10 More Horror Movies That Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren't Supposed To See

7. Boom Mic In The Reflection - Child's Play 2

Mirrors are difficult to work around when it comes to filmmaking. While recording a scene with a reflective surface, the crew need to position themselves in a way so none of them or their equipment is visible, since it could ruin the entire shot.

Sadly, the crew of Child's Play 2 ran into this problem. In one scene, a rebellious teen called Kyle heads to the house of her friend, Joanne, to warn her about the killer doll, Chucky. 

After entering the bedroom, Kyle is horrified to find Joanne has already been murdered. Just when things look like they couldn't get worse, Chucky bursts from the bedsheets and attacks her. Although mirrors appear throughout this fight, the crew were careful to remain unseen.

Except during one shot. After Kyle bumps into Joanne's corpse, the boom mic crops up in the mirror on the right. It's a mistake that's almost impossible to miss, since the mic pops up beside Kyle, who the audience should be fixated on during this moment.

But since Child's Play 2 is a pretty goofy flick, this flub isn't enough to ruin the experience.
