There’s a couple in there that you just want to remind people of the kind of movie. Some scares are, on a 1 to 10, they’re just a 5, and that’s okay. I didn’t want to overpromise and under-deliver. We only have one of those doors that he’s got to burst through, and you’re like, ‘What?’ Little things like that that you’re constantly asked to compromise, so scares become different. All you want is time, and unfortunately, with this schedule, even though Blumhouse was awesome with supporting me, just by the nature of scheduling, certain scares would get pushed to the end of the day, or some variable would happen. I guarantee you, if I had to shoot that in production, they would’ve given me four hours, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it. One, it was an amazing idea that Leigh had, but we got all day to shoot it. It’s why the MRI sequence worked so well. And James would be the first to tell you that, and Leigh would say the same thing, I’m sure. He continues, “That’s usually how it happens. “I wanted different types of scares and I’ll be honest, some didn’t work out as well as I wanted, usually because of time,” Wilson explains. When asked about his approach to crafting scares, Wilson got candid. The Red Door‘s jump scares play with sound, often removing the music cues signaling an impending scare altogether and shaking up the familiar pattern.

Wilson, who also pulled triple duty singing with Ghost for end credit track “Stay”, spoke with Bloody Disgusting about the scare-crafting on the fifth Insidious entry. In the film, “To put their demons to rest once and for all, Josh ( Wilson ) and a college-aged Dalton ( Ty Simpkins ) must go deeper into The Further than ever before.” The horror franchise’s original cast is back in Insidious: The Red Door, playing in theaters now and directed by and starring Patrick Wilson.
