Horror movies are meant to do one thing: scare us silly. <\/p>\n

They serve as cautionary tales, outlets for anxiety<\/a>, excuses to cuddle closer on a date, and manifestations of our fears both real and imagined. It’s hard to picture the movie monsters of our nightmares as anything other than terrifying.<\/p>\n

But beneath the masks and prosthetics and makeup, they’re normal human beings playing a role. And humans screw up, frequently and often hilariously. Even the most feared villains of horror are humanized when they flub their lines, miss their marks, trip over a cable or accidentally break a prop in the middle of filming a tense scene. Behind-the-scenes bloopers<\/a> are a great way to see a completely different side of actors we normally associate with fearsome creatures and legendary baddies. <\/p>\n

Michael Myers, for example, might be the patron saint of slashers, but it’s awfully hard to be scared when you see a pic of Nick Castle goofing around on the set of the original 1978 movie. <\/p>\n

Or this shot of Robert Englund striking a pose as Freddy Krueger with the quintessential ’80s boombox on the set of A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/em> in 1984. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Check out an extremely baby-faced Johnny Depp in this one<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look, even quasi-unkillable monsters need to hydrate and get loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it’s even more entertaining when you see horror movie bloopers on video. 2007’s Halloween<\/em> may not have been a well-received reboot of the franchise, but Michael Myers is just as terrifying as ever, even with a new actor under the mask. Still, you have to hand it to actor Tyler Mane \u2013 this blooper of him entering a house with murder on his mind only to exit wearing a Jason Voorhees mask is pretty great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
