Dread (1992): Fred Burke (adaptation) Dan Brereton (adaptation) Clive Barker (story)

Make certain that you know.
This terrifying tale of psychological drama by horror fantasist Clive Barker, adapted by Fred Burke, and painter Dan Brereton will open your eyes to the roots of fear. To dread.
Quaid, a student of philosophy, is obsessed by his own nightmare of an ax-murdering clown... so he concocts a series of experiments to observe firsthand how other people react to the things that most horrify them. But while Quaid slowly unpeels the psyches of his imprisoned and tortured captives like a reeking onion, his own dread waits, just beyond his control.
