It's colin Carroll by the way, it may say calling Carol but that is not my name. The stupid autocorrect screwed up for me
I have recently heard about a book that is the sequel to "The Nightmare Before Christmas"; and it is about Sally who feels trapped by her life in Halloween Town, despite her freedom from Dr. Finklestein and to make a long story short, she finds out about her parents, her abduction from her childhood home, and that the sandman was acting evil because of his lack of sleep because of his unending job, and she discovers other worlds of Holidays that haven't been much explored.
I’m trying not too get angry but they need to say my name lupus

I haven't seen the video yet, but I just wanna say how much I loved the Rise of The Guardians movie
Same!
All I'll say about it is this: don't mess with the Sandman!
I liked the movie a lot too.
same bro
Neil Gaiman,s DC Comics Morpheus (Dream Of The Endless) Is by far my favorite version of Sandman. the storyline and his siblings is a trip to behold . the visual novel and art by Dave McKean is so captivating.
Not to mention how gorgeous he is and how sexy his voice is in the live action series
One of my oldest friends in fiction. ❤
I’m so glad it’s getting more episodes. Yes episodes not season, Neil Gaiman sees this as one entire season. So technically it’s a season 2, just without the borders to separate the episodes.
Here in germany, we have a TV-show called 'Sandmännchen' since, the 70s or 60s, i think. The intro always shows the Sandmännchen coming by everchanging ways of transportation, like a tug-boat, rocket, unicorn, helicopter, you get the picture. He meets some kids/friends and then showing them a short film. In the ending he throws his sand and everyone gets tired and goes to sleep and the Sandmännchen leaves the same way he came. It's an east german icon and one of the few things that survived from GDR after german Reunion.
Pure Kindheit! ☺️
I used to watch that as a kid on NDR. The Sandmännchen always creeped me out, mainly his appearance. Seeing this video, I guess it's just lucky they didn't take the Hoffmann direction...
I told my son that dreams were our brain telling us stories and that’s why sometimes if we’re sad we may have bad dreams and then when we are happy we can have good dreams, that it was our brain telling us how we feel underneath.
My brain telling me that it hates me: "You know that even in your worst nightmares, you can't experience death because we don't know what it actually feels like? Good news! You know what dying in a video game and respawning feels like! So enjoy dreaming about being stuck in a horror VR game that saved right before your death."
I’ll never look at the sandman the same again 💀
Ha!😂
How often do you look at him? Cuz I've never seen him.
But he’ll be looking at you
Always
@@froggers-0369 oh that’s sinister… and I love it lol
I was actually told a scary sandman version growing up. My Mamama from Peru (her and my Papo immigrated to America in the 1970s), used to always tell me the story of a sandman that would come and get me if I didn't go to bed early. But, instead of it being a sandman, it was a sand woman.😅 She said she would come through the wall to come and get me, and pulling me in. Scared the crap out of me lol
How do you fall asleep after that? I'd be up all night.
that is TERRIFYING
I shit my pants
The real life sandman: WHY THE HECK AIN'T YOU ASSLEEP YET!
My mom told me that she encountered the Sandman when she was a kid. She said he gave her a glass of warm milk and sprinkled the sand in her eyes when she was done. The cup was still on her nightstand when she woke up.
Your mom is lying
@mfjudge9212, either you're a stuck up know it all or you're mom was a total asshile with you. It's the cuteness of the imagination our parents had, it's not like a grand conspiracy you see, but nobody else gets.
I grew up in Germany and I remember in the evenings there was this stop motion thing that would play on TV after some cartoons where the sandman ends the show and I think he flew around and spread his sand. I don't remember much else, but the sandman was a popular tradition in the Bavarian area of Germany where i grew up
Oh, it's popular everywhere in Germany. We actually adopted the east-german sandman when we reunited.
The sandman always travels via different transportation (bycicle, hot air balloon, on foot, train...) and wants to put the kids to sleep. but the children beg him with a song to watch a little movie with them. that movie then play (mostly a lovely tiny story about tiny adventures or friendship with puppets or hand drawn with recurring characters like Pittiplatsch. those were famous before sesame characters came over from the US) and after the movie they sing the song again with changed lyrics so that the kids go to bed, and the sandman keeps on travelling to the next house
First song via memory.. pretty sure those are the right words =)
Sandmann lieber Sandmann es ist noch nicht so weit..
