Zoals je vast niet is ontgaan is het vandaag Halloween vieren veel websites dit met hun eigen lijstjes. Zo kan je hier een top vijf vinden van horror films waarin acteurs gek werden gemaakt door de regisseurs. Onze favoriet er van is geworden:

The Shining

Stanley Kubrick is a methodical and exacting director who's mind we can never fully get inside of. Because of this, it's hard to tell if the 100th take of a guy walking to a door has artistic merit, or if Kubrick is just being a dick.

On the set of the classic terror flick, "The Shining," production was so arduous that it often nearly ground work to a halt. Star Jack Nicholson became so fed up with the constant stream of rewrites, he stopped looking at scripts entirely. But no one came out of filming more traumatized than lead actress Shelly Duvall.

Kubrick was really into the concept of method acting, which to him apparently meant "terrorize everyone." Throw in the fact that Kubrick was attempting to use the brand-new steadycam technology, and there was a recipe for repetition. It's no wonder Shelley Duvall claims her hair started falling out, she was once forced to do 127 takes of a single scene. Recently, she has been wandering around her yard ranting about aliens. Which makes us wonder, does everyone go nuts after doing a Kubrick movie? Is this why Tom Cruise went nutso shortly after making Eyes Wide Shut?
