⌛It's about time we got existential...⌛

We couldn't leave this series without looking at, arguably, the biggest fear there is - infinity, endlessness, the uncountable. But enough from us, who better to explore this than Gideon (Peter Capaldi)? A man all too familiar with eternity... ♾️

THE DEVIL'S HOUR is available on Prime Video.

😈 Are the walls closing in? 😈

Do you feel like you can't breathe? You're trapped with no hope of escape. You can try the door again, but it still won't open, and you can't guarantee it ever will. Both Harry (David Tennant) and Janice (Dolly Wells) from INSIDE MAN know that exact feeling, one more metaphorically than the other...

INSIDE MAN is available to watch on Netflix

☠️ Who knows what lurks in the depths? ☠️

80% of the ocean remains unexplored by humans. The majority of it is in perpetual darkness, and is an environment of intense pressure, giant currents, and hydrothermal vents that can exceed 700°F.

It is home to unimaginable creatures somehow more terrifying than Dracula (we're looking at you, goblin shark) - and that's just the creatures we've actually found. What else is hiding down there?

To make matters worse, humans are biologically drawn to the water. So maybe think twice before dipping a toe in... 💧

DRACULA is available to watch on Netflix.

🤖 Maybe all the schemes of the devil were nothing compared to what man could think up... 🤖

From weavers who destroyed the machines that replaced them in the 1600s to the present day, man has been plagued with concern about the way technological advancements inevitably change the world around them - the world they thought they understood. Take Douglas, for instance, how was he to know that one little tweet could cause so much trouble? 📵

DOUGLAS IS CANCELLED is available on ITVX.

😱 Are you afraid of the dark? 😱

The lights go out, and you instantly you feel like you might not be alone. Your eyes are wide open but you can't see a thing, including whoever - or whatever - it is that's in here with you, waiting for their opportunity to strike...

😮 Not all fears can be the obvious ones 😮

And if you don't have pogonophobia now, you might develop it after this clip of a young Roald Dahl meting two bearded horrors going hell for leather on the egg sandwiches at his father's funeral... 🤢

🎃 It's spooky season! 🎃

To get you in the mood, we're delving into our archives to explore the world of phobias - some you might be familiar with, some a little more on the obscure side - but perhaps fears you didn't even know you had...

Let's start with something Halloween appropriate - ghosts and phantoms. We're visiting THE DEVIL'S HOUR for this one. Lucy (Jessica Raine) wakes up in the night to the sound of shuffling and knocking, so decides to go and explore the dark corners of her attic to see what might be lurking there... 👀

Seasons 1 and 2 of THE DEVIL'S HOUR are available to watch on Prime Video.
