Gerontophobia: Fear of Aging: Sean (Doc Dougherty) meets Annagelle (Suzi Lorraine) his old flame from 30 years ago, again to find out she hasn't aged a single day since - which is so impossible that when she says it's all thanks to a potion from the fountain of youth, he drinks it on the spot ... something that's doomed to backfire ... - one of the funniest episodes of the series, and Suzi is hilarious in that one.
Toxiphobia: Fear of Being Poisoned: A woman (Kelly Rae LeGault) is sure her husband (Pete Mizzo) is out to poison her, and all his efforts to prove her wrong only make her more suspicious ... until things get violent ... - a story centered all around Kelly Rae LeGault, and she gives a great performance. Genre fave Manoush plays an evil witch in this one.
Dysmorphophobia: Fear of Deformity: A girl (Heather Drew) who actually looks healthy and normal is so convinced she's grossly disfigured ... that this eventually leads to her downfall - a chilling mood piece.
Scotomaphobia: Fear of Blindness: Emily (Susan Adriensen) was so in love with Bobby (Bryant Pearson), but a drug fuelled party blinded her soul and the aftermath blinded her eyes - and only with her vision gone is she able to see things clearly ... granted, my synopsis of this episode might come across as cheesy, but this is one mindfuck of a story.
Agraphobia: Fear of Sexual Harassment: Nina (Genoveva Rossi) has Martin (Bradley Creanzo) fired on sexual harrassment charges - which might be based on her ambitions to climb the corporate ladder much more than on reality. But Martin feels his pride hurt, and thus decides to retaliate ... - more straight-forward in style and aesthetics than most other episodes, this is a loving hommage to low budget 1980's thrillers in both style and story.
Dementophobia: Fear of Insanity: Samantha (Rachael Robbins) is a B-movie actress trying to keep her sanity during a press junket for her comeback movie ... but how long can you stay sane when everybody's just asking you about your nude scenes and your boob job? And how long can her assistant (Suzi Lorraine) keep her under control? ... - Another of the more amusing episodes of the series, and a great showcase for Rachael Robbins' comical talent.
Agoraphobia: Fear of Leaving Home: Emma (Anne Bobby) hasn't been able to leave the house for years, ever since her car crashed with a plane and she lost her family in the process ... only how could it have been a car, she must be insane, right? Anyways, today a man from social service (Frank Vlastnik) pays her a visit to see if she qualifies for certain benefits - but there's something weird about him ... - Shot in black and white, this is also probably the most Twilight Zone-ish episode of the series, with its weird approach and twist ending, and it's also a great character piece for Anne Bobby.

In Fear of - Season 2 (or at least the first part thereof) pretty much keeps the promise of Season 1, and maybe even more so, of being a celebration of indie horror filmmaking in all its diversity, a diversity in both style and narrative that's hardly ever reached by studio produced genre movies. Sure everything has been done on a budget, but the production values are there, the performances are top notch, and while the series is eclectic in style, there's a distinct look and feel to every episode, and the whole thing's well written.

Really well worth a look, and not only for genre fans!
