Co-writers Robert Hall and Aaron Drane are busy adaptating their short-lived FearNet horror series ‘Fear Clinic’ into a feature length movie. The original five webisode series began back in 2009 but thanks to Dry County Films, Fear Chamber Productions and some partial fan donations via crowd-funding a big screen version is currently being prepped with Hall set to helm. Robert Englund (‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’) will reprise his role as Dr. Andover, “a fear doctor who treats patients afflicted with crippling phobias by inducing hallucinations inside his exposure therapy invention; The Fear Chamber.” Two new cast members have joined the project along with Englund, Angelina Armani (‘ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2’) and Kevin Gage (‘Laid to Rest’) in the form of ‘Curse of Chucky’ hottie Fiona Dourif (below) and Thomas Dekker (‘The Secret Circle’).
“The film opens with a tragedy that launches five people into the public eye and enlists Dr. Andover to lend his expertise to help them overcome trauma-induced phobias. A year later, terrifying ‘aftershocks’ rattle the survivors, leading to them finding their way back to the fear clinic seeking answers. As they line up for another turn in the chamber, Dr. Andover believes that something more sinister may be at work.”
Shooting begins next month and will be hoping for a Halloween 2014 opening.
