Ugh, we filmed until 4amPST today. Fun shoot though - this haunted mental hospital scares the crap out of me - I've filmed there a few times before and someone from the crew always swears they, or someone they knew, have seen ghosts there. I used to not believe in that until I worked there one time - it was stiflingly hot on one of the upper floors (it was built in 1911, abandoned and no more electricity), and I was walking down a hallway in the middle of the night with only the moon and streetlights to guide me, and I walked past this one room and it was FREEZING cold. I got freaked out, speed-walked to the end of the hallway, then crept back to that room. And it was hot again. There's all these stories of DOPs seeing a little girl looking out a window on the second floor, and an infamous story of a film crew whose camera actually caught a little orb of light moving down a tunnel while they were shooting a take.
The best part last night was when we wrapped in a different building there that has electricity, and a producer, Katie Cassidy (David's daughter - the star) and I were going down the elevator. And she's notorious for being a dumb blonde with a sweet disposition. And suddenly the elevator dropped two floors and made a hard stop (not a crash) - we couldn't get the door open, and Katie was just cracking her sh!t up, saying she was terrified we'd fall. And I'm joking, "Don't worry, if we do, it's only one more storey. But it looks like we're stuck so someone will just pry the door open." And then it dropped that last storey and landed with a bang and we were stuck in there for a few minutes. Funniest damn thing I've seen.
