A new trailer for Troy Nixey’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark has been released, and it’s just as creepy as the first one. The film was co-written and produced by Guillermo del Toro and centers on a family that moves into a new estate that houses very horrifying things.

This new trailer gives a bit more plot info (though not a lot), and gives us a look at the cast. All in all, I can’t wait to see this in a full theater on a Friday night. Finally, a horror movie that’s actually scary. Starring Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce, and Bailee Madison Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is set to be released on August 12th.

I watched the original recently. It actually holds up pretty well, for a 70′s low budget tv movie. I’d recommend seeking it out if it’s your thing.
Yeah, I went back and watched original, too, since it scarred me as a kid. Still freaked me out. Dead simple, but terrifying. Plus, hilarious 70′s style male chauvinism!
