10 things you should know
about the Crimson Peak:
1. This film is about a fami-
ly which wants to keep the
house that they have inhe-
rited in a good condition
2. Ghosts were recorded
on a camera, so they used
actors in costumes, not a
CGI. It was easier for ac-
tors to act because they
had them right in front of
them.
3. The house which they
have created was massive.
Del Toro had to pay half of
the bills so they could even
build that house.
4. The whole construction
had three staircases (each
one of them had a diffe-
rent theme) and a functio-
ning elevator.
5. Very common motives
are butterflies and moths.
6. Some parts of furniture
were made into different
sizes - when the characters
were mentally weak the
furniture became bigger
and other way round.
7. The construction of the
house had to be demo-
lished at the end of the fil-
ming, so they could create
a new space in the studio.
8. Del Toro had written 10
pages long autobiography
about each character.
9. The soundtrack for this
movie will do Fernando Ve-
lazquez who have worked
on soundtracks of Mama
and The Orphanage as
well.
10. There have been writ-
ten 11, maybe 12 versions
of the scenario, because
during the filming Del Toro
was still getting new ideas
and scenarios.
