While we often like to be fooled by the magic of cinema, you might be shocked to discover that actors are people too. They need to eat, rest and have a day off like the rest of us. This has been true since the 80’s, but with movies so iconic it is hard to keep it in mind.These are just some of the moments where actors, staff, and everyone involved in the movie-making business took a moment to breathe, take a silly picture, and remember their lives outside the set. It not only makes them relatable, these pictures give us nostalgia even when we never saw them before.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});Nightmare on Elm Street CastIt’s not often that you’d see a killer and his victims chilling togther, but that’s the power of cinema for you. Sadly, Robert Englund, the actor that plays Freddy Krueger, had to keep the makeup at all times.Halloween Without A MaskWhen wearing a mask for too long, you might forget where your mouth is. Here, we have the actor playing the silent assassin, Michael Myers, breathing freely without the mask.Jason Catching Up With The NewsThe iconic slasher villain, Jason Voorhees, needs something to do when he isn’t chasing teenagers at summer camps. We think this picture is mostly staged, since reading anything has to be complicated with that mask on.Gambling GremlinsYou might be fooled into thinking that this is a still from the Gremlins movie, but not quite. Well, it is an image from its production, but here we see one of the creature’s puppeteers adjusting its position.The Beauty And The FlyThe Fly is quite the grotesque film, filled to the brim with body horror and themes of becoming something else. It’s good to know that the cast had time for levity in between harrowing shots.Texas Chainsaw GangPlaying the role of a chainsaw-wielding madman, with a hard-to-breath-in mask to boot, has to take a toll on anyone, particularly on the hot climate of Texas. Fortunately, the cast had the time to sit down and enjoy regular breaks.The Thing’s ArtistWhat makes The Thing still be relevant after all these years are its practical effects, created by the master of the craft, Rob Bottin. One can image that, once you get used to the horrific imagery, the props end up being used as toys by the cast.Han Solo’s Day OutHarrison Ford was known to be critical of the script in the Star Wars movies, something that likely led to tensions on set. Of course, that can’t have always be the case, since we have plenty of pictures of the cast having fun while filming.The Cast Of Better Off DeadThe classic dark comedy of the 80’s, Better Off Dead, has characters fight, compete and try to end it all in a constant teenage struggle. As expected, the cast were all friendly with each other, something shown here with them howllering.Getting That Beetle JuiceMichael Keaton did a stellar job when portraying Beetlejuice, the high-energy entity that haunts the characters of the film. All that energy had to be subdued during the make-up process, since the creature wouldn’t be the same if it looked human.Bare-chested Bruce CampbellIn the Evil Dead movies, Ash has to face all sorts of horrific nightmares, and takes a lot of damage in the process. Of course, no harm was done to the actor, who we see here having some fun with the make-up department.Cast Of TronThe real curiosity of how Tron was filmed, at least for today’s viewers, is that more things were practical than what you might expect. The suits, many props and some background details were actually there, as we see in this picture, albeit with less neon lights.Marty McBiteFilming Back to the Future was arduous work, and like any healthy person, the cast needs to eat to recover their stregth. Here, we see Michael J. Fox having some well earned rest before returning to the scene.Cast Of RoboCopThe villains of RoboCop are meant to be ruthless, greedy and evil, so we cheer for the hero when they get what’s coming to them. Of course, they are actually all charming people in real life, as shown in this group photo.The Set Of Honey, I Shrunk the KidsJoe Johnston was the mind behind many effects in 80’s movies, from large sets to tiny constructons. Here, we see him in a break, but never too far from his work.The post 15 ’80s Movie Stars Living Their Life On Set appeared first on Den of Geek.
