Fear Tech is a location in Disney/Pixar's 2013 animated film Monsters University. It is the rival school of Monsters University.[1] Not much is known about Fear Tech (e.g. students, teaching methods, architecture), though its mascot is Archie the Scare Pig. And like MU, it is located in or near Monstropolis.[2] On April 1, 2013, they hacked the MU website as part of an April Fool's prank. The school's colors are strong and contrasting orange and black as opposed to MU's gentler blue and white.
A few students from Fear Tech can be seen in the film: An alumnus that works at Monsters, Inc. is shown claiming Fear Tech is superior to Monsters University. Some students break into MU's campus while pursuing Sulley, who has stolen their mascot. A football match between MU and Fear Tech is shown, with a gigantic MU player defeating the other team.
It is assumed that Fear Tech and Fear Co. are affiliated with one another, much like their rival college and energy company. This was revealed to be proven true according to the trailer for the second season of "Monsters at Work". In speculative terms, if laughter became a new and more efficient source of energy instead of using their usual scream power, Fear Tech would most likely change their name into Laugh Tech or Comedy Tech to train future Jokesters to keep up with the change in industry. The same would probably go for Fear Co., which would possibly go by Laugh Co. or Comedy Co.
Video games[]
Disney Infinity[]
Fear Tech appears in Disney Infinity with a bigger role than in the film. It can be accessed in the Monsters University story mode. Fear Tech looks like a normal high school, but, as with MU, the buildings have been made to look like monster faces. Fear Tech's schools have a resemblance to that of MU. Like MU, it has a school of scaring.
