BS trivia
Out of boredom I figured why not do this, trivia for bullshit James Wan possession movies or zombie movies. I am in no way a James Wan fan as most of his movies actually put me a sleep. I guess I’m just too old school (and mentally tough) for this new era of horror: this unscary based on a true story bullshit possession horror. So I’m just gonna have some fun and dump on em:
Insidious (2010)
“33 violins were used for the theme music.”
Not counting the violin I play when I don’t give a shit.
“The film was shot in just three weeks.”
No big deal, it was only 1 location.
“The film was originally going to be named "The Further"”
And the further I am from this pile of junk they call a horror movie the better.
“Ethan Hawke turned down the role of Josh Lambert.”
Good on him.
“For 2015 there will be an Insidious themed maze at Universal Studios Orlando for the annual event Halloween Horror Nights. The maze will be based on all 3 Insidious films.”
They built a maze for a movie that wasn’t even scary lol.
“(at around 1h 12 mins) Josh looks through several pictures of his younger self when he finds out that he can astral project. In one of them, he can be seen carrying a dog, which belongs to director James Wan.”
It’s obvious he likes to torture his pets.
“During the record player scene the little boy can be seen facing the wall in the cloak room.”
Record players make me do the same thing…
The Walking Dead (2013)
“All of the principal actors have a "Last Supper" the day they film their death scenes.”
How lame.
“In an interview on National Public Radio, Steven Yeun (Glenn) said that his parents (who emigrated from Korea as adults) watch the show faithfully but do not always understand the nuances of the English used in it, so they get a bootlegged version with Korean subtitles. Yuen also said that his father once asked him to thank Melissa McBride for saving his life. Even though Yeun reminded his father that it was all make-believe, Mr. Yuen insisted that his son should thank her, which he then did.”
Yuens father must’ve been retarded if he thought a tv show was real, what a moron.
“Actors who played walkers had to go through walker school to learn how to walk and move like walkers.”
I can walk like a mentally ill person and don’t need a class for it.
“During the filming of season 5, Norman Reedus requested to keep Andrew Lincoln's beard clippings "for some strange purpose known only to Norman Reedus."”
Beard fetish…
“Among the common nicknames for the Walking dead that are shared in different groups, are "Walkers", "Lamebrains", "Biters", "Rotters", "Lurkers", "Roamers", "Geeks". The term "Zombie" has never used throughout the course of the series.”
And they all suck!
“Not a single character appears in every episode.”
I don’t blame em.
“Daniel Bonjour cut his honeymoon short to take the role of Aiden.”
Either he’s gay or the girl he was datin was ugly.
“The show was made into a haunted house at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando, Florida. There was also a maze in Universal Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights for their 2012 event.”
How dumb.
“The actors portraying the walkers are actually more talented than one might think. They have to walk and sound like the creatures, while also avoiding breathing too much. They also have to jolt their limbs to take bullets realistically, and effectively pretend to eat fake human flesh.”
How the hell does walking like a moron make someone a talented actor…
“After filming of the prison concluded, most of the set was dismantled including the fences, guard towers, and the sky walk.”
They didn’t want any trace of the show on the facility lol.
“The Mist (2007) stars actors Laurie Holden, 'Jeffery DeMunn', and Melissa McBride; all of whom are main characters in The Walking Dead (2010) (Andrea, Dale, and Carol). Juan Gabriel Pareja, who played Morales in The Walking Dead, was also in The Mist.”
I actually liked Mist at one point, but now I hate it.
“Ross Marquand auditioned for the role Gareth but instead he took the role Aaron. These two roles are very different and show Ross' acting potential.”
The actors on the show all suck so I don’t know what potential you see.
“In Spanish, "rosita" means little rose, while "espinoza" is an adjective used to describe something full of thorns. So Rosita Espinoza would mean "little rose full of thorns".
Or it could mean watching this show is like having a thorn in your side.
“In 2009 Thomas Jane agreed to play Rick Grimes because of his friendship with showrunner Frank Darabont but when he signed with HBO for another series he said no to Frank. He says he regrets saying no to the role.”
Big deal.
Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013)
“(at around 25 mins) When Specs and Tucker analyze the footage of young Josh, the 'Panasonic' VCR logo has been worn away in places so that it reads 'Panic' instead.”
Atleast we know he can spell…
“(at around 22 mins) When Specs and Tucker enter Elise's house, there is an African Tribal painting hanging on the wall. It is the same painting seen hanging in Daniel's study in Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) and in the Grandmother's house in Paranormal Activity 3 (2011).”
Lazy directors tend to get inspiration from lazy movies.
“Garrett Ryan, the actor who plays the young Josh is in another movie where he senses his future, older self. That other film is Oculus (2013).”
He must love acting in unscary movies that make absolutely no sense, he must have a cool resume…
The Conjuring (2013)
“When the movie was shown in the Philippines, some cinemas had to hire Catholic priests to bless the viewers before showing it. This is due to some viewers having reported a "Negative Presence" after watching the film. The priests also provided spiritual and psychological help to the viewers.”
What a bunch of pansies…
“The film was given an R rating by the MPAA. The filmmakers had thought the final cut had a chance of getting the more-box office friendly PG-13 rating and asked the ratings board for clarification. The MPAA said simply that the film was so scary that there were no cuts or edits possible that would make it a viable PG-13 film; the filmmakers did not want to alter the film's tone and accepted the R-rating without any appeals.”
