Random horror movie facts that I enjoy and find interesting:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was deemed "too graphic and disturbing" during the time of release that it was banned in several countries including the UK shortly after it's initial release.
Additionally, upon its initial release, Andrzej Zulawski's Possession was also met with an onslaught of mixed or negative reviews. After its short-lived limited release in the UK, the film was promptly banned and labeled as one of the notorious “video nasties.”
Evil Dead Rise (2023) used 1,700 gallons of fake, movie, blood and Evil Dead (2013) used around 50 to 70 thousand gallons of it throughout the entire movie.
Linda Blair, who played 13-year-old Reagan MacNeil in The Exorcist, fractured her spine during the scene where she was thrashing around and screaming in bed. The scene is still in the movie because the cast and crew thought she was just acting.
As Above, So Below was shot in the actual Paris Catacombs. The bones and skulls in the movie were real. You can find the locations / coordinates here.
Friday the 13th only exists because the creator, Sean Cunningham, wanted to mimic the success of Halloween (1978). It had a cheap budget, no working title, and a script made in under 2 weeks.
Michael Myers' mask was nothing special. Originally, it was a Captain Kirk mask purchased for $1.75 and tinkered to be creepier for the film.
Alex Wolff, who played Peter in Ari Aster's Hereditary, offered to break his own nose for the desk scene in the movie.
Tony Todd had live bees in his mouth during the filming of Candyman (1992). The bees had stung him 23 times during the course of filming and he got paid an extra $1,000 for every sting.
1982's Poltergeist featured real skeletons in the pool scene. JoBeth Williams had no idea until after.
There's an alternate ending to the movie Get Out. It was scraped because Peele thought the audience was owed some relief.
Every syringe from the Saw "Needle Pit Scene" were real. Crew had to take the needles out of 120,000 syringes over the course of a week to ensure safety. Accidentally, however, some syringes with real needles fell in, so they had to halt production to fish them out before filming.
The entire sky in Nope is a digital recreation. Animators were able to lay out the sky and simulate each cloud (and their movements) based on actual altitudes and wind speeds. The digital creations were then infused to match the sunlight and lighting of the location imagery.
