But what makes it special is\u00a0<strong>Julia Rehwald<\/strong>\u2018s performance as Kate. It\u2019s not just visceral because of the ghastly image of her character <em>being fed into a bread slicer head first<\/em>, but because this is a fun, likable character being killed without mercy. It\u2019s a scene built to generate a reaction.<\/p>\n<p>The kill was im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely embraced by horror fans, although the cinematographer behind the sequence,\u00a0Caleb Heymann, has been too busy working on\u00a0<em>Stranger Things<\/em>\u00a0to see the full extent of its warm reception. From the beginning, though, he knew it was going to be good. \u201cIt\u2019s one you read in a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>, it\u2019s awesome, and you know it\u2019s going to be very memorable and gruesome,\u201d Heymann told us. \u201cAlmost immediately your mind asks, \u2018How the heck are we going to do that?\u2019 Leigh [Janiak] arranged with\u00a0<strong>Sean Brennan<\/strong>, our art director, and their whole team to bring in an actual bread slicer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And not just any old bread slicer, but the bread slicer actually used in the production. \u201cThey did a test with watermelon,\u201d the cinematographer told us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 -->\u201cThe logic was, could a bread slicer actually cut through a human head? The melon was devised that, if it could cut through a melon, it was in the range of possibilities. It actually worked. A lot of people didn\u2019t think it would. Everyone was jumping around and high-fiving. It was a big victory for Leigh. It showed that this super outlandish scene she came up with we could justify doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The scene is a satisfying mix of practical and CG. It\u2019s impressive on a technical level, but for the team behind the skull-chopping, it\u2019s Julia Rehwald\u2019s performance that makes it sing. \u201cShooting something like that was crazy,\u201d Heymann said. \u201cJulia crushed it. We knew the audience would be devastated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for making the actual kill happen: in the words of Nancy Meyers\u2026it\u2019s complicated. \u201cYou gotta worry about the cake continuity and matching how a stunt actor\u2019s face falls in the cake,\u201d Heymann said, referring to how Rehwald\u2019s character is covered with dessert during her demise. He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd then, you have to get it right again with Julia. It\u2019s a prosthetic mold of her head that was made, which was quite elaborate and full of blood. We wanted to do it practically, as far as getting in-camera elements of a prosthetic head going through a bread slicer. We want to see the slicer with all the blood and guts. I know they had to enhance it with visual effects and more blood splatter, but it was elaborate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The grocery store sequence as a whole was one of the craziest weeks of production. It was done over a five-day period, with 68 setups. It was, as Heymann confirmed, \u201cDefinitely Bayhem,\u201d a joking reference to the chaotic and fast-paced sets of action filmmaker Michael Bay. From Monday to Friday, \u201cit was a mad scramble to the finish line.\u201d<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_3 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-685749\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Fear-Street-photo-1-700x292.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Fear-Street-photo-1-700x292.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Fear-Street-photo-1-360x150.jpg 360w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Fear-Street-photo-1-768x321.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Mythical_Quest_for_The_Perfect_Scream\"><\/span><strong>The Mythical Quest for The Perfect Scream\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once the sequence reached the hands (and ears) of sound mixer Trevor Gates, he was equally impressed and challenged. \u201cOh my God,\u201d Gates said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat was a very complex set of sounds to articulate in the bread slicer. We started with some organic sounds. Then, we manufactured some gore and bone-popping as she goes in. It\u2019s terrifying. From a story standpoint, the sound of the bread slicer itself and the cutting of Kate\u2019s head\u2026it\u2019s horrifying, but what\u2019s most horrifying about that is Kate\u2019s scream.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>First and foremost, Gates wanted to give credit to Rehwald. \u201cThe screaming from Kate was performed by her on the day,\u201d Gates said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNo real ADR. She nailed it. We embraced that. It was terrifying from the beginning. They did several takes of it on the set, so we had some variations of her screaming, to place in and around when we cut back to the characters at the lobster tank. We did record some ADR for the moment, which we sprinkled in for the peripheral perspectives, but she nailed it on the day. It was harsh, grating, dirty, and visceral. We felt confident moving forward with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rehwald truly went for it, and Gates had a great horror movie scream to play with in post-production. Which, as he pointed out, is a dream for a sound designer. \u201cWith the screams, there\u2019s a mythical quest for the perfect horror scream,\u201d he said. \u201cA part of our loop group ADR focus was to get a couple of screamers that could really belt. We got a few really good pieces from those players, but a lot of the screams we felt from the cast, they did a good job. Teenagers and young adults have these fun, breaking voices.\u201d<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_4 -->The complete <em>Fear Street<\/em> trilogy is currently streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
