![21 Horror Movies (Even Scarier Behind The Scenes)](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/pictofact/4/4/5/675445.jpg?v=2)
While some individuals despise horror movies, others enjoy being terrified. Getting scared is too good of an opportunity to pass up. Even though we understand it's all made up and we're actually safe, nothing beats the adrenaline rush of cinematic terror. A truly horrifying scene will not only scare you at the time but will also stay with you for days (and nights…). It requires skill as well as a team effort from everybody involved in the production to terrify spectators appropriately.
It's no surprise that horror films are frightening, distressing, and otherwise messed up on the screen. Behind the scenes, though, they can be a Lovecraftian nightmare. Actors in horror films have had to put up with a lot of nonsense, whether it's lunatic directors making their lives a living nightmare, sets and effects that try to eat them alive, or just the world being a terrible place.
Grab your popcorn and get ready for the most horrifying behind-the-scenes in horror movie history that will bring the entire crew to their knees, so those are the 21 scariest works ever.
