"I'M SCARED" The Movie!

A STOP-MOTION ANIMATED FILM FROM GREG 'CRAOLA' SIMKINS

With your help, WE can make it happen!

Greg has joined forces with C4toons to create a Kickstarter campaign to raise $65,000 for producing a stop-motion film called "I'm Scared". It is a story where Big Brother shares with Little Brother, all the frightening things that inhabit the world at night as they try to go to sleep. Small concerns grow into spooky spectres as Big Brother's imagination takes over and their bedroom becomes a playground for monstrous creatures of all types. 

To reach our goal, we are offering some really cool incentives at various pledge amounts. As a Simkins fan, this is a very unique opportunity to bring an amazing project to life, acquire original Simkins artwork at a very special price, and get your hands on some really limited items such as:

• Hand drawn doodles by Greg Simkins 
• A copy of Greg's newest book, "The Outside" signed to YOU, AND it's going to include a doodle!
