On The 6th Day Of Factober, Tobe Hooper Said To Me...Wait Wrong Holiday. πΊππππππ · 2:27am Oct 7th, 2020
Apparently The Texas Chainsaw Massacre set was decorated with 500 pounds of decomposing animal corpses, and the stench mixed with the heat caused the actors to vomit constantly.
Director Tobe Hooper said within the last few days, every time he'd yell "cut," the actors and crew would immediately run to throw up.
Well the things these directors do for that authentic touch in the background. Then again, these actors should've known what they signed up for when they agreed to be part of movies like this. After all, horrors movies from the 70s were definitely nothing like the old black-and-white horror films. And nowadays, many horror movies barely reach the levels the 70s did as nowadays most of the backgrounds and effects are CGI.
Although, there are still a handful of movies that try using practical effects.
P.S. Yes. I'd change your name to factful because they are 'very' engaging.

Totes, nothing beats practical effects and puppetry.
Aww, thank you.
Lol, Factful just screams Halloween.
Oi, that must've been torture.
I get going for realism, but daaaaayum! π¬

I wonder where one finds that much animal corpses?
I mean it can't just be laying around...maybe some lol.

You talk about the corpses being real for the scenes, so were some of the blood. Like that scene when Leatherface feeds 'Grandpa', the crew had difficulty getting the stage blood to come out of its tube, so instead Marilyn Burns's index finger was cut with a razor. In fact, Burns's costume was so drenched with stage blood that it was "virtually solid" by the last day of shooting.

Filmmakers used to be more committed to the art.

Absolutely. Like that Robert Eggers guy for example. He wanted his movies to be so authentic, even though it was mostly 'two' horror films he was known for, he spent a lot of time and research making sure everything was right. Heck, he wanted the actors to act just like the people of the time period would do, it was required they'd use some form of dialect even if you'd need subtitles to understand them.

Mustβve found them in a slaughterhouse or something. If thatβs even possible...

True, that'd be the simple way.

Wow!

I know! Crazy isn't it? It's no wonder why his movies are critically acclaimed. Proving that even 'horror' movies deserve credit where credit is due.
Ha! I know it's suppose to be scary, but I didn't know people would lose their lunches from this.
