An early trailer is making the rounds for Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark, the remake of the 70s ABC scary telepic that Guillermo del Toro co-wrote and produced. While del Toro made a splash at Comic-Con announcing he’d co-write and produce Haunted Mansion, he was most excited about the Con crowd reaction to this film, which was made through Miramax but remained at Disney, which will release it January 21, 2011.

This movie scared the crap out of me when I first saw it on tv. Of course I was 8 or 9. I believe Kim Darby was the lead?
TOTALLY!!! Used to run on Channel 9 in NY and always had me up nights…Like you I was like eight years old, but this was a creepy flick!
Lookin good!!
That felt really retro….almost like it was made 20 years ago…maybe that’s what they want….hmmmmmm
This looks AWESOME.

Lame trailer. Hackish at best. You’re not scaring anyone when all you do is pump the decibels from 0 to 150. The reason it spooked all the guys at Comic-Con is due to the fact most of them still live at home and are afraid to take the trash out past the witching hour, lest a goblin (raccoon) cross their path.
The only reason I’ll go see this is Guy Pearce, one of the most engaging and, sadly, under-used actors working today.
Also, it’s nice to see Katie Holmes back on the screen. She’s a good actress, snobs be damned.
I totally second the commentators who said the low-budget original version of this scared the bejesus out of them. I was 8 or 9 also when this used to play on local TV in the NYC area and it ruined my goddamn sleep to this day. Those little raisin-headed bastards from the basement, whispering from the shadows…
Not sure how they can make it any creepier in a new version…
I was twenty-five when I saw it and it still scared me.
How to make it creepier?
Easy;
Don’t give it all away in the next few trailers.
Don’t give it all away in the movie through too much idiot dialogue
and camera shots foretelling what’s just around the corner.
This is simple folks.
Hollywood doesn’t do it that way because a lot of idiots
want to claim credit for what they can’t do.
Thank God for del Toro.
He will not let the idiots screw this up.
Write on, right on.
