James DeMonaco’s New Horror “The Home” Starring Pete Davidson Promises a Shocking Twist That Will Keep You Up at Night—Are You Ready to Face Your Fears?
The film was shot inside a real, abandoned retirement home in Denville, New Jersey, which added an extra layer of creepiness behind the scenes. “It still had the remnants of the people who lived there,” DeMonaco says. “Plaques on the walls showed who had died in each room. It definitely had a creepy feel.” One discovery, though, still gives him chills. “In one of the rooms, we found a music box under a bed. We learned the last resident was named Norma, which is the same name as Mary Beth Peil’s character in the movie. And one of the songs the box played was the very one she sings in the film. That coincidence was creepy as hell.”
On set, the horrors weren’t all make-believe. There were real rats (one named Caesar), a venomous centipede that sent the crew into a panic, and the bitter winter cold. But nothing topped the now-infamous eye clamp scene.
