When we were filming it, I kept showing off to everyone, saying I never get scared of ghosts. There was a scene where I was possessed and had to climb a 50-foot pillar, and I watched lizard and reptile videos to get inspired by their body language. That night, I had a nightmare \u2014 of turning into a lizard with scales \u2014 it was so real!
