Provenance

Where it came from

Fear of the Dark was released in 2024 as part of the Duskmourn: House of Horror expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set is themed around a retro-inspired, trope-heavy haunted house aesthetic, drawing heavily from 1970s and 1980s horror cinema. As a common creature card, it was designed to support the set's Limited environment by providing a thematic, low-rarity interaction piece that captures the feeling of being hunted by an unseen presence within the walls of the sprawling Duskmourn manor.

The artwork was commissioned from Sam Wolfe Connelly, an artist known for his moody, atmospheric, and often unsettling illustrative style. Connelly’s approach for this card emphasizes shadow and psychological unease rather than explicit gore, aligning with the creative team's goal of evoking classic horror tension. The piece was well-received by players for its ability to convey the pervasive, claustrophobic dread central to the expansion's narrative world-building.
