Breaking new ground
Back in the early eighties. Doyle and his team were breaking new
ground. Having two people in the revolving room together, but on

different surfaces, had. as far as they knew, never been done

before. Another thing that made this set unique was the fact that it

had open windows. "We also decided that we've seen all those
other rotating rooms so we should do one where we can see
outside the windows," says Doyle. "We made it so we could
actually "fly" the lighting right with the rooms." The lights and
cameras were attached to the room, so that the shadows didn't

shift- The resuh was startlingly impressive effects, without a

computer-generated image in sight!

Censorship battles
So convincing, in fact, were the effects that both scenes utilising the

turnaround room fell foul of the Motion Picture Producers

Association. Tina's death sequence was the first part of the film to

be censored, in particular when she fails from the ceiling onto the

bed- ."There was a huge splash of blood" relates director Wes

Craven, "and they were like completely offended by that." In the

end Craven compromised and Tina's murder scene was trimmed.

na wriggles, she thrashes, she screams... and then all of a

sudden her chest is brutally slashed open by invisible

razor-sharp claws. It's a powerful on-screen moment, one

created by expert make-up artist David Miller. "That was a
very interesting effect," he explains, "because I had to make
a false chest of her and fill these claw gaps with a wax
material." Strings were used to pull the gashes open and
then the blood would come pouring out. The strings were
made from a super thin monofilament line, which meant
they were invisible to the camera and it really looked like

the lethal slashes were appearing by themselves!
