Going behind the scenes of 8 horror movies, from 'Nope' to 'X'
  • last year
Horror filmmakers keep coming up with new and ingenious ways to scare audiences. Jordan Peele had a set with oversized furniture specially constructed for a terrifying scene in "Nope," while M. Night Shyamalan had his team build a fake rock wall to turn a tropical setting into an oppressive prison for "Old." Ti West asked Weta Workshop to build ultra-precise aging prosthetics for Mia Goth to play old woman Pearl in "X," and James Wan used a special robotic camera usually reserved for sporting events to film a harrowing set piece in "Malignant." See up close the full range of movie magic tricks in the biggest horror movies from the past two years, from the stunt work and wire gags behind slasher scenes in "Halloween Ends" to the 13-pound animatronic creature head and 60-pound suit that created the Feral Predator in "Prey."
