This article is about the 2014 webseries. For the Wikipedia section about the treatment of phobias, see Phobia § Treatments. For the film, see Fear Clinic (film).
The series follows Dr. Andover (Robert Englund) a psychiatrist that desires to cure the fears of the population despite having lost his medical license. Andover has created the "Fear Chamber", a device that will totally immerse the patient in his or her worst fear. His techniques don't seem to work on everyone, as in the case of Susan (Danielle Harris), a woman that Andover is keeping captive until he can cure her.[6][7]
In 2011 Englund stated that he, Harris, and Till were interested in starring in a feature film adaptation of the series that would expand upon the story line from the web series.[8] Robert Hall returned to direct the film, and raised part of the movie's funding through fan donations on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo.[9][10] Harris later withdrew from the project for unspecified reasons, and it was later announced that actors Fiona Dourif, Thomas Dekker, and Cleopatra Coleman were attached to the project.[11] Hall began filming in late 2013 in Medina, Ohio.[12][13]
Of the film, Englund commented that the series had initially been envisioned as a feature film entitled Fear Chamber and had gone through several iterations before becoming the web series and eventually in film format.[14]
