You can't make a great horror movie without  also making a few mistakes.
  The final girl bursts out laughing during  her big escape scene; the blood-spewing machine
  malfunctions and saturates the entire set;  the flesh-eating swamp monster trips over
  his own tentacles and falls down a flight  of stairs.
  Sometimes these clips get relegated to the  gag reel, while in other cases they're so
  good they end up in the final film.
  Either way, here's a look at some great bloopers  that will change the way you see these horror
  movies.
  The Cabin in the Woods
  Joss Whedon's 2012 entry into the horror genre  was typically tongue-in-cheek, filled with
  intentional, hilarious subversions of various  scary movie tropes — including the epic
  finale, in which a virtual encyclopedia of  monsters escape from their cells and annihilate
  the technicians who've been holding them captive.
  But while the carnage of that last act was  planned, one of its best scenes was the beneficiary
  of a happy little accident.
  Specifically, we're talking about the scene  where actor Bradley Whitford is eaten by the
  merman.
  The death itself was cool, but the best part  is what comes after.
  "Ah, come on…"
  The blowhole shooting is hilarious.
  But it's also not what the filmmakers originally  planned.
  With only the one scene to shoot, the effects  crew decided to use their entire remaining
  supply of fake blood.
  So instead of a little burp of blood, the  merman blew like Old Faithful—and kept on
  blowing, until the blood ran out and the geyser-like  effect was replaced by a farty red mist.
  Effects master David LeRoy Anderson of AFX  later said, "I love the wide shot in the behind-the-scenes
  video where the blood keeps going and going,  because it reminds me of that night, which
  was just hysterical.
  I kept thinking, 'How are they going to use  this?
  He's sitting there flapping like a fish, and  it looks like a hose spraying blood everywhere!'
  But the way they cut it together was perfect."
  Scream
  In 1996, Wes Craven's sendup of the slasher  genre heralded the dawn of a new wave of smart,
  sleek, self-aware horror films.
  The special effects, however, were the same  tried-and-true practical techniques directors
  have relied on for years, including the use  of corn syrup to simulate blood.
  And in a movie where it seemed like someone  was stabbed to death every other minute, things
  were extremely sloppy and sticky on set by  the time the film reached its thrilling climax.
  This led to a hilarious unplanned exchange,  when Skeet Ulrich lost control of the blood-covered
  phone and accidentally winged it right at  Matthew Lillard's head, leading to a very
  genuine reaction from the surprised actor.
  "Ahh.
  F------ hit me with the phone, D---!"
  Ordinarily, an outburst like that might have  led to a shout of "Cut!" and a request to
  do the scene again.
  But according to the Scream DVD commentary,  because Lillard was supposed to be playing
  the doofy sidekick to Ulrich's cold-blooded  psychopath, his reaction wasn't out of character.
  Craven went ahead and kept it safely off the  cutting room floor.
  As it turned out, it was a wise move; not  only did the line make it to the final cut,
  it's one of the funniest moments in the movie.
  Another of the funniest moments in Scream  can only be seen in the blooper reel, though,
  and it comes courtesy of the director himself.
  Wes Craven, who also directed the classic  A Nightmare on Elm Street, made a cameo in
  Scream dressed as Nightmare villain Freddy  Krueger.
  That was fun enough, but in one outtake, he  a gift for physical comedy that fans wish
  had made the final film.
  Scream 3
  The third entry in the Scream franchise was  also improved by an on-camera mistake.
  The exciting conclusion to Wes Craven's Scream  trilogy is full of scripted suspense, but
  one of its most action-packed fight scenes  has a big blooper right in the middle.
  According to an encyclopedic collection of  Scream 3 trivia, the confrontation between
  Neve Campbell and Scott Foley includes an  actual, genuine stabbing, in the moment where
  Sidney leaps over a bar and nails Roman in  the back with an ice pick.
  Foley was wearing a protective pad for the  scene, but Campbell missed her mark and plunged
  the pick into Foley's actual flesh.
  No wonder his scream of surprise and pain  seems so genuine!
  The Descent
  A terrifying movie in which a bunch of young  women are stalked and killed while exploring
  a darkened cave system gets even more frightening  when The Descent adds in a bunch of subterranean
  monsters want to eat their delicious flesh.
  That's why it's so funny on the blooper reel  when one of the victims, whose face is all
  deformed from unspeakable things, gives one  of the humans an unexpected moment of romance.
  "Love you.."
  House of Wax
  The 2005 remake of the '50s horror classic  House of Wax starred WB heartthrobs such as
  Chad Michael Murray from One Tree Hill, Jared  Padalecki from Gilmore Girls…and socialite,
  reality star, and night vision camera owner  Paris Hilton.
