the snakes biting - yes they did

My husband did the snake work for this movie................there was glass between the snake and the actor. Latex had to be put over the glass so when the snake struck there was a "skin" to bite.

oh, and here's a bit of trivia.........Bet you guys don't know who the stunt double for Heather was. Well I do, it was my husband, since he supplied the snakes for the movie, they felt he would be the best. They also rented his extensive library for the film (to make the film more authentic? ha ha). So, I guess this movie was part of his 15 minutes of fame.

I love that movie. same question. any snakes harmed during the making? it looks so real. If they didn't harm the snakes then that was great special effects

Cool about your husbands work!

I am a big fan of the film and have been looking for any outtakes, candid shots, or other materials taken during the making of the film. Would you have any you would be in a position to share?

Thanks,
Glenn

The best thing about this movie was your husbands work and his library. Bravo!

I do realize I am replying to a thread that was started almost 8 years ago, but why create a thread and never come back to answer anyone's questions?
