Kicking off another workday in Melbourne, Australia, Katie Holmes was spotted on the set of her new flick “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” today (July 23).

The “Dawson’s Creek” darling was joined by costar Guy Pearce, who plays her boyfriend in the sure-to-be-hit thriller.

In the scene she was filming, Katie climbed up a ladder to remove a crest above her door, hoping to keep the ghosts that are haunting her at bay.

“Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” is about a couple who live in a haunted mansion, and all the craziness that happens when Pearce’s character’s daughter comes to live with them.