Wir sehen erst den abendgruß
Bevor jedes Kind ins Bettchen muss...
Du hast gewiss noch Zeit.
(Sandman, dear Sandman, it's not time yet.
We first watch the evening greetings
Before every child needs to go to bed.
You sureley have the time)
As a Dane 🇩🇰 I am genuinely impressed by your pronunciation of Ole Lukøje 👍
We also have a lullaby song called: “Den lille Ole med paraplyen” which translates to “Little Ole with the umbrella”
In Denmark (H.C. Andersen’s native country )Ole Lukøje is most commonly known as a little creature who makes children fall asleep, with his magical umbrella and give them lovely dreams. 😅
YOOO I pronounced a foreign word right?! This is cause for celebration 🥳
The first time I ever heard of the Sandman was on an episode of Bobby's World, where he appears in front of Bobby as a surfer dude and asks him for directions to Kelly's room. After Bobby directs him there and he leaves, Bobby tells the viewers that he sent him to Derek's room. The next morning, Derek complains about having a funny dream about Kelly's boyfriend, while Kelly complains about a strange skateboarding contest dream.
I'm not positive but I feel like for me it was probably that episode of The Golden girls where they're singing to the neighbors baby they're watching who is sick
My guy you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to talk about this
I think the freakiest Sandman I've seen was that episode of Are You Afraid Of The Dark where the Sandman was played by Bobcat Goldthwait. If Bobcat jumped out from under my bed I'd need new pants.
I liked how he was funny but he still was threatening
I loved Are you Afraid of the Dark, scared the hell outta me as a kid. But somehow I missed that episode
@@stephanieperri5012 Season 2 Episode 1 The Tale Of The Final Wish
That sounds both traumatizing and hilarious.
"Because folkore"... Absolutely iconic
I was hoping that Dream from the Sandman would be referenced here. I love the lore and the world that Neil built with the Sandman.
Here ya go!
The Corinthian and his penchant for stealing and eating the eyes of his victims with the mouths where his own eyes should be is most likely based on the scarier German fairy tale.
This character- Sandman, appeared to Hansel und Gretel towards the end of the Second Act of Engelbert Humperdinck's Advent opera adpatation.
That's probably where I first heard of him. And then I played that character in college!
Enter sandman take me away🎵
🤘
Nevermind that noise you heard 🤘
It's just the beast under your bed
Nowadays german kids mostly know the sandman as a cute little puppet that comes every evening on tv, telling a cute little story before you go to bed. And it's accompanied by a very destinctive song that was stuck in my head the entire time watching your video, despite me not watching the sandman show for decades.
To me, I have always known the Sandman as Ole Luk-øje (yes, Danish person here). Although, I didn't realize they were the same until I saw this video, which properly explains the abilities of Sandman. I think there are a few lullabies about him. My late grandma used to sing the less common one of them to me and my sisters when she and my grandpa babysat us when we were little. She would sing two lullabies, a religious one about God watching over us, lika a prayer, and then the one about Ole Luk-øje. I sang that one to myself on the evening of the day that she passed. Watching this video made me remember her and miss her. I can hear her singing that lullaby in my mind now.
I might have read the Andersen story at some point when I was little (or had it read aloud to me is probably more accurate). I don't remember it though. Then again, there are a number of his lesser known tales that I don't know. I remember having to read one for school. I think it was called "Klokken" (The Bell).
Anyway, this was very informative and an emotional experience for me. Thank you.
If anyone is interested, I highly recommend listening to Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" narrated by James McAvoy as Morpheus and a whole cast of really famous actors. I got the whole series on Audible, and I have probably listened to each part at least 4x. It's so good. ❤
I never heard about E.T.A. Hoffman's version.
I heard about the sandman from Mom and Dad first, I think. But it was solidified by _Hansel und Gretel,_ the opera by Engelbert Humperdinck (not the one who sang "After the Loving").
In the opera, there is a song you will recognize even if you don't know it: "The Children's Prayer" where they call for 14 angels to guard them while they sleep.
