For the blood geyser sequence where Glen (
Johnny Depp
) is killed, the filmmakers used the same revolving room set that was used for Tinas death. They put the set so that it was upside down and attached the camera so that it looked like the room was right side up, then they poured gallons of red water (normal movie blood couldnt create the right effect for the geyser) into the room by pumping it down through the bed. The room itself was to be turned as the blood flowed, but it was turned in the wrong direction so instead of the blood gushing out of the bed and then splashing down the walls, the blood gushed out of the bed and out of the room through the open door where the camera and equipment was, with exposed wires and electrical sockets. The power on the set went, but no one was injured. On the DVD commentary,

remarks that the room spinning the wrong way was like a "Ferris Wheel from hell." The blood was water mixed with food coloring. The scene was partly inspired by the elevator scene in
