufus resolves to redeem himself by getting the Dreamstone back from Zordrak, and to rescue Amberley, who is now putting up quite a fight in Viltheed. Sgt Blob presents their winnings to a gleeful Zordrak, who drops the stone into the pit of his pet Frazznats to be lost forever, and turns Amberley to stone after making too much of a scene. He then releases his Argorribles into the Land Of Dreams, which is now vulnerable to their nightmares.

Rufus meanwhile met up with Pildit and spent the night with the Wuts, guardians of the land, only for him to be awoken by Pildit, chasing away an argoribble. The following morning, they begin their mission. Pildit gave Rufus a magic leaf for them to fly through the Mist of Limbo to get to Viltheed, but on the way, they had to confront the Urpneys in their Whirleyped, sent by Zordrak, and armed with the Egg of Death. After losing the Whirleyped in a canyon, Pildit and Rufus were then buried in a landslide created by Zordrak's fury, who then started to celebrate, along with the Urpneys to Rufus and Pildit's defeat.

Rufus survived, but is devastated at having seemingly lost Pildit in the landslide. After sneaking into Zordrak's lair, he managed to happen upon Amberley's stone body, breaking it's spell by tears of love. Now reunited, the Noops managed to retrieve the Dreamstone from the Frazznats pit. As the Noops were being chased by the Urpneys, they were then saved in a nick of time by Pildit, who had also survived the landslide. The Noops then escaped with Pildit and returned back to the Dream Maker's house as heroes, whilst Zordrak plots on how to get the Dreamstone back.

Last Line[]

"Dream Maker, Beware! The Force of Nightmares Never Sleeps, I WILL HAVE THE DREAMSTONE!!"


Trivia[]

  • This episode marks the first time Zordrak had his evil claws on The Dreamstone.
  • It is also the first episode Zordrak succeeds in mass spreading nightmares onto the Land of Dreams.
  • Counted as a separate episode, this is the second of five episodes not to have Frizz say the closing line. Instead it is by Zordrak.
  • Under the same conditions, this episode marks the first appearance of Urpgor and Pildit.
  • The episode is roughly inspired by the original manuscripts for the show by Mike Jupp.
  • This episode (alongside The Dreamstone) was adapted into Issue #1 of The Dreamstone Comic Series.

Goofs[]
