30 Behind-The-Scenes Horror Facts That Aren't All That Scary

Here's the thing about horror movies: They're scary! They're designed to be watched in the dark, breathless with anticipation for whatever supernatural murder horror could possibly befall the characters… and hopefully not YOU once you leave the theater and have to keep living with the movie's images in the back of your brain. Here's the thing though, making a horror movie is pretty similar to making any other kind of movie-- you have a script, you have actors, you have a fussy studio, you have special effects, and you have any number of things that can go wrong between pre-production and the release of the movie in theaters. Here are some of our favorite behind the scenes facts about some of our favorite horror movies… And thankfully they aren't, mostly, all that scary in and of themselves. Just the general horror that comes with a high stakes work place, we guess.
