                                 Hello again from the Darkness , All you Terror Trolls !! Axemasters deep in the Dungeon tonight , trying hard to keep all the candles lit , with another Cool Tale of Terror for ya ........
Darkness Falls !!.

"You want to dance with me Baby !??"

 This little number is from back in 03 , and it seems that there were a
few flicks made around that time that dealt with Fear of the dark , and this one had to be mentioned ! Here's the story line in a nut shell ........


       The flick begins with a scene that fills in some background to the story . The narrator tells us the Tale of Matillda Dixon . She lived over a hundred years ago , in the town of Darkness Falls . She was a kind old matron who lived alone . She liked all the towns children though , and when they lost their teeth , she would act as the tooth fairy , and take them from them . Her home caught fire , and Matillda was badly burned and disfigured in the blaze . Her skin became so sensitive to light that she had to stay covered up at all times and began wearing a porcelain mask to keep the sun off her face !! (Jeeze , thats before the days of Coppertone !!)

"I get So Wrapped up in this stuff !"

Then one day two of the towns children went missing . The towns folk
blamed Matillda for their disappearance , assuming she must have gone mad and killed them . An Angry mob took her from her home and hung her for the crimes . Just before they strung her up , Matillda uttered a curse on the town of Darkness falls , saying that she would forever haunt the dreams of the towns children , taking in death , by force , what she had taken in life out of kindness !! ( Yup , Thats teeth folks !!) Then the next day , the two kids showed up , unharmed !!!!!!! ( ooopsie !! Sorry Matillda !)  The town buried their secret along with Matillda's body .
    Flash forward to twelve years ago . Young Kyle Walsh is about to lose his last tooth . He's thirteen and thinking of girls . One girl to be exact . Caitlin Greene . He's got

"I should have bought a MAG LITE !"

his last tooth pulled and set on his dresser for the Tooth Fairy to take . (Needs the cash to take Caitlin to the dance !!) Suddenly , there is blurred movement at his window . He goes over to take a look...... and ... sees ....... Caitlin !! She's come to ask him if he'd like to go for a midnight swim ! ( Yowsa !! ) He tells here no , because he has to get up early for practice ! ( Practice Shmactice kid!)
Caitlin is a bit disappointed , but then Kyle asks her to the dance and she's tickled pink . She gives Kyle a little kiss , and off she goes out the window . Kyle , floats over to his bed and hops in , working on his dance moves in his mind no doubt !! He falls asleep , but has bad dreams . He awakens in the night to the strange sound of someone moaning breathlessly . He sees movement in the shadows . In fact , the shadows seem

" Would you happen to have a Tooth Pick ??"

to be alive !! One shadow seems to separate from the rest and whips around his room at high speed ! Darting here and there ! Then ..... He Sees Her !! The Tooth Fairy !!! All the children of darkness falls know her story , but Kyle , like all the rest never really believed she was real , until now ! He hides under the covers , snags a flashlight of his night table , and manages to get out of his room into the hall , and the light !! The ruckus wakes his Mom , and she comes to see what the fuss is all about . Mom tells Kyle to calm down and go back to bed . Kyle insists that "someone" is in the house . Mom says she'll check the house , and starts with Kyle's bedroom !! ( Bad Choice  Mom !! ) She enters the room , without flicking on the light , and looks around . She sees nothing out of the ordinary and says

"Looks like I need that Nose Hair Trimmed !"

to Kyle ... " See Kyle ! There's nothing to be af.......... !" and thats when the Tooth Fairy swoops down and picks her up and whips her around like a rag doll !! ( Creeeeepy !) Kyle freaks and spends the night sitting in the bath tub , with the lights blazing . In the morning , he is taken into custody and he becomes the suspect in the murder of Mom ! He claims that the Tooth fairy killed his Mom ! Darkness Falls believes he is a whacko , and the cops close the case .
   Flash forward twelve years to now .
Caitlin Greene is in the hospital in Darkness Falls with her much younger brother Michael . Michael sees things in the dark ! ( Oh Boy ! Here we go again !) He tells her that there is some one after him in the dark . Some one that wears a Porcelain mask and hates the light ! Caitlin realizes that her brother is talking about the same being that her old friend Kyle talked about all those years ago , after being blamed for the murder of his Mother . She tracks Kyle down and gives him a call ! He's living in Las Vegas !! ( City Of Light !) He has the worlds Largest Flashlight Collection ! And yes folks , You Guessed it ! He agrees to come back to Darkness Falls to see if he can help Michael with his Night Terrors !!
 Will Kyle be able to face the woman of his Dreams , and the Woman of his nightmares at the same time ??????
