Interesting facts

Fear Clinic is a 2014 horror film by Robert Green Hall, based upon the web series of the same name. The movie, which was partially funded through crowdsourcing, stars Robert Englund as a psychiatrist that tries to cure phobias by using extreme methods. The film received its world premiere on 22 October 2014 at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival and was released on DVD in the United States on 10 February 2015.

Production

In 2011, Hall announced that he was interested in creating a feature-length version of the webseries. The movie would expand upon the basic story of the original series and bring back Englund, Danielle Harris and Lucas Till. The original Fear Clinic had in fact been intended as a feature-length film, entitled Fear Chamber, but was turned into a shorter episodic format.

Filming began in Medina, Ohio during December 2013 at a former nursing home and a local diner. Of the film's script, Hall commented that it would be darker and more surreal in tone than the web series. Shortly after Fear Clinic moved into post-production, the distribution rights were picked up by Anchor Bay Entertainment and it released in October 2014. The special effects were created by Steve Johnson.
