“The Fear” from 1995 and its 1999 sequel “The Fear 2: Halloween Night” (aka “The Fear: Resurrection”).

A psychology student named Richard has reoccurring nightmares of hooded figures in Black Pete masks burying a woman, and an approaching wooden figure. 

For his thesis in facing ones fears, he takes a group of friend’s to his family’s cabin where they meet his uncle, who runs a nearby Christmas themed amusement park, and Morty, a wooden mannikin that was built for Richard’s father by a local Indian shaman. Morty was used in the father’s shop but is now used as part of the fear therapy, because each of the subjects can tell Morty their worst fears and he won’t judge them. But what they don’t know is that Morty is no inanimate wooden figure… And he won’t judge them for their fears… he’ll use their fears against them!

Features a cameo appearance by Wes Craven and a soundtrack with Esham, Insane Clown Posse and The Gravediggazs.
