Horror Movie Moments That Got A Little Too Real Behind The Scenes
A generally accepted truth amongst filmmakers is that making a horror movie is typically a light-hearted affair behind the scenes, given all the gore and traumatic mayhem happening while cameras are rolling. While that may be true, there's no doubt that making horror happen in front of those cameras requires a lot of blood, sweat and tears — and not always of the special-effects variety. Some of those substances can end up being very real, even unintentionally so.
Skeet Ulrich is stabbed a few times as Billy Loomis in “Scream,” but one scene became a little too real.
One of the scariest scenes in one of the scariest movies ever made is scary for a darn good reason.
“The Thing” had some truly gross monster imagery, including a particularly nasty jump scare that was much more "real" than many people realize on their first watch.
Some of Polanski's directorial choices to elicit fear were unethical at best, with one moment in particular shot in a way that would be impossible today.
Nothing beats a good movie scare, and our horror experts will walk you through the slashers, monsters, ghosts, and demons that keep film fans up at night.
