10 Horror Movies Where The Reshoots Were Obvious

10. Scream

The Scream franchise has been no stranger to reshoots ever since its inception, and while in the sequels this was generally to combat set leaks, in the case of the original film it was largely a case of performing pickups - that is, completing shots which weren't captured during principal photography.

One of the biggest challenges of the original shoot was that filming began before the producers had secured legal clearance from Fun World to use their now-iconic Ghostface mask, and so Wes Craven had KNB Effects produce their own knock-off with just enough subtle differences to avoid a lawsuit.

The KNB mask was used to film a couple of scenes, including Casey Becker's (Drew Barrymore) iconic opening murder and the death of Principal Himbry (Henry Winkler).

Craven later conducted a round of reshoots to capture close-up inserts of the Fun World mask once permission had been granted for its use, and during Casey's death in particular, it's clear that the mask changes between shots.

The KNB mask has more pronounced "cheekbones" and elongated eyes, a more triangular nose, and a shorter mouth, such that keen-eyed viewers can easily notice which shots were captured during the main shoot and which were filmed during reshoots.
