20 Behind-The-Scenes Photos Of Iconic Horror Movies That Will Make Your Jaw Drop

It’s Halloween, which means it’s time for you to watch some horror movies. After all, Halloween is the spooky season, and it will be a shame if you’re not spooked. Classic movies such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, or The Shining are surely frightening to watch, but these behind-the-scenes photos of horror movies will prove that they’re quite fun to make too.
We bet that after looking at these pictures, you won’t be able to see these iconic horror films the same as before. Good luck trying to forget the image of the filming crew feeding Hannibal Lecter French fries next time you watch The Silence of the Lambs. And if you see how wholesome Freddy Krueger was with the kids on the set, you will find it’s extremely hard to think of him as a terrifying killer when you watch A Nightmare on Elm Street.
So let’s gather around and have a good laugh at these hilarious pictures of horror movies behind-the-scenes. Pennywise’s sad frown on set is strangely relatable, and we all wish we could be as chill as Jason Voorhees.
