[[File:dontbeafraidofthedark_poster_2061.jpg|frame]]''Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'' is a theatrical remake of the 1973 TV [[Made for TV Movie]] of the same title. The film was directed by [[Troy Nixey]] and produced by [[Guillermo
The plot revolves around a little girl named Sally being sent to her father Alex's house. There, she meets her father's new girlfriend, Kim. As Sally explores the house, she comes across a strange grate in the basement. Unknown to her, the grate contains evil creatures called Homunculi that live underneath the basement. Alex does not believe her when she tells him, but Kim does. As time runs out, Sally and Kim must stop the creatures, who want to claim Sally as one of their own.
Line 35:
* [[Haunted House Historian]]
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Kim manages to get Sally free from her ropes and tells her to run while she gets captured by the homunculi herself. Made into a [[Fate Worse Than Death]] when it's discovered that anyone not killed by them basically ''becomes'' one of them.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[The King's Speech|King Edward VIII aka "David"]] is Sally's father. Meanwhile, [[
** And [[Lost|Charles Widmore]] shows up at Alex's party -- [[Actor Allusion|as another character named Charles]].
* [[Hostage for Macguffin]]: At the beginning of the movie, the homunculi promise to give Blackwood back his son if he gives them children's teeth to eat. He attempts to persuade them with the maid's teeth instead. They are not pleased.
Line 47:
* [[Our Fairies Are Different]]: [[All There in the Manual|The manual]] goes into great detail about exactly how they're different and where the [[Fair Folk|fairies]] are from. The homunculi are identified as 'tooth fairies' a number of times, along with darker names.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Kim to Sally.
* [[Parent
* [[Sacrificial Lamb]]: Miss Winter, the maid at the beginning.
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Secret Keeper]]: {{spoiler|The groundskeeper}} knew about the homunculi's existance the whole time. He ultimately pays the price when he discreetly tries to warn Sally and her family about them.
* [[Spared
* [[Supernatural Proof Father]]: Alex.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: The Homunculi will eat bones, but they absolutely ''love'' children's teeth.
* [[The Voice]]: Sally's mother. We only get to hear her talk on the phone.
* [[Weakened
* [[What Happend To The Mouse]]: In the course of scaring them away, Sally takes numerous pictures of the critters, and even {{spoiler|removes one of their arms. We never see any of the pictures, they don't seem to convince the father very much, and the arm is never mentioned again.}}
* [[Wicked Stepmother]]: Averted with Kim. She actually tells Alex that she feels like one due to Sally's initial coldness towards her, but she's not even close to actually ''being'' wicked.
