"If you look really closely you might be able to tell I’m like a little puffier," Wilde, 30, said of doing re-shoots for the film. "But it was really funny because the image of me with the lenses and the death makeup with this giant belly. It was like a whole different horror movie."

Wilde elaborated more to Us Weekly recently about her love of watching horror movies. "I get way into it and I’m just locked in it," she told Us. "I don’t think I yell and scream. I just internalize all the terror and take it with me, in the worst possible way. I’ve always been into it. I used to have a little horror fiction library in my bedroom when I was a kid… I had all the R.L. Stine [books]. I mean anything you know, Frankenstein, I had anything that freaked me out."
