推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 1.19W 次

Scary movies, both good and bad, have been around for a very long time. Often, there is a lot more to some horror movies than initially meets the eye. On this list are some lesser-known facts about some of the most popular horror movies from the last several decades. Be warned: There are potential spoilers.

恐怖電影好比我們生活中的調味品,你是喜歡重口味的呢還是“清炒”呢?除了那些刺激你視網膜的恐怖鏡頭,恐怖片背後還有很多赤激的真人真事哦。

d's Play 3

10.鬼娃回魂3

關於恐怖電影的10件事,你知道嗎?(上)

In February 1993, two-year-old James Bulger was abducted from a shopping center in Bootle, Merseyside, England, by two 11-year-old boys. The boys viciously murdered the toddler after torturing him and left his body on a railway line, where he was found two days later.

1993年二月,年僅11歲的喬恩·維納布爾斯與另一名同齡男童用偷來的糖果誘拐一名2歲男嬰至布特爾市一家商場,兩人將這名男嬰折磨致死,拋屍鐵軌,兩天後屍體才被發現。

The judge presiding over the trial commented that he believed that violent horror movies could lead to violent murders such as Bulger's. There were claims made that one of the boys, Jon Venables, watched Child's Play 3, in which Chucky (a possessed doll) is splashed with paint and suffers severe facial mutilation. James Bulger's body showed evidence of battering, and the little boy had also been covered in paint.

主審本案的法官稱,此類兇殺案的罪魁禍首很有可能是各種恐怖電影。有人聲稱兇手喬恩·維納布爾斯看過《鬼娃回魂3》,影片中的玩偶“楚其”被厲鬼附身,身上都是油漆,面部嚴重毀容。男嬰屍體上除了毆打過的痕跡,也被澆了油漆。

Police refuted the claims, however, saying they could not find hard evidence linking the movie scene to the crime.

然而警方卻駁倒了這一說法,稱他們沒有真憑實據來證明電影場景與本案有關。

9.A Nightmare On Elm Street

9.猛鬼街

關於恐怖電影的10件事,你知道嗎?(上) 第2張

Wes Craven directed a great many horror films during his successful career, including the Scream movies, two The Hills Have Eyes films, and The Last House On The Left, but he will probably always be best remembered for creating one of the scariest horror villains of all time: Freddy Krueger.

韋斯·克雷文在其輝煌的電影生涯中導演了很多經典的恐怖電影,比如《驚聲尖叫》系列、《隔山有眼》及《魔屋》,但令他最負盛名的要數《猛鬼街》中的主角——變態夢中殺手弗萊迪·克魯格這一角色啦。

The inspiration for the character came from many different avenues, including a homeless man, who so frightened Craven as a child that he never forgot him, as well as DC superhero Plasticman. The name of the character came from personal experience with a bully who picked on Craven when he was a child. The bully's name was Fred Krueger.

克雷文稱“弗萊迪”這一形象取材於真實生活,包括克雷文小時候特別畏懼的一個流浪漢,以及DC漫畫裏的超級英雄——塑膠俠。“弗萊迪”這一名字呢就關係到他的個人經歷了,克雷文童年時經常被一個叫“弗萊迪”的小惡棍欺負,於是克雷文就賦予劇中主角這一名字。

Blair Witch Project

8.女巫布萊爾

關於恐怖電影的10件事,你知道嗎?(上) 第3張

The actors and actresses of The Blair Witch Project knew very little of what they were getting themselves into when they started the eight days of filming it took to complete the movie. They went in thinking the legend of the Blair Witch was real, and they were given less food each day to build and keep tension between them.

《女巫布萊爾》的主演們在開拍前對人物背景還知之甚少,他們覺得女巫布萊爾的傳說是真人真事。爲了營造那種恐怖陰森的氛圍,讓演員們處於緊張狀態,他們經常限制飯量,食不果腹是家常便飯。

The movie ended up being a huge success, though maybe a little too realistic for some. Actress Heather Donahue's mother was dumbstruck when she started receiving sympathy cards after the release of the movie. They were from people who genuinely believed that Heather had disappeared or was dead.

影片票房口碑都不錯,但由於拍得太逼真了,很多人天真地以爲女主的扮演者希瑟·多納約真的下落不明或者已遭不測,紛紛送來弔唁卡,把希瑟的母親嚇得半死。

l Destination

7.死神來了

關於恐怖電影的10件事,你知道嗎?(上) 第4張

A series of creepy incidents surrounding the Final Destination franchise spooked the actors as well as the screenwriters and executives both before and during filming of the movies.

在《死神來了》系列電影拍攝期間,發生了一系列匪夷所思的怪事,令演員、編劇、執行總監都膽戰心驚。

The project executive of the first film was planning to read the script during a flight to New York City. That was until he saw the original title, Flight 180, and realized he had just boarded Flight 180 to New York. The script remained unread until the plane landed in NYC. During the filming of the third film, the cast got stuck on their first go on the roller coaster and remained stuck for half an hour.

《死神來了》第一部的項目執行人乘180號航班飛往紐約,他準備在機上看劇本,哪料到劇本標題就是“180號班機墜機事件”,嚇得他一路上都不敢翻看劇本了。在第三部拍攝期間,演員們出師不利,在拍雲霄飛車時被懸在空中半小時之久。

When the special effects team found someone who was selling a steel gimbal knuckle, which they needed for the fifth film, they couldn't believe their luck. Then they couldn't believe their eyes when they realized it was the original gimbal knuckle that had gone missing from the set of the first movie years earlier.

第五部中需要一個鐵質的平衡環作爲道具,特效團隊正好找到有人在賣這東西,喜出望外。然而想不到的是,這個平衡環竟然就是早些年前拍第一部時失蹤的那隻環。

ers Creepers

6.驚心食人族

關於恐怖電影的10件事,你知道嗎?(上) 第5張

Dennis DePue murdered his wife after she filed for divorce in 1990. He shot her in the back of the head and hid her body behind an abandoned school building. A couple, Ray and Marie Thornton, witnessed DePue dumping the body. They were spotted by DePue and subsequently followed for a good couple of miles. There was a reenactment of the crime on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries in 1991, which is almost word-for-word and scene-for-scene the same as the beginning of Jeepers Creepers, in which a brother and sister are followed by a monster after they spot him dumping bodies behind an abandoned church.

1990年,丹尼斯·迪普在妻子提出離婚後一怒之下開槍打死了她,並將屍體扔在一座廢棄的學校裏,這一幕爲一對夫婦目睹。而迪普也發現了他們,瘋狂追出好幾裏。11年後,恐怖電影《驚心食人族》上映,女主姐弟倆發現一個怪物往廢棄教堂裏扔屍體,怪物發現了他們,立馬駕車飛速追來。雖然導演並未公開承認影片與兇殺案的關係,但驚人相似的故事情節,你會相信這只是一個巧合嘛。
