The Omen (1976) is an iconic classic within in the horror genre. While the film features many frightful scenes, nothing was as terrifying as some of the incidents that took place surround the production. On this episode, we discuss beheadings, baboons, bombings, lions, airplanes and reveal two of the most unbelievable stories you will ever hear.
The blistering heat of the Texas summer, dead animal corpses, human skeleton "props" and the mafia. Leatherface proved to be the least terrifying thing about the production of this horror classic.

Fury Road was a perfect sub-name for this Mad Max film as it serves as an accurate description for the production. Gasoline leaks, explosions, Hardy vs. Theron, contaminated ecological terrains, the Fury Road had it all. I also read some of your e-mails.
