“What Really Frightens you” is the
latest film from cult movie director Richard W. Haines. If your a
fan of cult 80's movies you'll know him as the director of two Troma
feature films. Those flicks are 1984's Splatter University and the
classic cheese fest 1986's “Class of Nuke 'Em High”.
The film starts off with a mysterious
writer (Ian Tomaschik) who's currently working for a monster fanzine
“Ghastly Horror Magazine”. He pitches an idea to the head honcho
of the mag to do an article on what really frightens people. Head
honcho gives him the go a head and agrees to publish it if it turns
out decent. The writer heads out with a camcorder in one hand and a
clipboard in the other. He comes across three people in Times Square
willing to discuss their personal fears.