  To her credit, the often dispassionate Hilton  gives everything she's got to her performance
  as a scream queen, shrieking bloody murder  as the script requires.
  The screaming is intentionally annoying, but  still not nearly as annoying as actual the
  car alarm that went off during a scene in  the woods, ruining the shot.
  Scream 4
  Acting can be magical when a director gets  a perfect, believable reaction from a performer
  — like one of abject terror in a horror  movie, for example.
  Or, you can just pull a prank on an actor  on a set of a horror movie and scare him for
  real.
  On the set of Scream 4, Erik Knudsen was apparently  supposed to open a door and find nothing there.
  Instead of nothing, however, there was something  — something actually pretty frightening,
  especially if you're not expecting it.
  "Ahh S---!"
  Halloween
  Star Malcolm McDowell is always an imposing  presence who dominates every scene he's in,
  whether he's playing the hero, an antihero,  or a villain.
  In Rob Zombie's 2007 version of Halloween,  he plays Dr. Samuel Loomis, the former psychiatrist
  of crazed murderer Michael Myers.
  Myers eventually comes for Dr. Loomis, of  course, and he cowers in fear in a darkened
  house.
  But when Myers smashes through the door to  get him, McDowell seems taken off guard.
  Apparently he didn't realize they were filming  that bit yet.
  "You must be f------ joking!"
  That Halloween reboot must have been a pretty  lively set to work on, because its blooper
  reel offers up another goofy outtake.
  What's so funny about being stabbed?
  As far as actor Ken Foree is concerned, everything.
  While Michael Myers repeatedly stabs him with  a prop knife and fake blood audibly oozes
  everywhere, Foree gets a case of the giggles  that simply won't die.
  Jennifer's Body
  Oscar winner Diablo Cody wrote the screenplay  for Jennifer's Body, which offered character
  relationships a bit more complex than those  in the average horror movie.
  Over the course of the film, nerdy Anita,  played by Amanda Seyfried, comes to both love
  and hate her best friend, popular cheerleader-turned  murderous succubus Jennifer, played by Megan
  Fox.
  Those mixed feelings physically manifest in  a scene in which Seyfried screams accusatory
  things at Fox's character…and then kisses  her.
  Or at least she tries to kiss her, as Fox  is apparently so deep into her monstrous character
  that she takes a bite out of her costar.
  "I actually bit her.
  I'm sorry."
  The Witch
  One of the most truly haunting horror movies  in years was The Witch.
  It features an atmospheric setting in colonial  Massachusetts, and it's paired with the scary
  premise that the witches of the Salem Witch  Trial era just might have been real.
  There's tons of weird stuff in The Witch,  from dark woods to kidnapping to naked people
  drinking blood to a goat named Black Phillip  that a pair of creepy twins says talks to
  them.
  But what's not so scary, though?
  Horses.
  Particularly horses needing to go about their  horse bodily functions with no regard for
  the very expensive film production happening  right in front of them.
  "If you don't let me alone with ya, I'll wake  mother and father this instant."
  The Silence of the Lambs
  Anthony Hopkins deservedly won an Academy  Award for Best Actor for his performance as
  cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter  in The Silence of the Lambs.
  Famously, it was one of only a handful of  horror movies to ever take home major Oscars.
  Hopkins is one the best actors in the world,  and as such, is quite versatile — he played
  an American president in Nixon, and a repressed  English butler in The Remains of the Day.
  He even played Rocky Balboa once.
  No, really, he did.
  While his face and shirt were covered in blood  during a twisted and hilarious outtake on
  the set of The Silence of the Lambs, he brought  his inner Rocky out for the world to see.
  "This one's for you Adrian.
  Not you, Pauly.
  Let's go for it.
  Rocky V. Let's do it now.
  That goes on the F------ box."
  Even cannibals need to laugh now and then.
  Shaun of the Dead
  Zombie-driven horror comedy Shaun of the Dead  made a movie star out of Simon Pegg.
  It also reunited the actor with his collaborators  from the cult British sitcom Spaced, including
  director Edgar Wright and costar Nick Frost.
  They're all good friends and seem to share  the same comedy hive mind, which means Pegg
  and Frost frequently ad-libbed and goofed  off on the set of Shaun of the Dead, ruining
  takes but cracking up each other and anybody  else in the vicinity.
  "Oh ah over here over here over here…
  Oh bullocks.
  Ok, ah..
  F--- it.
  F--- off.
  Back the f---- up."
  Now, why don't Rick and the rest of the gang  on Walking Dead just try that next time?
