'Fear(s) of The Dark' Comes To the UK

Comic Artists Aim to Scare You

Starting October 3, the critically acclaimed animated horror film Fear(s) of the Dark will be getting distribution in cinemas across the United Kingdom, before it makes it's way over to the US later that month by IFC.

The film, which won Official Selection at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, among a dozen other awards, is an anthology of six intertwined black-and-white segments that represent a girl's different fears. Aside from being having having astounding reviews by both critics and professionals alike, the film brings together several international comic creators for the segments.

Coming together on the film are Blutch (from the French comic Dungeon), Italian comic artist Lorenzo Mattotti, cartoonist Charles Burns, french artist Marie Caillou, designer Pierre Di Sciullo, and graphic artist Richard McGuire.

The premiere is currently set for September 30th in London, and if you are in the area, you may even be able to score passes from your friends here at ComicMix (more details coming soon). For now, check out the international trailer below and look for Fear(s) of the Dark to make it's way to American theaters Friday, October 24.