The sandman puts sand in their eyes so they will sleep, and then a fantasia of a dream shows the 14 angels and other benevolent beings surrounding Hansel and Gretel. The children woke up with this beautiful dream still lingering. If that doesn't solidify the Sandman as benevolent, I don't know what will.
Please get a copy of this beautiful opera. For young or old, it is a beautiful telling of the fairy tale. (also, the Wicked Witch provides a deliciously terrifying contrast)
No fairytale is scarier than Jon making silent eye contact with the camera
In high school I read a series (splintered by AG Howard) that’s a spin off of Alice in wonderland and one of the main characters names was Morpheus and in the series he has moth like features but what I thought was interesting was how Morpheus is known as a sleep/dream deity but in the series, the main character remembers him from her dreams rather than memories.
I thought that pale, hooked-nosed sandman was just a fevor dream from when I was 4.
It's so weird to see it 26 years later.
There's an episode of Baby LuneyTunes where the kids are annoyed with waking up with "crusts" in their eyes and they ask Granny where they come from. She tells them the Sandman comes and puts them there to make children fall asleep. That night, the kids stay up as long as they can to try to meet and fight the sandman to stop him from giving them "crusts". Each of them falls asleep with Daffy being the last to fall. The next morning Granny notices how tired they are, and when they tell her what they tried to do, she apologizes for not telling them the truth.
I was watching Nightmare on Elmstreet very young... I dressed as Freddy Kruger for Halloween in first grade... I was quite jaded quickly, Return to Oz, the Nightmare before Christmas, the tunnel scene in Charlie and the Choclate Factory, none of them or others bothered me growing up.
80s-90s Fantasy/Horror was a magical time to be a kid.
The creepy bird sandman reminds me of Tili Tili bom 'He's already made his way into the house for those who cannot sleep. Hear his steps. He's already close.'
I love that we haven’t forgotten our Star Wars origins over here at the solo camp 4:25
I remember watching this when I was a little kid, and all this time I was wondering did I saw it? Until I actually found it, good memories.
(Singing) MR SANDMAAAAN please dont hurt me
Make a messed up origins of Witcher creatures/characters please 🙏
I am so glad I found your vids years ago! Been waiting for this one
growing up in switzerland we watched a tv show of the sandman every night before bed
starting in 1959 the sandman would visit children on a bike or little car
after arriving he would show a short story and then throw sand into the childrens eyes and the screen
I've been hoping you'd cover this for so long now 😁 so excited today is the day, hope your well
🎶 Sandmann, lieber Sandman,
Es ist noch nicht so weit.
Wir sehen erst den Abendgruß,
danach jedes Kind ins Bettchen muss.
Du hast gewiss noch Zeit.“ 🎵
Pure Kindheit! ☺️
... Sandman on Netflix is BLEEPING EPIC!!
"The Sandman" is now on audible it is broken into parts, but it is a great listen. As always this was a great breakdown. Xoxo
The story I was told involved a kind old man who would kiss your eyelids as you sleep to comfort you and give you dreams. It's a bit more than that but that's the long and short of it.
Man I watched some of your videos some years ago and randomly this one popped into my feed and you got 1.64 million subscribers damn man well done. Fantastic video btw
In german der is pronounced dare, it's the masculine article whilst the neutral is das and the feminine article is die pronounced dee.
I was hoping someone said something, he also said “kommt” wrong
But essentially all 3 *are* like saying "the", making it simple to understand for a primarily English speaking audience, that doesn't have the concept of gendered nouns.
I have a Sandman book written and illustrated by the same duo who made the Gnome books. It was funny and fantastic
The most beautiful song about Sandman in my opinion is "Sininen Uni" (The Blue Dream). It was sung by Tapio Rautavaara, a Finnish singer and it's based on a poem "Laulu Nukkumatista" (A Song about The Sandman) by P. Mustapää. It's very calming and Finnish parents still sing it as a lullaby to their children. 🩵
I don't remember the developer's name (The one who made The Crockered Man and Mermade Swamp.) but I thought of the RPG maker game about the Sandman.
