Arachnotelephonophobia

Synopsis

A twisted, cautionary tale exploring the dangers of the modern advertising world's 'quick fix' mentality. When a potential cure to Grandma's fears presents itself on television, she hopes for an easy escape from her horrible, haunting visions. 'Hyper Therapy' may hold the answer to her phobias, and be able to get rid of the butterflies in her stomach, but at what cost? Can the cure possibly be worse than the symptoms? Remember, fear is there for a reason!
