Phobia is a 1980 Canadian psychological horror thriller film directed by John Huston, with a screenplay by Peter Bellwood, Lew Lehman and Jimmy Sangster; from a story by Ronald Shusett and Gary Sherman. It stars Paul Michael Glaser, Susan Hogan, and John Colicos. In the film, experimental psychotherapist Dr. Peter Ross' (Glaser) patients are targeted by a killer that preys on their phobias.

Production

Phobia was the only horror film directed by John Huston, and his only film produced in Canada. The film was shot in Toronto, with many scenes filmed at Humber Polytechnic College.

The screenplay was re-written during production by an uncredited Dan O'Bannon and Gladys Hill (John Huston's longtime assistant). In his book Dan O'Bannon's Guide to Screenplay Structure, O'Bannon claimed the script was altered without his input by a producer. He disliked the changes and offered to Huston his earlier draft, but Huston declined as a matter of convenience.
