Inspiring Fear: Blackwood Crossing
Aside from the school-aged protagonists, I wasn’t quite sure if the newly-released game Blackwood Crossing would fulfill the qualifications for Little Fears inspiration—but not long after I wondered that, the trailer showed its potential. I haven’t played the game yet … Continue reading
Inspiring Fear: Halloween Spookies
Happy Halloween, everybody! With work and travel, I didn’t have time to put together a proper Halloweek this year but I didn’t want the holiday to pass without at least something. Thanks, Dread Central, for coming to the rescue! Check … Continue reading
Inspiring Fear: A Monster Calls
I’m kinda stunned by how much I love this. Most of the kids-plus-monsters movies I post about have the two sides opposing each other. That is, after all, the heart of Little Fears: kids fighting monsters. But the below film, … Continue reading
Inspiring Fear: Stranger Things
A friend just forwarded me the following trailer and I had to update this site as soon as I could. Stranger Things, a Netflix Original homage to the supernatural thrillers of the 80s, drops July 15th. I don’t know much … Continue reading

Put this one of your radars, folks. Back in 2005, writer/director Jennifer Kent put out a short film titled Monster. The movie focused on a mother, trying to soothe her son’s fear of the creatures in his closet, who becomes … Continue reading
Inspiring Fear: SHHH
Guillermo del Toro has inspired many with his incredibly imaginative films. But a couple of filmmakers found their inspiration from Guillermo’s childhood fears. The result, an 11-minute film titled SHHH, is a wonderful source of inspiration for your own Little … Continue reading
Halloweek 2013 – Doll-O-Ween #3: Child’s Play
It’s hard to think of creepy dolls and not have slasher film icon Chucky spring immediately to mind. Introduced in 1988’s Child’s Play, Chucky began life as a just another Good Guys doll until serial killer—and voodoo practitioner—Charles Lee Ray, … Continue reading
Halloweek 2013 – Doll-O-Ween #2: The Island of Dolls
Ready for some real life nightmare fuel? The island of Xochimilco in Mexico is a massive testament to the notion that truth is stranger, and scarier, than fiction. Once up a time, three little girls were playing on the island … Continue reading
