Guillermo del Toro's poster for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark looks creepy

Brad Sturdivant June 3rd, 2011

A new poster for DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK from producer Guillermo del Toro and director Troy Nixey has been released and it has completely confirmed that I will never watch this film because I may never again have a good night’s sleep. The film stars Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison and follows a young girl who goes to live with her father and his girlfriend in a new home only to discover that there are also creatures who reside there and want to claim her as their own. The film opens in theaters on August 26, 2011.

I’m not sure what’s creepier, the concept of the film or the fact that Guillermo del Toro always comes up with these creatures that give me the heebie-jeebies. That guy has one twisted but awesome imagination.
