10 Horror Movie Facts That Will Blow Your Mind

Speaking of honey, other sweets also have an important role to play in horror movie fact-dom, with chocolate sauce our next stop on the list of foodstuffs to have made an impression on the industry. Often used for replicating fake blood in black and white movies, chocolate sauce was a cheap alternative to actual blood that looked just as realistic on film, and likely tasted a lot better in the long run too.

But what happens when you need to make a bloody mess of a chewed up body in the wake of a zombie uprising? You're going to need some fleshy looking materials, and that's where your luck runs out if you think a sweet treat will cut it.

Unfortunate extras on The Night of the Living Dead learned this the hard way when they were forced to eat roast ham and animal organs covered in chocolate sauce when filming the burnt-out truck scene, in a bid to get the most realistic and edible bodies possible. Apparently, they looked so ill afterwards that the make up department lamented wasting their time on turning them into the shuffling undead, since they were practically there after the meal anyway.