Love your videos man! I also love the Star Wars references 😂
In the Faroe Islands we have 'Hákunardrongurin'. 'Hákun' is a boys name, and 'drongur' means boy, so... It's Hákun the boy. Yeah, very imaginative...
But he's also is the sweet version, who comes and puts 'torvmold' in your eyes (it's apparently called 'peat litter' in English), and takes you with him to Dreamland. Never heard that he does anything bad, but I wouldn't put it passed people in the old days to make a horror version of it too.
Love your job and your sense of humour 😂❤
I have seen a terrifying depiction of the Sandman like this which is from the series called Martin Mystery where the Sandman is a being made of sand from the realm of dreams where it can make sandstorms & lightning storms, but once an experiment released it where it attacks people by placing them in a constant nightmare with the eyes a in REM state so fast that the pupils going so fast that it disappear making them look like they just have just a white eyeball
I love your humor so much it’s so perfect
Never heard of Sandman as a child. Growing up Catholic in a Catholic country kinda means all those tales from barbaric germania were scrubbed clean from our childhood.
Instead, we learned prayers to say to our Guardian Angel. Prayers that include, for example, a plea to God to take our soul should we die before we wake up. Which basically meant you went to sleep expecting death. Which was...fun.
Anyway, the only Sandman known in Portugal is The Sandeman. An excellent Porto wine. That, admittedly, can knock you off should you drink too much of it...
The Sandman was the antagonist in the book "Nightmare Before Christmas Long Live The Pumpkin Queen". Taking place after the movie, Sally accidently finds a door to the land of dreams. The Sandman was imprisoned and went on a rampage, putting everyone in all the Holiday worlds to sleep.
Dream/Morpheus delivering dreams reminded me of the BFG :).
As a kid I saw the sandman short you talked about and it messed with me for years....forgot about it until now. Anyway great video
this video couldnt have come at a more perfect time as it just solved a missing part in my dnd campaign OwO
thank you ^^
Here in the nederlands we have "Klaas Vaak" and the word "Vaak" is slang for sleep or sleepy and he is allmost the same as Ole Lukøje .
When I asked my mom about (what we call sleepys or eye boogers) in my eyes, she told me that the sandman put there to help me sleep.
Keep up the good work, Jon! I love these origin stories!!
I love when you sneak in subtle dirty humor, you're hilarious!
I think I first heard of the Sandman from The Real Ghostbusters cartoon.
That Sandman of the 1800s I never heard of, thank you for sharing that version of Sandman with us!
denmark: lovely old man give you the cutest dream have you seen soo your lonley night is over
German: he took your eye to feed his children
I'm from Germany, and on the German TV channel, KIKA, that was specifically for little kids, there was a series called Sandman that came every evening, with very short episodes to send kids off to sleep basically. It was a lil playdough guy looking like Santa, all cute, and they'd sing a sweet lullaby about getting ready for bed and then he'd blow glittery sand at the screen. That is my very first association with the Sandman that I remember and considering I'm in Germany I gotta consider myself lucky it was this one and not Hoffman's version. lol
That ⏸️ when he says "pulls out his... Umbrella" 😭🤣
Sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight.
I've learned about the Sandman from a german TV show. It aired every evening at 6 pm and always showed a little puppet in red or blue robes with a white beard and a pointy hat, that came to some (puppet) kids that had trouble sleeping. Then, a short film was shown, like a puppet play about talking animals, a mischievious mer...boy(?), or a cartoon. Those were on a roll, something different every day of the week and a new episode every specific weekday. Like, the merboy on mondays, talking pigs on tuesdays and so on...
In the end, the puppet kids had fallen asleep, the sandman threw "sand" at the camera and went back to his home in the skies.
"Der Sandmann" was an amazing read honestly I had to read that book in school and its just really interesting to dive into the main characters psyche cuz he has a BIG trauma caused by what happened in his childhood
I'm from Germany and the sandman is deeply rooted in our culture. But the good one, not the scary one.
Ever since November 1959, "Unser Sandmännchen" (Our little Sandman), which is a stop motion show, has been running before the 7pm News, telling kids a short 5 Minute Story befor sending them off to bed with the iconic sandthrow at the end. It's a wholesome ritual and still alive today.
