Guillermo Del Toro
Fear[s] Of The Dark is a film project where a clutch of the most prolific graphic artists became the directors of a series of films interpreting inner fears, phobias and nightmares. Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Romain Slocombe, Pierre di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti, Gerry Kramsky, Michel Pirus and Richard McGuire, illustrate, animate and tell out these stories. Each is of the caliber that you expect from this level of artist. Charles Burns using his enigmatic clean lines and 1950’s comic book horror, jar and contrast with the suitably dark etchings of Blutch, or Richard McGuire’s brilliant wordless episode of a haunted house, there is unquestionable quality to these illustrations that works so well with the subject.
