When we watch movies, we generally assume that the actors are acting. That is basically their entire job description, after all.

There were a lot of weird things going on during the filming of horror movie Poltergeist. The production used real skeletons, and the actors claimed that there was some weird and creepy energy on set the whole time.
But the scariest thing for actress Jobeth Williams was when she had to swim in a muddy pool with electrical wires and lights nearby. She was terrified that she would be electrocuted. Director Steven Spielberg reassured her by putting on boots and standing in the pool with her. “If it gets you, it gets me too,” he said.
