1. The Conjuring 2 (2016)
Patrick Wilson and the crew were terrorized by a haunted curtain while on the set of The Conjuring 2.” It was a giant curtain that went from the floor to the ceiling, waving violently, and there was no door open or fan on,” Wilson said. “That was a very odd occurrence because nothing else was moving around it, and nothing else was blowing. Eventually, things on the set got so weird that a priest was called in to rid the space of negative energy.
2. Us (2019)
Lupita Nyong'o, the lead actress of this film, stayed in red while shooting her scenes to maintain the hesitant voice and the exact emotions, which terrify the crew members sometimes.

3. Mother! (2017)
Jennifer Lawrence went to such a dark place while filming Mother! that she needed a tent on set filled with happy things to retreat when things got “too dark.” Lawrence said: “It got to such a low point that I had to bring the Kardashians in. Not in person, obviously. I had to do this one scene. I had never gone that dark before, so I started getting scared of myself a couple of days beforehand, and I was like…I needed a tent, away from the extras, just because I didn't know what I would do. So there, I just had a computer playing the Kardashians.”
4. Carrie (1976)
Sissy Spacek, the main female lead of this movie, was so dedicated to her role that she slept in her fake blood-soaked prom gown and stayed like this for a couple of days to preserve the continuity.” She had a trailer pulled behind MGM Studios in Culver City. She slept in that blood for three days,” co-star P.J. Soles said. “I was like, ‘You're amazing that you would want to sleep in that sticky, icky stuff.' And she was like, ‘No, it's got to match; I want it to look great!”. Indeed, she is very passionate.
5. Candyman (1992)
Tony Todd kept those natural bees in his mouth while shooting the climax. But he made a deal that he'd charge a $1,000 bonus every time he got stung by bees. “After every shot, the beekeepers vacuum them into a soft pouch. Tony had a dental dam to prevent them going down his throat,” director Bernard Rose said. During the shoot, he got stung a total of 23 times.
6. Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015)
Tom Cruise has always been famous for doing massive stunts, from climbing to hanging onto an airplane as it takes off.

7. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Even though Marvel is a blockbuster, they don't spend money if they don't have to. The massive set constructed for the Kyln prison in Guardians of the Galaxy was so expensive to build that the studio only agreed to foot the bill after planning to melt down all the steel after filming and sell it back to the supplier. Pretty fascinating, isn't it?
8. Life of Pi (2012)

The director, along with the whole cast, is highly praised for their efforts in the movie.
9. Total Recall (2012)
While filming, Schwarzenegger noticed that Michael's Ironside was constantly on the phone between takes. When he broached the subject with Ironside, he was told that he was talking to his sister and that she currently had cancer.

10. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
While filming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Bella, the Neapolitan mastiff that played Fang, got very protective of Daniel Radcliffe and would jump in front of him whenever the animatronic spider for Aragog would come out to defend him, resulting in refilming the exact scene multiple times.
