We love to share with you cinematic facts and observations from netizens related to various films, and today our list of interests includes only horror films. 
Watching horror films is usually either scary, depending on the fearfulness of the person and the quality of the film itself, or embarrassing, because the genre has the lowest reputation in the film industry due to the annual low-budget premieres made for unpretentious youth. But creating horror films is often a lot of fun! And behind the scenes of all the “Rings” and “The Exorcists” there is always something interesting going on.
The cast of Final Destination 3 had to ride a real roller coaster 26 times. 
All for the sake of filming one scene.

Parts of the biography of serial killer Ed Gean were used as the basis for a variety of maniacs from cinema and literature.

The actor once worked part-time in a fire brigade and was very skillful with an axe. As a result, a real wooden door was used in the famous scene.
The maniac mask from "Halloween" is a modified mask with the face of actor William Shatner 
Shatner is known for his work on the TV series Star Trek. By the way, in the film script the mask was described without any specific features, just “pale, neutral male features.”

As a result, the episode was not filmed, and its script turned into a film, which grew into an entire 5-part franchise.

The house was abandoned in the 1960s. Its otherworldliness is evidenced by numerous testimonies from residents of the city of Bodega, where the filming of Alfred Hitchcock’s film took place.

"The Shining" was the first and only film for both actresses who played the woman in the mysterious room No. 237 
Of course, we will not show the second incarnation of this character, played by an older actress.
