This high-energy panel pulls back the curtain on the making of the films, with spine-chilling behind-the-scenes stories about the insane stunts, grisly practical FX features, and creative choices that drenched the screen in blood and carnage. Expect an inside look at how this modern cult franchise carved out its place in horror history.
