A fascinating new trailer for a film called Fear(s) of the Dark has recently debuted. The film is a unique collection of fearful tales by ten of the world's most cutting-edge, acclaimed graphic artists. Their intertwined stories make up an unprecedented epic where phobias, disgust and nightmares come to life and reveal fear at its most naked and intense. This impressive trailer introduces us to a few of the styles and stories we'll see in the film. This will be showing at Fantastic Fest this weekend and I plan on seeing it, since it looks damn good. It actually reminds me quite a bit of the animated film Persepolis from last year, but set in the genre of horror instead of politics. Anyway, I definitely suggest you check this trailer out!

Fear(s) of the Dark features segments written and directed by graphic artists Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti, Richard McGuire, Romain Slocombe, Jerry Kramsky, Michel Pirus, and Etienne Robial. The film first premiered at the Rome International Film Festival and has since gone on to tour the festival circuit worldwide. IFC Films picked up US distribution rights and will be debuting Fear(s) of the Dark in limited theaters starting on October 24th this fall.

Weird. It looks very artsy and innovative. I don't think trying to instill frights in this format of animation will be quite effective, but they're probably not trying that anyway...

I heard about this, but I've been dying to see more than just stills. Thanks for the trailer. Looks even better when it's moving 😀 I really hope this sort of stuff, and films like Persepolis, will help to acclimate people in the US to the idea that animated films can be more than just for the kids.

"Their intertwined stories make up an unprecedented epic where phobias, disgust and nightmares come to life and reveal fear at its most naked and intense." What does that even mean? This movie looks interesting, not scary, but fun..unprecedented epic? a little too early to tell don't you think? We shall see...

Those Charles Burns segments look awesome-o! Don't think it'll be genuinely "scary" but its a good boost for animation. These snippets, these collages of styles—a series of shorts grows weary. It pronounces the weakest and feeds short-attention spans. Reminiscent of end-of-the-year-college-film-fests. We need another full length animation that rivals the CGI barrage and asks our minds for more thought. Those reasons alone are what made Persepolis (at its bare bones) such a success. Get out there, animators and production houses. Make full genius full length animated features, the craving is out there......so long as its not Don Bluth.

WOW! Looks really good. Totally didn't expect this. Is there like 5 stories because the (s) looks like a 5.

Ok... It's certainly different. It doesn't seem like it would be very scary because it's a carton. I don't know. It's interesting.

I am enjoying what I'm seeing. Persepolis was fantastic last year, and now this? My faith in films other than great summer blockbusters and bro comedies is starting to be replenished.

I would love to see this one. Especially the Charles Burns story. I read it a long time ago in color, in a comic book.
