    Horror Movie Trivia

    Give us some trivia tidbits that some of us might not know about. It doesn't have to be anything amazing. Just something that sort of made you go "oh", when you found out about it.

    Here are two to start..

    Fright Night - I've read that the character, Peter Vincent, is an homage to both Peter Cushing and Vincent Price.

    Dawn of the Dead (2004) - This one I noticed myself. Heather Langencamp of 'Nightmare on Elm Street' fame is credited as part of the production crew.

    Evil Dead 2 - Because Wes Craven showed Nancy watching Evil Dead in A Nightmare on Elm Street, in ED2, the Raimi's hung a copy of Freddy Krueger's glove in a back corner of Ash's tool shed.

    Bela Lugosi only starred as Dracula twice. The first movie was of course Dracula and the second was Abbot and Costello meet Frankinstein.

    He was in other vampire movies but he was never Dracula in them.

    Supposedly real skeletons were used in the production of the "pool scene" in Poltergiest. I never did find any actual statement says this was true or wasn't.

    In the Twilight Zone movie, actor Vic Morrow and two kids were killed when a helicopter crashed, decapitating 2 and crushing the other.

    Joel Schumacher put a poster of Rob Lowe in Sam's bedroom because they were good friends and he was pokin fun at him.

    The Spheres in Phantasm that are stuck in a persons head are printed in reverse.To get them to fly they used fishing line and a Baseball pitcher.

    Thats all I can think of right now.

    In 1980 ruggero deodato was brought in front of a court to prove that all the death scenes where in-fact fake. He was able to prove every one except the impalement scene. They couldn't find the actress who was the victim because she was a native girl they found. They recreated the prop (bicycle seat on top of a log) and brought in many people including gymnasts to try it out. Not a single one could hold still for more then a few seconds. How could a local do so is still unknown. Some people think that she was actually killed for the film.

    John used a lot of names about names in his movies.

    Laurie Strode was actually the name of Johns first girlfriend
    Tommy Doyle was named after a guy in Rear Window

    Besides this is my favorite.... Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee was asked to play Sam Loomis but turned it down. Christopher Lee a couple of years ago announced that it was the biggest mistake he's done in his profession.

    Rumor has it that one of the drafts by Nigel Kneale for 'Halloween III' had the Shamrock Masks being used for mind control, rather than mass murder. This would have arguably made a connection with Michael Myers, perhaps owning one of these masks as a child.

    In Saw, the second guy in the bathroom, the one with the white shirt, also wrote the script.

    On the VHS box for Dawn of the Dead, Ken Foree's name is printed as Ken Force.

    That's all I have for now...

    Fun Fact.

    It wasn't until Friday the 13th part 4 that producers realized you didn't actually have to kill the actors, a special FX team was brought in.

    This is more of a technical oops, but you can consider it a bit of trivia.

    In The Evil Dead, when Ash shoots his possessed sister Shelley in the face through the hole in the door, you can clearly see the red tube through the demon's latex masking or make-up that is feeding the blood out from the wound.

    Then again, there are alot of technical mistakes and errors in The Evil Dead, this just happens to be one of them.
