Ask The Writer of FOTD thread...


Hey, anyone who wants to know anything about 'Fear of the Dark' or about the production, story, development, concept...etc...shoot me a reply below.

This was the first movie I ever really worked on professionally (I was 22 at the time) and it holds a soft spot in my heart. People seem to like it (I think) so if you're curious about how it came about, ask away, I'll try to respond to everyone.

Even if you thought it sucked! Creative criticism always welcomed...:)

Hey. I think it's great that your doing this! Never would have expected something like this lol. I was wondering: where did the whole thing about the bugs come from? Can we assume that Dale was afraid of bugs the way that Heather was afraid of the dogs? And if that's the case, was it ever discussed in the actual movie?

-Endings, as it is known, are where we begin.

Damn, this is an old thread. No one really responded, so I ignored it. Thank you for being interested in the movie! YES! Dale was afraid of bugs -- unfortunately it was a plot point that was cut from the movie...so it didn't really make a lot of sense in the final product. Oh well. :)
