Horror 'did you knows'...

The objective is to produce a bona fide point of interest that others may not be aware of. It'll also give us a chance to show off, one up eachother and possibly correct a misconceived entry. I'm not sure if a similar thread already exists elsewhere but I'll get the ball rolling with the most obvious fact.

Did you know, Michael Myers mask is an adapted William Shatner Star Trek merchandise mask?

Cool

The first studio that showed interest in Nightmare on Elm Street was Walt Disney World.

Interesting... is that for real?

Brad Pitt was supposedly offered the part of Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow.

That would've sucked

Jackie Earle Haley who eventually played Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake originally auditioned for the role of Glen in the original and urged his friend Johnny Depp to come along who ended up getting the role.

I wasn't aware that Walt Disney World was a studio. I thought it was a theme park. :p

Ex-horror.com movie reviewer Staci Layne was one of the talking heads on His Name Was Jason:30 Years Of Friday The 13th generating this site and forum a ton of free publicity!

Does Staci still frequent the site?

Here's one I read, Linda Blair needed bodyguards for 6 months after the release of the Exorcist.

I would've thought she was more likely to have been murdered for making Savage Streets or Chained Heat! The Exorcist was a bloody good movie:)
