The message of this telefilm is, of course, be VERY AFRAID of the dark! We just kicked off the Dead Channels midnight series with our 16mm copy of this film and it brought down the house!
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is the legendary television movie that scared the living Hell out of an entire generation of impressionable latch key kids. – and now it's your turn!
A neurotic housewife named Sally and her business exec husband movie into Sally’s family house, a spooky two-story Victorian mansion. Sally comes across a locked door that, once finally opened at her great insistence, kicks off a series of very strange events. Sally begins to see small creatures everywhere and of course, no one believes her – nothing a valium won't cure insists her husband.....until the death starts! Is she crazy? Or has Sally released demons?

I was there in the Roxy when this was shown at Dead Channels 2007. As I was born in 1967, this brought back more than a few memories... and nightmares. Thanks for this... and let this old tv movie stand as a lesson to today's sorry-ass generation of horror filmmakers.
