Dreams with Sharp Teeth is a 2008 biographical documentary film about writer Harlan Ellison.

It is composed of original and archive footage of Ellison and talking head segments from colleagues and fans including Robin Williams, Peter David, and Neil Gaiman.

In 1981, then-24-year-old producer Erik Nelson began shooting footage of Ellison while the author was at work on his typewriter.

Ellison allowed Nelson to repeatedly film and interview him over subsequent years, stating that he thought Nelson to be "a fan working on a student project", and has stated that he never suspected that the film would amount to a serious production on such a professional level.
