d's Play 3

10.鬼娃回魂3

关于恐怖电影的10件事,你知道吗?(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,年仅11岁的乔恩·维纳布尔斯与另一名同龄男童用偷来的糖果诱拐一名2岁男婴至布特尔市一家商场,两人将这名男婴折磨致死,抛尸铁轨,两天后尸体才被发现。

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.

主审本案的法官称,此类凶杀案的罪魁祸首很有可能是各种恐怖电影。有人声称凶手乔恩·维纳布尔斯看过《鬼娃回魂3》,影片中的玩偶“楚其”被厉鬼附身,身上都是油漆,面部严重毁容。男婴尸体上除了殴打过的痕迹,也被浇了油漆。

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

然而警方却驳倒了这一说法,称他们没有真凭实据来证明电影场景与本案有关。

9.A Nightmare On Elm Street

9.猛鬼街

关于恐怖电影的10件事,你知道吗?(上) 第2张

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.

韦斯·克雷文在其辉煌的电影生涯中导演了很多经典的恐怖电影,比如《惊声尖叫》系列、《隔山有眼》及《魔屋》,但令他最负盛名的要数《猛鬼街》中的主角——变态梦中杀手弗莱迪·克鲁格这一角色啦。

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.

克雷文称“弗莱迪”这一形象取材于真实生活,包括克雷文小时候特别畏惧的一个流浪汉,以及DC漫画里的超级英雄——塑胶侠。“弗莱迪”这一名字呢就关系到他的个人经历了,克雷文童年时经常被一个叫“弗莱迪”的小恶棍欺负,于是克雷文就赋予剧中主角这一名字。

Blair Witch Project

8.女巫布莱尔

关于恐怖电影的10件事,你知道吗?(上) 第3张

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.

《女巫布莱尔》的主演们在开拍前对人物背景还知之甚少,他们觉得女巫布莱尔的传说是真人真事。为了营造那种恐怖阴森的氛围,让演员们处于紧张状态,他们经常限制饭量,食不果腹是家常便饭。

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.

影片票房口碑都不错,但由于拍得太逼真了,很多人天真地以为女主的扮演者希瑟·多纳约真的下落不明或者已遭不测,纷纷送来吊唁卡,把希瑟的母亲吓得半死。

l Destination

7.死神来了

关于恐怖电影的10件事,你知道吗?(上) 第4张

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《死神来了》系列电影拍摄期间,发生了一系列匪夷所思的怪事,令演员、编剧、执行总监都胆战心惊。

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.

《死神来了》第一部的项目执行人乘180号航班飞往纽约,他准备在机上看剧本,哪料到剧本标题就是“180号班机坠机事件”,吓得他一路上都不敢翻看剧本了。在第三部拍摄期间,演员们出师不利,在拍云霄飞车时被悬在空中半小时之久。

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.

第五部中需要一个铁质的平衡环作为道具,特效团队正好找到有人在卖这东西,喜出望外。然而想不到的是,这个平衡环竟然就是早些年前拍第一部时失踪的那只环。

ers Creepers

6.惊心食人族

关于恐怖电影的10件事,你知道吗?(上) 第5张

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·迪普在妻子提出离婚后一怒之下开枪打死了她,并将尸体扔在一座废弃的学校里,这一幕为一对夫妇目睹。而迪普也发现了他们,疯狂追出好几里。11年后,恐怖电影《惊心食人族》上映,女主姐弟俩发现一个怪物往废弃教堂里扔尸体,怪物发现了他们,立马驾车飞速追来。虽然导演并未公开承认影片与凶杀案的关系,但惊人相似的故事情节,你会相信这只是一个巧合嘛。