I had to reas Hoffmanns "Der Sandmann" in school and it's a very disturbing story. I can only warn those of faint heart not to read it.
Pretty sure the E.T.A Hofmann Sandman is more like a creepypasta 😅 like the version of Micky mouse on your shirt
I learned of the sandman through German television. In Germany there is a kids show, that plays daily at 7pm where the sandman brings a little story. As children we were only allowed to stay up till the sandman was over. Such core memory’s
“Sandman, lieber sandman es ist noch nicht soweit. Wir sehen erst den Abendgruß, ehe jedes Kind in Bettchen muss …”
Here in Quebec, Canada, we have a kindda similar evil character named Bonhomme Sept-Heure (7 o'clock Man). He is supposed to kidnap children who stay outside after their curfew. It's origin comes from the "Bone Setter" that children were scared of because of obvious reasons. :P "Bone Setter" and "Bonhomme Sept Heure" have a similar pronunciation, reason behind the change in name. :)
I was introduced to him though the song because me and my sisters would listen to music to help us sleep and it used to be one of the songs on the main cd we listened to. Also the Santa Clause movies were he’s a character in the 2nd and 3rd movies.
When you talked about the two umbrellas I remember in my childhood there was a cartoon that did that I just don't remember what cartoon it was.
I know I've asked this a few times before but I would really appreciate seeing an origins video on the Boogeyman. Ty! Loved this vid even though its a bit shorter than most others you do.
Great work Jon...
Itd be awesome if you did an episode dedicated to the Neil Gaiman novels. Or even Dead Boy Detectives
In Sweden the figure is called Jon Blund, with a background in 1691 (then called Joen Blund). In the 18th century he seems to have gotten the characteristics we know from him today: someone who makes the children go to sleep. He does't always use sand, but often uses a magical sleeping powder to get kids to fall asleep, he also gives children sweet milk so they more easily can fall asleep. Has also been known to give the children a kiss so they calm down and can then fall asleep. No nightmare skills in sight.
Seems to overall be a milder version of those of our neighbor countries.
The Andersen Sandman's twin brother being the Grim Reaper could be a reference to Greek myth of twins Hypnos (sleep) and Thanatos (death).
“That walk to the toilet at 3 am makes me feel like I’m traveling the deserts of tatoine and I make the toilet look like the swamps of nabu”. Bro that was a good Star Wars joke Jon solo that was good 😂.
For me there was "El cuco" but he was kinda like "I'd u don't go to sleep he'll appear and take you away" I don't remember much more since only some of my family said that
Gunther and Penny are just simply ADORABLE! ❤❤🐕🐕
I guess Jon is pretty cute, also. 🤣
I think my first introduction to the Sandman was Rise Of the Guardians, though my memory is terrible so that may not be right, its the first I remember anyways
Hey Jon, I was wondering if I could make a suggestion that you might tap on the VERY messed up origins on the beast of Geváudan.
Would love to see that video coming from your page, think you'd have a great perspective on it.
nothing send me to sleep like being anxious about my eyes being ripped out
I think Ole Lukøje is the only HC Andersen story I've never read/been read out loud, but it's one of my favourite episodes of this older Danish cartoon series "Der var engang..." (it's been dubbed in English under the name "The Fairyltaler" as well for any English-speakers) - highly recommend for any other fairytale fans out there (it looks like it's on youtube and prime) ❤
I only remember the Sandman being mentioned as an explanation of the 'sleepy dust' in our eyes in the morning. And later seeing Fred Astaire doing his soft shoe shuffle on a sandy floor to put Ginger Rogers to sleep. 😴
ok, h have a different verson. set it up... late 80's, early 90's my dad told me and my brother... 'say your prayers and free from sin, exit light and enter night, the sandman will off to dreamland'. basicly a metallica 'enter sandman' song with a few tweeks. dad also said sandman had a twin brother... didn't get the name but he is the bad dreams and/or nightmares. both are maching hats and pjs. sandman is a lighter tan and the this nightmare is darker tan. thay both use magic sand but that is just a tool. thay will think of the best/worst things then get the sand and sprinkle to the kids.
Like Jack Frost, the sandman was told to me like an idiom.
