Insidious: The Red Door's Ty Simpkins recalls "gross" vomit scene

Insidious star Ty Simpkins has revealed more about a particularly "gross" scene he undertook while filming The Red Door.


After first being introduced to his character Dalton Lambert in 2010's Insidious, Simpkins is back for the upcoming fifth instalment, due in cinemas next week.


Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Simpkins delved into the practical effects behind the eagerly-anticipated horror – including one stomach-churning scene where Dalton is vomited on.


"It was very practical. I know there were SpaghettiOs in there and applesauce and I think some cinnamon was like the main concoction, I guess you can call it," he said while describing what went into creating the effects.


"They had a hose attached to this dude's cheek and I think we did it three times with the vomit and I have pictures from that day. I was drenched in all this gross stuff, but it was fun.


"I was very excited to film that scene and it was the last shot of a day, it was 3am and I was just getting vomited on my face to wake me up."


When asked why cinnamon was used in the creation, he reasoned: "I think it's something to do with the colour, but I think also probably for the taste because it was getting in my mouth."


With Lin Shaye, Rose Byrne, and Patrick Wilson (who also directs) returning as well, Insidious 5 will see Dalton heading off to college, though his demons aren't far behind – and neither are his father Josh's.


The Red Door is based on a story from franchise co-creator Leigh Whannell, with a script created by Scott Teems, who worked on Halloween Kills.


The film is being billed as the last in the franchise, which also includes Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013), Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015), and Insidious: The Last Key (2018).


Since their release, the first four Insidious films have grossed over $542 million worldwide, against a total budget of $26.5 million. This Is Us' Mandy Moore and Eternals Kumail Nanjiani are also teaming up for a forthcoming spin-off movie called Thread: An Insidious Tale.

Every Underworld Movie, Ranked by Rotten Tomatoes

Fans and critics have shared opinions of the Underworld franchise, and Rotten Tomatoes is no exception. The Underworld series is made up of action-horror films revolving around the ongoing war between vampires and werewolves, each trying to destroy the other. Amidst this conflict, the love story between Selene, a powerful vampire, and Michael, a hybrid being, is a recurring theme. Throughout the series, figures on both sides prove to have hidden agendas. At times, it's hard to tell who is an ally and who is an enemy. One group may be on the brink of extinction, but this might just be what they want the enemies to think. Eventually, even humans learn of the secret war. The Underworld franchise, made up of at least five films and an animated short, has an interesting history. There have even been planned canceled crossovers with I, Frankenstein, Blade, and Resident Evil. Thanks to its fan base, an Underworld reboot had also been planned for the small screen.

Loki Producer Shares Cryptic Comment on Kang's Future in the Multiverse

Loki’s executive producer Kevin Wright says there are clues about Kang’s future in the MCU in the show’s Season 2 finale. Loki Season 2 wrapped up with an epic finale for its titular character while also leaving new questions about Kang the Conqueror's role in the MCU moving forward. Tom Hiddleston's Loki is one of the MCU's most developed characters - his latest turn in the Disney+ series is far removed from 2011 Thor's single-minded villain arc. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Executive Producer Kevin Wright spoke at length about the titular character now that Loki Season 2 has wrapped up, culminating in a self-sacrifice that weaved Loki into the fabric of the Marvel Multiverse. Considering how the Kang variants also played pivotal parts in the series, Loki becoming the Multiverse's guardian begs the question if it affects Kang the Conqueror's development as the MCU's next big bad. Wright cautiously commented on the show's impact on the MCU
