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.

Jonathan Majors' Victor Timely is still set to play a major role in Loki Season 2, according to executive producer Kevin Wright.
