Sissy Spacek Slept in Her Fake Blood Costume for Three Nights on Carrie
The prom scene clothing couldn't be washed, so the star kept it on between shoots
While filming Carrie, Sissy Spacek really slept in her fake blood clothing for three nights. It's 100% true.
Her trailer was right behind the set of the prom. For continuity purposes, and to stay in character, she decided to sleep in that clothing.
The fake blood in the movie was, of course, not real pig's blood. It was a sticky mixture of warm corn syrup and food coloring.
Whenever they finished the prom night shoots, she did have to be hosed down to get it off her skin. But they couldn't wash the clothing, and she didn't want it to get ruined, so she decided to sleep in it.
Would you sleep in a costume like that to stay in character?
