The sewer escape in The Shawshank Redemption didn't smell foul. It smelled delicious. Since even a committed actor like Tim Robbins won't crawl through actual sh!t, the sludge was created from chocolate syrup and sawdust. Not what most of us would want on a sundae, but it probably still beats prison food. CRACKED.COM — Source

Most people think fruitcake is crap. And absolutely all Game Of Thrones fans do. The Maester sh!te that Samwell Tarly is tasked with cleaning out of the Citadel's chamber pots was made from wet fruitcake shaped to look like turds. Over a full day's shooting, they got as gross as you would imagine. CRACKED.COM — Source

You've probably sat in some gross food at some point. But for hours at a time? And on purpose? Actors playing corpses in Day Of The Dead would be attached to bodies stuffed with entrails from a local meat plant, shooting for hours with their noses just inches away. Over the course of shooting, those piles went from disgusting to literally rancid. The true horror of the movie was the smell. CRACKED.COM — Source

25

Babies are cinematic bagels. (At least in terms of toppings.) With right out of the gate newborns not being an option, filmmakers need to be creative with birthing scenes to give babies that hello world shine. Some films take the Sara Lee route, slathering babies with jelly and cream cheese. Couldn't you just eat him up? CRACKED.COM — Source

24

The lava on Mustafar was way less hot and way more sticky than you'd expect. During Obi-Wan and Anakin's final duel in Revenge Of The Sith, the lava used during the practical shots was made from methyl cellulose, commonly used to make vegan gelatin. Ironically, it's the sort of thing younglings might have enjoyed as a snack. CRACKED.COM — Source

The merry old land of Oz had grape-flavored horses. Due to animal rights concerns, The Wizard of Oz folks had to find a new solution besides dye for making The Horse of a Different Color purple. JELL-O. 20.00 THE DELICIOUS DESSERT JELL-O. - DELICATE. DELIGHTPUL DAINTY Jekk-D - PRICE 10 THE GENESEE LE BOY.N.Y PURE BY FOOD Co PREPARED Then they thought of grape Jell-O. 30 While the effect worked, it did create one problem: The horses discovered their newfound deliciousness and kept licking themselves (and each other) clean.

Rich people eating people? Great show premise, but what do you do when your lead actress is a vegetarian? Meat-based props like sushi or ground meat weren't gonna work for Drew Barrymore's Santa Clarita Diet flesh-eating scenes. So the props team created some lifelike vegetarian gummy meat for her to eat instead. And by lifelike, we mean that the texture was like raw chicken. CRACKED.COM — Source

21

Eating a real horse heart would be horrifying. Apparently the gummy version was just as bad. Emilia Clarke said the gummy stallion heart that she had to eat for Game Of Thrones was covered in really sticky blood syrup that tasted like bleach. She even went missing from the set at one point after getting herself stuck to a toilet seat. CRACKED.COM — Source

20

What are android innards made of? Apparently the same ingredients as a romantic dinner. When Ash is revealed to be a robot after getting his head lopped off in Alien, the effects crew concocted a disgusting mixture of milk, caviar, and pasta to represent android guts (enough to gross out even the most dedicated Olive Garden fanatic). CRACKED.COM — Source

It doesn't snow much in Hollywood. Kellogg's CORN Enter FLAKES cornflakes. The ORIGINAL solde - - - - - - Before the 1940s, an easy way of making realistic-looking snow that wouldn't melt under the stage lights was to paint a bunch of cornflakes white. The problem was that cornflakes were a little too crunchy to walk on-surprisingly unlike the pleasant sound of stepping into fresh Utah powder. Moviemakers had to record dialogue separately and remove the audio of the snow. CRACKED.COM — Source

18

Turns out frigid hair sounds a lot like crisp frozen lettuce. ICEBERG! At least that's what the sound effects people for Titanic decided. When Rose turns her head toward her rescuers in the frigid North Atlantic, the crackling sound her icy hair makes was created by crunching frozen lettuce leaves. CRACKED.COM — Source

17

You know what sounds a lot like a person getting stabbed? A melon getting stabbed. In Psycho's famous shower scene, the sound effects were created by impaling a casaba melon, which made a great suction-y noise that sounded eerily human. The film was in black and white, so they just used chocolate syrup for the blood. (No word on whether there was a chocolate fondue fountain at craft services.) CRACKED.COM — Source

16

Cannibalism is a hard thing to picture. Unless you're George Romero. For the zombie flesh feast, the Night Of The Living Dead director had the actors eat body parts made from ham and pig intestines drenched in Bosco chocolate syrup.
