50 Gallons of Blood?! ‘Crystal Lake’ Goes to “Level 10” with the Gore; New Images
Worried that ‘Crystal Lake’ won’t be as bloody as you’re hoping? Rest assured, the upcoming series turns the iconic camp into a bloodbath.
We’re just over a week away from the Friday the 13th prequel series, Crystal Lake, slashing onto Peacock. Fans have many questions regarding what to expect from the series. One of the biggest has to be…how much gore can we expect? Well, according to effects creator Dave Presto, A LOT.
The Crystal Lake team recently sat down with EW to discuss the hotly anticipated horror series. When asked about how bloody the show gets, Presto had this to say: “Whenever we do remakes, they change it slightly in the gore factor. I was like, ‘So are we going to go full on, like level 10 gore? Are we gonna do 5, 6, 7?’ He’s [showrunner Brad Caleb Kane] like, ‘No, we wanna go 10.’”
Presto believes they used “probably 50 gallons of blood” to make the show, “if not more.”
Added Presto, “Which is an obscene amount of blood. A gallon of blood is a lot.”
Having seen Crystal Lake, I can assure you…it gets very, very bloody. For anyone worried the show won’t feature a good amount of gore, let that be the least of your concerns. The series goes hard when it comes to the bloodshed, with plenty of red stuff spilled across the iconic camp.
