Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Carpenter reveals he was contractually obligated to deliver an R-rated cut, then watched the studio panic and soften it — a classic '90s horror story.

Trivia

Greg Nicotero confirms those unsettling 'glow' eye effects were practical contact lenses, not CGI — and the kids kept trying to freak out the crew between takes.
