10 Horror Movies Where The Reshoots Were Obvious
6. Something Wicked This Way Comes
Disney's cult classic 1983 horror film Something Wicked This Way Comes had an extremely bumpy journey to the big screen, with a disastrous test screening of director Jack Clayton's original cut prompting Disney to effectively take the movie away from him.
The studio then spent a stonking $5 million - an entire 25% of the movie's budget - on reshoots, re-editing, and the creation of a new musical score.
Reshoots included the addition of a famous sequence where protagonists Will (Vidal Peterson) and Jim (Shawn Carson) are attacked by hundreds of spiders in the middle of the night.
But because reshoots took place a whole year after principal photography, teenage stars Peterson and Carson had aged noticeably. If you compare the spider scene to the rest of the movie, the two actors have clearly lost some of the "puppy fat" from their faces.
This is a problem facing many productions that prominently feature children - wait too long to do pickups and your cast will look markedly older.
