Don't Be Afraid looks into the subject of fear, the types of fear, and when fear is reasonable. It tells the story of young Billy who we meet in his pajamas building something. His mother walks in and tells him it is time for bed. Billy insist he is not tired and will be awake for some time after the lights go out. Little known to his mom is the fact Billy is afraid of the dark. After his mother is in bed and the lights are out, Billy imagines a person in his room and hears noises. He gets up and turns on the light then calls out for his mother. She soon learns of Billy's fear of the dark and has a conversation about fear with him. She recants the events of the previous Sunday when there was a grease fire on the stove and how everyone was scared. Telling Billy that was a healthy fear. Also wen he was too afraid to climb a drain pipe to retrieve a ball he accidentally tossed onto a roof of a building. Point out the fact these are reasonable fears. She then talks about unreasonable fears like a girl they knew who was afraid of dogs until she got a puppy or a boy who was afraid of water until he learned to swim. It then moves on to tell the story of Frank who is fearful his parents will emotionally abandon him over a bad report card. Billy's mother then tells Billy that now that he understood fear he should be better able to cope with being in the dark. She then puts him to bd again leaving the door to his room cracked opened. A narrator then ask the viewer several questions about young Billy and how they feel about fear. The film sucks. Billy is hyped up on something because there is no way a kid is going to sleep as hyper as he is. And mom telling Billy all the stuff she tells him is utter bullshit. There is nothing that really helps him get over his fear of the dark like the film makes it seem like it does The film is so laughable that we knew this was going to be riffing gold for us.