This movie put me to sleep, the MPAA must be full of bedwetters…
“Lorraine Warren and Andrea Perron served as consultants to director James Wan and the screenwriters. They both claim the movie is accurate to the real story of what happened to the Perrons during the 10 years they lived in the farm house.”
Movies that are based on true stories come from directors who aren’t original enough to come up with their own story.
“Director James Wan modeled the film's cinematography and atmosphere after vintage 1970s horror films.”
You modeled it after the 70’s but you can’t scare people like the 70’s.
“The real Perron family visited the set of The Conjuring.”
Who gives a shit!
“The production team also built a 50-foot tree for the film.”
You can build a tree but you can’t build terror.
“Andrea Perron wrote a three-part book based on her experiences in the house titled 'House of Darkness, House of Light.' Experiences written about in her book also appear in the film. Perron cites the film as a work of art and not a work of fiction.”
This chick is dumb, and I think your experiences are fictional, you dumb old lady.
“James Wan, the director, was working on the script one late night. He had just adopted a new puppy, who started staring at a supposedly empty side of the room and began to growl aggressively. Wan stated that his dog's head then followed something all across the room, but he didn't see anything.”
And then it took a dump on the floor, like most pets do.
“Lili Taylor researched The Exorcist (1973) to prepare for her role.”
I didn’t like that movie either. I reviewed it at one point but later deleted it as I didn’t want it in my collection.
“Marks the third collaboration between James Wan and Patrick Wilson. The pair also worked together in Insidious (2010) and Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013)”
Well duh, its the same character. Is the guy who writes this trivia retarded or somethin…
“The production initially scouted a number of farmhouses to shoot in, but eventually ended up building the two-story house they wanted.”
Wow, you could’ve easily just drove to Kansas and found a farm just sittin in the middle of nowhere.
“When the Hayes brothers and Lorraine Warren (a real life demonologist) would chat on the phone about the script, they kept getting cut off by weird sounds and a lot of static. Then, out of nowhere, the line would suddenly go dead.”
Maybe it was a bad connection, morons.
“When the real life family that the film is based on, named the Perrons, visited the set locate in North Caroline, they felt a cool wind whip throughout the set. They also noticed that the intense, sudden draft did not move or shake any trees.”
Wow they sound like retards to me.
“The 19th biggest grossing film of 2013.”
Not the 3rd, not the 5th, not the 10th, but the 19th. I’m sure there’s a trophy for that somewhere…
“Wan wanted to take the feeling of the original The Haunting and apply it to The Conjuring.”
I haven’t seen the original but I did see the remake in 1999 which is actually one of my favorite horror movies. I know the rating wasn’t that good but it was way scarier than this horse shit.
Annabelle (2014)
“Ellen DeGeneres lived in the apartment used in the movie. While promoting Annabelle (2014) in her show (Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show: Shia LaBeouf/Gina Rodriguez/Padma Lakshmi/Guest DJ Meghan Trainor (2014)), she explained that: "The apartment in the movie was my first apartment that I moved to in L.A. That was the building I lived in; where they shot the movie. I was watching it going: 'That looks familiar' and it was my building. It was scary back then too."”
Ellen don’t be a pansy.
“The real Annabelle doll was given to Donna (a college student at the time) by her mother in 1970. Her and her roommate Angie noticed that the doll would move subtlety, then within a few weeks became fully mobile moving from one room to another while they were gone.”
Sure it did…
“Coincidentally, Annabelle is the first name of the actress who plays Mia.”
Yippy Skippy! She is cute though.
“Although supposedly based on true events, and the doll being a real object now kept in the artifacts archive of the Warrens, the end credits state that "The story, all names, characters and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious."”
Atleast they were truthful.
“In one scene in the movie a building shows a large logo with the name "Barclay". Barclay is the last name of the main character Andy Barclay in the popular Chucky horror movie series, in which the plot also revolves around a possessed doll.”
Except Chucky is scarier and actually does shit in his movies, not sit in a glass vase all day while some madeup bullshit story gets tossed around.
“Director John R. Leonetti and Producer Peter Safran claimed that supernatural phenomena had occurred on the set during filming.”
Sure it did…
“The doll prop used for Annabelle is the same one from the 2013 film 'The Conjuring'.”
Wow… they used the same prop… how amazing…
Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)
“A trailer for the film was released in March of 2015 and featured the song "Afraid of Nothing" by Sharon Van Etten. The filmmakers used the song without acquiring the rights to it. When Van Etten was notified by a fan on Twitter, the filmmakers were forced to pay her for illegally using her music.”
The title to this song shouldn’t even be associated with this movie.
“James Wan was unavailable to return as director for the third installment due to his scheduling conflict with Furious 7 (2015). He makes a brief cameo as the theater director during Quinn's audition scene.”
Who gives a shit!
“This third installment makes several references to ghosts and demons from the first 2 films of the Insidious franchise, such as the Lipstick Face demon, The Bride in Black, and possibly the Long-Haired Fiend.”
Is the nickname “Lipstick Face demon” supposed to scare me or make me laugh…
Insidious (2010)
“33 violins were used for the theme music.”
Not counting the violin I play when I don’t give a shit.
“The film was shot in just three weeks.”
No big deal, it was only 1 location.
“The film was originally going to be named "The Further"”
