“Terrier 3” used so much blood for the bloody shower murder scene

“Terrier 3” exceeded all expectations, including the box office; however, only a few people are responsible for the gory scenes that make Stephen King kid-friendly.

The Post spoke with Christian TinsleyAcademy Award-winning make-up and prosthetics specialist for Slasher, and special effects supervisor Jason Baker, who shared all the details about how they helped director Damien Leone bring the graphic and gory scenes to life.

They also addressed the gruesome final shower scene, which Baker described as “pretty, pretty disgusting” that left many moviegoers confused. vomiting or leaving the theater at the UK premiere. Tinsley revealed that it was the last scene they shot — and they were running out of fake blood.

For those who haven’t seen the movie, Art the Clown chainsaws the two naked lovers while they’re showering, slicing off each limb limb by limb — and it’s one of those scenes that will make you drop your lunch.

“One of the things he (Leone) told me early on that he didn’t flesh out in the script was a really small piece of the script that was ‘killing the shower scene.’ And that’s pretty much all he had there. I thought, “What’s going to happen?” And he said, “I’m still trying to figure it out…” but it should be a big win,” Tinsley shared, adding, “I know we needed to step it up. It was necessary to give something that the audience had never seen.”

As for how much fake blood they used in the film, Tinsley told The Post, “If I had to guess, we probably easily went through a couple of barrels (55 gallons per barrel) on this film,” acknowledging the shower scene. there was only about “20 gallons of blood”.

They used so much blood on film before the “big kill” scene that Tinsley and his crew “wiped every grocery store in a 10-mile radius off the face of the earth,” Baker said.

Tinsley confirmed that he and another crew member had to run around town for supplies at the eleventh hour to do more blood.

“We came to the same, the very last day – now we were so close and understood that we would end in blood. And so me and my partner on the set, Ryan Ward, we went to Walmart, we went to grocery stores, we went everywhere, and we just bought all the Karo syrup we could get our hands on,” Tinsley said, revealing that they mixed syrup with pigments from it Los Angeles Tinsley Studio that he was delivered at the last minute to the shooting location.

After all, they had simply enough for Art Clown to make his demonic blood angel.

“The last scene we shot in the movie was Art shooting a snow angel covered in blood,” Tinsley said. “We still had a ton of blood left in the shower, just on the floor. And then it became the preservation of “no one walks here.” We want to keep as much of that blood on the floor as possible.”

Tinsley shared that they took what little blood was left and “very judiciously” poured it on the floor to “give us enough blood for him (Art the Clown) to lay down and do his bloody angel.”

Tinsley also revealed that at the end of each day, the team was “bloody.”

“Everybody leaves the room rinsing their shoes,” he laughed. “Damien just threw his shoes away at the end of the night.”

Baker said: “I keep telling everyone I’ve been doing this for almost 20 years and Terrier 3 was the first film where I couldn’t wipe the blood off my boots at the end of the day and just threw them away. away”.

Leone’s “Terrifier 3” is breaking records everywhere. The low-budget slasher beat out Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker: Folie à Deux to take the top spot in North America, topped the box office with $18.3 million during the opening earlier this month.

While the director of the horror franchise told Variety Tinsley is not so sure that he “doesn’t see” the “Horror” saga “going beyond another movie or two.”

“Coming into this one, he (Leone) says, ‘I’ve got one left,'” Tinsley told The Post. “You don’t want to tie anyone to this.”

“He plans to finish it on the fourth. You know how it goes,” he continued. “You get enough success and enough money for something. There’s always a way to save it.”