The sandman was used in an episode of CHARMED called Sand Franciso Dreaming. The sandman's (this version of him) job was to sprinkle sand onto people as they slept. So, when the person was sleeping and their dream they would work through their subconscious problems from the everyday life. But if they got hit with too much sand, their dreams would come to life. They would have to work through it so the nightmare (just like in the dream state) would go away.
Sandman: No. I may be made of dreams, but I don't shape them. Perhaps if you can figure out who was behind the mask. Characters in dreams always symbolise something specific in one's life, a special person, a certain feeling or pain. Unmask that, de-mystify it, and the character goes away.
Loved me some public library. Hans Christian Andersen.. The Blue Fairy Book..the whole series actually. But for some strange reason the Green Fairy Book was never found in the library.
Alright. Before I watch this video, everytime I talk about the sandman people talk about how he’s a good being but what I remember is that he would pour sand in your eyes if you’re up passed your bedtime. I might be confusing him with “le bonhomme sept heur” which idek if it’s a real thing of folklore or just a french Canadian thing
Ahhhh. It’s a german thing. Makes sense
Man said "pocket sand" 😂
Funny thing: im Germany, the sandman isn't evil anymore. We have a children's show called "der sandmann" in which a little cley-figure-puppet called "sandmann" tells goodnightstories to his friends befor they go to bed. It runs on like 6pm, so all the toddlers and smaller children know, when its time to go to bed. Its really wholesome! And as a child i also was told that the sandman brings you good dreams. So... Germans had scary stories in oldern time but most of them are now holesome... But try to cover the "strubbelpeter" book with its stories about not eating your soup and dying bc of that... Thats a whole other spectrum of traumatizing and scary lol
Hearing about the dog food brand sounds great. Also, am I the only one to notice this dude has too many talents? Seems like be great to anything 😎👍✨ keep up the good work
Years ago when I was a kid I was randomly changing channels on TV. This was before TVs would tell you what Channel/Show you were watching so it could be literally anything and you had no context whatsoever. As I was doing this a claymation cartoon came on and I decided to watch the whole thing. Turns out it was The Sandman and I was way too young to see that. I did not sleep well that night.
There is actually a *'Fairly Odd Parents'* episode which features the Sandman
In it, Timmy wiches that "No one has to sleep" because he wanted to stay up and see all the exciting things that goes on at night, but his 10 year old body wouldn't let him.
Cosmo and Wanda try to get him to understand that sleep is good: it makes you feel nice and refreshed for the day ahead and keeps you looking beautiful and fair skinned.
As it's a sleep wish, the Sandman is called in and he allows it because he was actually busy with something else concerning his second job - a mattress salesman
Over the course of the episode Timmy finds out that sleep is actually good for people, and its sleep (snoring) that gives the Sandman his power, but because no one can sleep, there is no snoring so he starts to lose power
After getting help with putting Cosmo and Wanda to sleep Timmy reversed the wish and the Sandman got his power back
My husband told stories about grog who invented everything to my twins when they were little. It was sooooo cute. They loved it.
I was so excited to see you mention Neil Gaiman's Sandman!
My first memory of the sandman was actually from that looney toons spin/off, tiny toons, when they’re told about the sandman, so they stay up all night to see him, but they don’t and they still have crusties in their eyes 😂
7:52 wow the evil sandman looks like the boogie man in rise of the guardians
Omg I remember that story and I was so glad I forgot it I was terribly traumatized 😢thanks for the nightmare fuel 😭
The Sandman from The Real Ghostbusters was pretty creepy. I think it was the raspy voice and dead looking eyes 😬
Can't believe anyone else remembers that
@@justinfjay9611 Hard to forget 🤣
Yes, A Nightmare on Elm Street is a re imagining of The Sandman story. The creators of that were offhandedly spoofing the children's stories without knowing much about the other Sandman ideas, the horror versions. The comics and movies came after Nightmare.
They wanted to make Freddy is twist on the Sandman and to have the gag being, what happens if the naughty children in the tale grow up and are in high school, and are teenagers he goes after.
My parents didn't tell me about the sandman, but I knew about him because of the song.
Part of me was expecting an Enter Sandman reference, lol.
Hells yes
