The Kiernan Shipka-led comedy slasher used a real gravitron for its big finale.
The spooky movie season has a new face of fear. Prime Video's Totally Killer introduces fans to the Sweet 16 Killer, a mask-clad, knife-wielding murderer who targets a group of four teenage girls around Halloween in 1987, killing three of them over three days in October. The murders were never solved, and the Sweet 16 Killer went dormant for the next four decades. Flash forward to 2023, and that sinister smile returns, targeting the now-grown fourth girl, Pam Hughes .
"We definitely looked at and Halloween, I think the original Halloween was a big reference," Overton said."In fact, there's a couple of frames that we pretty highly resembled or almost duplicated. I think the vibe of those 1980s films was exactly what we were going for, something that we could easily slot back into because we bounced around from 2023 back to '87.
"I'd never seen anything like it. When I got that on the script, I was like, 'This is going to be incredible,'" Overton said."You could already tell that that was going to be a set piece that was going to stand out and a really great way to end the film. The logistics on that were pretty extreme. We went through every iteration. It's a small space on these gravitons.
"Could we build on a stage and actually have flyaway walls and have all of our rigging points in our lighting dialed in? But that just wasn't in our budget, so we had to go with a real gravitron," Overton continued."Then we had to kind of do as little as we possibly could because it's actually a pretty technical piece of equipment. Safety is very important to those guys and they get engineers to survey it after every time it's set up.
