15 Difficult Scenes To Film In Stranger Things

are you okay okay the town of hawkins isn't exactly the safest place to live in and some of that danger carried into the real-life production of stranger things these are the scenes that were dangerous and difficult for the actors to film if you're little and you're scared of stuff do not maybe watch the season get watch it with an adult number one millie bobby brown had to do a lot of spinning for this season 3 scene during the scene when she is in the void with billy her character falls backwards after escaping billy's grip it seems like a simple stunt but the behind the scenes execution of this scene was dizzying millie was hooked into a rig that spun her around and around and around after doing the same shot multiple times and spinning over and over again the nauseating experience actually made millie throw up afterwards and how can anyone blame her that looked more intense than any theme park ride number two look at hot enough 220 degrees we just have to figure out how to get him in here while the sauna scene in season three was meant to show billy burning up the actual filming of the scene had everyone on set dealing with the heat the director of the episode sean levy stated that there were 100 people present that day on a small set that was very tight and that he got over a hundred different angles of the scene things got so intense during filming that millie bobby brown actually collapsed due to exhaustion during the scene and that shot is in the show finn wolfhard caught her and had no idea what to do you can actually see him looking off screen for help in the final cut as he was genuinely concerned for her safety their commitment to the scene paid off as the raw energies showed up on screen number 3 the finale of season three was an emotional rollercoaster and no scene was more powerful than when eleven read hopper's note to her to ensure they got the best most raw reaction possible millie made sure not to read the speech beforehand she wanted to know absolutely nothing about it she didn't even rehearse the scene i just immediately wanted to put a camera on me and find the way i react and the way i reacted was pure devastation and sadness so the emotions were raw in that scene for sure on top of this they also had to film the farewell scene with everybody she said they imagined it was the end of filming forever and everyone started crying when the cameras started rolling it sounds like it was a very somber day on set hey [Music] it's gonna be okay number four the final showdown of season three ended in the star court mall and at one point saw billy pinning down 11 as he was being controlled by the mind flayer this was a difficult scene to film both physically and mentally millie bobby brown noted the scene as one of the most difficult because the two actors needed to figure out how they were going to play the scene with the level of intensity they usually bring dager montgomery was conscientious when it came to not hurting millie during the scene but he also wanted to bring his usual level of intensity if you want to know how dedicated these two actors are to their craft they said they would run around the mall screaming until they cried and we both lost our voices cause and we don't even speak in the scene but we were just screaming at each other sean levy described the pair as two of our most powerful actors number five daker montgomery and millie bobby brown's intensity didn't stop at that one scene they were bringing their intense energy to every single scene they filmed together even if there's no screaming in a certain scene i'd scream between takes and so would millie we'd scream at each other until we cried baker described the experience of filming with millie as a significant mental challenge and said that they both gave 200 into every scene they did together montgomery was screaming so much throughout the course of filming that he lost his voice nearly every day it sounds like the dynamic between dager and millie was truly special number six let's keep rolling with dager montgomery's extreme intensity on set during the sonos scene in season three when the kids trap billy montgomery took his intensity to a whole new level and may have gone a little too far in the scene his character billy is supposed to taunt and yell at the kids through the door that's what was shown in the final cut but there was a much angrier take montgomery actually headbutted the glass window and did so with such force that his head actually broke through the glass the glass was thick and not designed to break so it was a shocking moment to say the least and the kids reacted with horror it was a very dangerous moment and it was physically exhausting as well i put everything that i had into it but luckily montgomery wasn't hurt still he was hoping the take would make the final cut imagine my disappointment when that take wasn't used number seven another scene another example of daker montgomery's commitment to giving it 200 each and every take during the shower scene in season three montgomery was so physically and emotionally invested that he didn't even realize he had covered himself in scrapes and bruises he learned later on in the day when he took off his makeup and prosthetics to discover the injuries one particularly gross memory he recounted was peeling the skin off the top of his toes i said are you hurt what's going on i heard screaming his commitment to his character is truly impressive number eight yet another emotionally taxing scene took place in season two when 11 has a confrontation with hopper and we went through so many different emotions we get angry at each other we are like we are like father and daughter it also sounded like the whole experience was therapeutic for the actors as brown stated that arguing wasn't limited to just on camera we got angry with each other and we would express our feelings on and off the set david harbour also had a cathartic experience filming these emotionally demanding scenes it was a sort of unlocking in me as a human being of like a love that was uh human but that was pure number nine will's possession scene in season two wasn't the most fun experience for noah schnapp he had to wear black contacts throughout the day of shooting which burned his eyes and he was nervous to have to perform the seizure part of the scene it was really scary you kind of just lock up and i had to prepare for that a lot on top of this it was actually pretty cold on set the heaters you see didn't actually work to heat up the room it was winter during shooting and noah's clothing was not optimal and the cherry on top is that noah joined the ranks of his co-stars as someone who lost their voice due to screaming during a scene number 10 when eleven closes the gate during the season two finale there is a lot of screaming and intensity it was a difficult scene for millie bobby brown to get through as it required her to be lifted into the air on a crane while yelling non-stop in between takes millie would have to recompose herself because the scene made her nauseous i'd have to like take a breather throw up a little then come back inside do it again luckily for her the ever lovely david harbour was right there by her side to help out even offering her bracelets that supposedly would help her nausea number 11 entering the void isn't as easy as 11 makes it look millie bobby brown was actually floating in a pool filled with salt for this scene in season 1. it actually seems pretty peaceful but it was a different story on set it was freezing cold the day they shot this and millie had no help staying warm in that pool the crew tried heating the pool but it was to no avail as it was too shallow to retain any of the heat fortunately for them millie was a trooper braving the cold to get the scene done number 12 when 11 is in chicago with kali and tregang cauley puts the image of papa into her mind and 11 is confronted by him this was another very emotionally draining scene from millie she got so into it that even after cut was called the emotions of the scene were still running through her after filming was done she went into the bathroom and cried for about 45 minutes number 13. a first kiss for anyone is nerve wracking let alone having to do it in front of cameras and an audience sadie sink and caleb mclaughlin both had their first kiss during the school dance scene at the end of season 2. sadie was actually told about the kissing scene the day before it was going to happen as it was never in the script the duffer brothers revealed they were initially joking when they told her but decided to do the kiss for real when they saw how strongly sadie reacted to make things a thousand times worse there were a ton of people watching just to guarantee maximum awkwardness my first kiss was in front of like two women and their parents and the crew and my mom number 14. sadie and caleb weren't the only two that kissed that day right before they did their kissing scene finn wolfhard and millie bobby brown shared a kiss of their own they had already kissed in season 1 but that didn't stop this moment from being very awkward as we know the set was full of people watching on top of this wolfhard stated that the gym they were filming in was very hot to make things even weirder all the extras clapped after they kissed talk about uncomfortable at least wolfhard warned millie before going for the kiss he was like okay i'm coming in number 15. as we've learned millie bobby brown has done a lot of screaming during her time playing the character 11. however season 3 was a particularly scream-filled season for millie she stated that she lost her voice five times over the eight months she was filming but just because filming was over didn't mean the screaming was too millie was brought back into the recording booth to record additional lines and dub over the ones she already did this meant screaming all over again i was screaming so much during the shoot usually but she doesn't like this voice it sure does sound like filming for stranger things was an intense experience did you know millie bobby brown tore her kneecap while filming for stranger things season 3 was still ongoing it didn't happen on set but did affect the production she ended up needing a stunt double to fill in for a lot of her scenes let us know your thoughts about these dangerous scenes in the comments and thanks for stopping by at the things
