Factober Punch!... Darn I Broke A Nail...👊💅 · 12:31am Oct 21st, 2020
I know this has been dormant for a tad, but it's not dead!
So here I come with tons of facts, hitting you in the face like a fist made of factual events!
This is going to be a biggie, so stick with me now.
Due to the marketing around The Blair Witch Project, some people were convinced that actor Heather Donahue was actually dead and sent her mother sympathy cards.
Apparently the Blair Witch Website was full of fake police reports, missing posters etc.
You know the starter kit to create public panic!
The Stick Dolls on Blair Witch, were made with real human teeth and hair.
You know the authentic look of Time Manipulative Witches, in search of slaughtering people in the woods.
The teeth are from co-director Eduardo Sánchez's dentist and the hair is from actor Josh Leonard.
Michael Cera auditioned for the role of Cole in The Sixth Sense.
Though his agent didn't tell him it was a movie about ghosts, he auditioned for the role, optimistically and very upbeat!
Nothing says Sunshine and Rainbows like dead murdered people.
The Witch director Robert Eggers revealed it bothers him that you can see Anya Taylor-Joy's earring holes in the film. He said in the DVD commentary that he wished he had CG'd them out.
Also later then remarking that probably would've made him seem crazy.
Not as crazy as CGing out an upper lip mustache, now that was cra-cra!
I'm looking at you Justice League!
When he was just 17, Saw director James Wan watched a news report about a man who broke into people's houses to tickle the feet of sleeping children. It scared Wan so much that he slept with a hammer beside his bed. When the man in the reports was eventually caught, he revealed that he didn't commit the crimes on his own and was forced to do it. This sparked the idea behind forcing characters to do what they're told. The tickling criminal was also apparently sent a jigsaw piece that told him to do what he did, which was the inspiration behind the Jigsaw Killer in the films.
So many people are ashamed to be ticklish, but not you, not today.
The crew of The Green Inferno actually went deep into the Amazon Location to do filming.
In fact, it was so remote that the locals had never seen a film before. The producers showed them Cannibal Holocaust, which they thought was a comedy and "the funniest thing they'd ever seen".
Talk about a comedy, you can just eat up!
Before The Saw Duo, even got the chance to get a film off the ground.
The iconic puppet from Saw, known as Billy, was so precious to filmmakers James Wan and Leigh Whannell that they paid for it to have its own seat on a flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles.
The reason!?
Love?
No, they only had one puppet to their names, lol.
Psyche!
Billy was actually really special to Wan, he had carved the original puppet by hand.
He couldn't ever think about, just tossing it into a suitcase.
Just think, if Billy got lost or broken it'd be…
Game Over!
You could say that Billy is still fondly remembered.
In fact Billy has also popped up in movies other than Saw. He was briefly shown as an Easter egg in Insidious, Dead Silence, and Death Sentence.
Each movie, directed by Wan.
Billy also appears as Graffiti in The Invisible Man 2020.
Which was directed by Wan's friend Leigh.
It Follows director David Robert Mitchell didn't actually pitch the movie. Instead he made an elaborate lookbook because he believed the concept for the film was "so silly" that he "avoided saying it out loud".
You know saying you have a movie about a Sex Monster, would just earn you Giggles over screams.
To film the premonition scene in Final Destination 3, the actors had to ride the roller coaster 26 times. In order to get enough footage, angles and reaction shots for the scene.
Talk about an Emotional Rollercoaster, I'd feel sick.
And finally let's end on something fancy.
The Exorcist was the first horror film to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. The movie would go on to rack up a total of 10 nominations and would win three.
Ta-da!
Twelve facts to spook up your Factober!
You're welcome, now put some ice on your head.
That many facts can totally…
Blow Your Mind!
Mind totally blown!
Excellent as always, my lady.
Still need to watch The Blair Witch Project...

Thank you, BW is awesome.
Time witches.

Demencia of Villainous.
1. I remember those stories... people actually believed what just happened was real.
2. Sheesh, teeth and hair! They really wanted it to look authentic.
3. Goes to show you never truly know what you are getting yourself into until it's too late.
4. Eggers has always been a man who goes for authenticity. I doubt folks had earholes during those early years but... as long as we don't pay too much attention, hardly anyone will notice.
5. Who'd have thought an inspiration for one of the most gruesome films of all time was on some guy with a foot fetish?!
6. That almost reminds me of that episode of 'Victorious'. Trina's one-woman show was so bad but to make sure people came Robbie decides to review it like a comedy to compensate for the bad acting.
7. Makes me think of that Batman episode where the Ventriloquist treats Mr. Scarface so special, he gives the dummy a nice bed while the Ventriloquist gets to sleep in a crappy broom closet.
8. That doll is pretty special all right. Nowadys, that doll alone is an icon in the horror industry.
9. Just imagine what other cameos this doll can appear in.
10. Sex monsters... almost like those beasties in 'Feast' and the brutal methods they deploy 'sex' if you've ever seen that (Disturbing as hell).
11. 26 times... dang! Talk about dedication! It's like going to Disney Studios and choosing to ride the Rock N Roller Coaster over and over and over for a whole day.
12. And folks say that 'The Exorcist' is so famous because of the whole curse that surrounded the entire production. Some even claiming the film itself is haunted (This much I learned from film appreciation class in college).

Sunny.
It won't let me send you a pm or a comment on your page.
Do you maybe have me blocked?

Lol.
Yay.
The idea of Amazon natives watching Cannibal Holocaust and finding it more hilarious than offensive is pretty funny in its own right.
