A village is repeatedly attacked by a pack of hounds from hell; a humanoid creature takes revenge on a nerdy boy; a woman articulates her deepest fears; a young Japanese girl is encouraged to face her terrifying nightmares; a village is terrorised by an unseen monster; a man takes shelter from the rain in a seemingly abandoned Victorian mansion.

In the anthology film Fear[s] of the Dark, six international graphic artists – Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti, Richard Mc Guire, Romain Slocombe, Jerry Kramsky, Michel Pirus, and Etienne Robial – were invited to present different visions of the concept of fear of the dark as black-and-white animated shorts. Ranging from monochrome computer graphics to pencil-drawn imagery, the results are often eerie, unsettling and visually striking.

Fears of the Dark has been announced for a UK DVD release on 2nd February 2009 by Metrodome at the RRP of £19.99. Extra features have been confirmed as:

• Theatrical Trailer;
• Making of Fear(s) Of The Dark;
