Screamtime is a 1983 British-American horror anthology film directed by Michael Armstrong and Stanley A. Long (dually credited as Al Beresford), written by Armstrong, and starring Jean Anderson, Robin Bailey, Dora Bryan, Ann Lynn, Yvonne Nicholson, Ian Saynor, and David Van Day. It was produced by Peter Long and Stanley A. Long. Presented as an anthology with a wrap-around story, the film opens with a pair of young men stealing three videotapes, which happen to each contain a tale of terror. The first story is about an evil puppeteer, the second is a haunted house story, and the third is about a caretaker in a haunted garden.

The films second segment, "Dreamhouse", was remade and expanded to a feature-length film in 2010 as Psychosis, starring Charisma Carpenter.
