Nick Castle was paid 25 dollars a day for playing Micheal Myers in 1978 and the original mask that could become the Micheal Myers mask was picked up on sale in a costume shop for 1.80
 
Well if nobody else is gonna post any trivia...



Bill Mosley returned to the Texas Chainsaw massacre series when he took over the role of Drayton Sawyer in Texas Chainsaw 3D. The role had previously been played by the late Jim sedow who Mosley Co stared with in the Texas Chainsaw 2 (1986)


Originally Mosley was going to reprise his role from that movie as chop top (the guy in my previous avatar pic) in the hopes of tying the previous films together. but unfortunately due to copyright disputes over the rights to the character, they couldn't use chop top at all.


Bonus fact, Bill Mosley got the role of chop top after tcm director Tobe Hooper saw him play the hitchhiker in a homemade fanfilm spoof TCM called The Texas Chain Saw Manicure.

Teen Titans had two main intros the English intro and the Japanese. The English intro played during more regular or serious episodes that were meant to be taken seriously. The Japanese intro played during more weird or comical episodes when it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

We probably all know this, but the characters in The Devil's Rejects, including Bill Moseley's portrayal of Otis B. Driftwood, were based on Marx Brothers characters from A Night at the Opera.

  • The word "alphabet" comes from the first two letters in the greek alphabet- "alpha" and "beta"
  • Learning a third language will always be easier than the second language
 
This one may be well known but....




Alan rickman has known that his character in the Harry Potter books Severus Snape would be the one to kill off Albus Dumbelldore ever since J. K Rowling told him when she first met him while working as a creative consultant for the first Harry Potter movie.

Apparently she told him this (and made him swear to keep it a secret between them) so he could spend however long it took to get to that point in the story getting into character so he would perfectly capture Snapes personality when he Finally did it.



Bonus fact; the actor playing Crabbe in the film version of Deathly Hallows is different from the original child actor who played him, because said actor had developed severe drug problems in the intervening years since Harry Potter 1 and 2.
 
Although there's no direct connection between the first three films in the living dead trilogy (night, dawn and day) there are some subtle refferenes between the films.

Ex. In dawn of the dead (nineteen seventy eight thank you word filter still blocking the number fucking8 xp) you can briefly see a rural farmhouse heavily implied to be the one from night of the living dead, and in day of the dead (1985) there's a refferene to a deceased "Cooper " possibly a refferene to Harry Cooper from night. And at one point the chopper featured in day of the dead was going to be implied to be the same one Peter and Francine used In dawn.
 
Night of the living dead entered the public domain because image 10 the original production company failed to add a copyright notice to the opening titles. Ironically the films original title night of the flesh eaters HAD a copyright notice attached.

So yeah had the title stayed night of the flesh eaters, it would still be copyrighted today.

That kind of technical failure throwing something into the public domain went away with the Copyright Act of 1976. I suppose that's kind of a fun fact if you're a certain kind of nerd.

Another fun fact, the guy who wrote that song was a lead singer in a kickass powerpop band called Jellyfish

To this day he refuses to do any interviews or mention the band almost at all, only off handedly mentioning it when he was interviewed about his new career, writing music for kids cartoons, mostly for Cartoon Network

He was also the dude who played "Dean Martin" in the Jack Rabbit Slim's restaurant scene in Pulp Fiction.
 
There is no exact origin to where the term "Boss." referring to a more powerful or the final enemy in a video game comes from. Some have said the concept originated in the Bruce Lee films the big boss and a game of death. Which involved Lee taking on A series of opponents on a set of "levels' or floors of a tower/pagoda untill reaching the big boss in charge of them all at the very top floor.


Other possible sources are D&D. Where a potential scenario for a dungeon crawling campaign would involves the heros taking on a series of monsters under the control of a powerful enemy like zombies controlled by a necromancer, goblins under the rule of a goblin king ect. a concept that was later inplimented into one o the first video Game versions of D&D called...well D&D in 1975 for a lesser known computer known as the PLATO.
