Behind The Scenes: Paul Tremblay & The Intimate Magic of Filmmaking

Before the lights were locked in, before the final frame was set, before Paul Tremblay sat down to deliver his hauntingly brilliant reading — there was this moment. A quiet, behind-the-scenes glimpse of FIRST WORD ON HORROR in the making.

What you see here isn’t Paul’s home, but the director’s, just outside their office, where space was limited and the camera had to be shuffled every time someone needed to step away. It’s the kind of logistical dance that happens behind every project like this — close quarters, shifting frames, and the quiet thrill of creation.

Eagle-eyed fans might spot the DVD shelf in the foreground. No, not horror. Comedy. (Because even we need a break from the nightmares.) Bonus points to anyone who can ID a title based on color alone.

And yet, despite the behind-the-scenes chaos, the finished result is something cinematic and unforgettable — see for yourself in the final shot below.

This is just the beginning. More teases, more insights, more glimpses into the darkly fascinating world of FIRST WORD ON HORROR are on the way. Stay tuned.
