Behind The Scenes Photos From Classic Horror Movies

Published 8 years ago

Horror movies by default set a pretty high bar for themselves. After all, it’s no easy task to scare the bejeezus out of someone comfortably sitting in a chair while they’re busy digging that bag of popcorn. Yet some movies do, and now we get to see how it was achieved in a series of behind the scenes photos from the sets of classic horror flicks.

From Hannibal Lecter snacking on French fries during a break to Steven Spielberg having a blast inside the jaws of a great white shark, these pics unveil an unexperienced and fun side of these movies that gave us nightmares while growing up.
