Fun facts and wild true stories from behind the scenes of some of history's most beloved and infamous movies.

Movies in the Making

M. Night Shyamalan

In the months leading up to&nbsp;The Sixth Sense&#39;s release in August 1999, there was little buzz around the film and&nbsp;no expectations that it would become a hit. Disney had so little faith in it that, even though one of their executives paid millions for the script, the studio ended up offloading&nbsp;the production rights to an independent film company. M. Night Shyamalan was relatively unknown at the time, and the film starred&nbsp;a&nbsp;child actor&nbsp;alongside Bruce Willis, who was known for making big-budget action movies, not moderately budgeted psychological thrillers. Some publications left The Sixth Sense off their list of releases for fall 1999. Even Shyamalan was hedging his bets about its success - he hoped it would make enough money to give him a chance to direct&nbsp;another film.

But behind the scenes of The Sixth Sense,&nbsp;the cast and crew knew what they were making&nbsp;was something special, with a final plot twist that would shock audiences and critics alike. Their belief in the underdog project was validated when&nbsp;the film grossed a whopping $26.6 million in its opening weekend and&nbsp;spent a total of&nbsp;five weeks&nbsp;as the No. 1 film at the US&nbsp;box office. To date, the movie has grossed <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0167404/?ref_=bo_se_r_1" target="_blank">close to $700 million</a> worldwide. It also received six Academy Award nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/academy-award-for-best-supporting-actor-winners/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Best Supporting Actor</a> (<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/haley-joel-osment-facts/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">Haley Joel Osment</a>), Best Supporting Actress (Toni Collette), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing.

Horror

When it comes to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horror-tv-shows-and-series/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">horror TV shows</a>, they aren't worth much if they don't <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/inexplicably-creepy-photos/christopher-shultz?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">creep you out</a> just from watching them. On the surface, horror shows are inherently creepy, but not every horror television show is creepier than the next. What makes a horror show creepy has a lot to do with the level of suspense, shock, and outright horror that unfolds on the scene. Where <a href="/list/most-exciting-horror-tv-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">exciting horror series</a> tend to trigger the &quot;fight&quot; side of the fight-or-flight response, creepy horror is all about &quot;flight.&quot; Or just hiding.Anthology series like HBO's Tales from the Crypt did a great job of scaring the crap out of the audience in some episodes, while others were creepy just for the sake of being creepy. On the other side, you have series like Hannibal, which features a villain whose creepiness makes him too scary not to love, so there is a wide range of horror series to choose from when looking for the right kind of creep factor.Which of these creepy, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-horror-shows/molly-gander?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">horror television shows</a> freak you out the most?

Located deep under the Pacific Ocean, the Mariana Trench harbors some of the most enigmatic and creepy creatures known to science. This mysterious ocean abyss stretches nearly 36,000 feet below the surface, a realm where sunlight never penetrates. It is in this murky darkness that scientists have discovered a variety of unusual animals known as Mariana Trench creatures. These Mariana Trench ocean creatures have adapted in extraordinary ways to the crushing pressure and perpetual darkness, making this underwater frontier a hotbed of biological marvels.

From bioluminescent predators to gelatinous giants, the animals in the Mariana Trench are astounding. The list of these Mariana Trench animals is as diverse as it is fascinating. Each species boasts individual adaptations that make survival in such a hostile environment possible. Some of these creatures have peculiarities like transparent skulls or mouths lined with sharp, needle-like teeth. Their unsettling appearances are only matched by their intriguing survival strategies. For instance, some Mariana Trench creatures utilize bioluminescence to lure prey, creating a ghostly glow that pierces through the eternal night of the deep ocean.

Consider the barre-leye fish, a creature that seems plucked straight from a <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-science-fiction-novels-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">science fiction novel</a>. With its transparent, fluid-filled head and upward-facing eyes, it can spot prey from below without being detected. Equally bizarre is the fanfin seadevilf, a tiny angler fish adorned with filamentous, tendril-like fins and a bioluminescent lure on its head to attract unsuspecting victims. Lastly, the granrojo jellyfish, with its red, bell-shaped body and pumping, gelatinous movements, adds an ethereal touch to the enigmatic biodiversity of the trench. These are just a few examples of the creatures that make the Mariana Trench a subject worthy of fascination.

The diversity and unusual adaptations of the Mariana Trench animals paint a captivating picture of life in the ocean&#39;s deepest chasms. These creepy creatures not only underscore the complexity and resilience of life but also highlight the continuous wonders waiting to be discovered in our planet&#39;s unexplored depths.
