While the hero holder of Buffy The Vampire Slayer is an expert to mark the vamps, that does not mean that they do never do it. For example, the episode of season 1 “Nightmares” confirmed that Buffy’s greatest fear was buried by the master, a kind of Archvampire and the first big bad guy of the show. Although all fans know this memorable episode, most of them do not realize that Buffy Actor Sarah Michelle Gellar shares the greatest fear of her character to be buried alive.
The biggest fear of Buffy and Sarah
We know Gellar fears thanks to an interview from 1998 with Roller where she developed “nightmares”. According to the Buffy Star, she shares the greatest fear of her character because she has irrationally frightened “cemeteries and to be buried alive”. In fact, she even tried to manage in the shooting of the scene with the master, but thanks to “Mandicommunization”, she ended up shooting this story anyway and revolution of her old trauma.
In the words of BuffyThe main actor, she had to experience the greatest fear of her character because her initial objection to the producer “Never Got Relayed”, perhaps because of the end they were shooting. As Gellar remembers, it was “four in the morning, and” they essentially made me do it “. Unlike the characters of “Nightmares”, facing his own fear, the actor conquer him … Instead, she “was hysterical” during the shooting and now looks back with this infamous shooting.
If you are a long -standing fan of the show, you know that this series has a lot of waterfalls and other dangerous moments that could instantly ruin the day of an actor (otherwise their life) if something is wrong. Despite this, however, Gellar remembers that as “one of the most difficult things I have ever done for my work, never”. She may have the biggest fear of Buffy, but the fact that Gellar has succeeded in filming and made the scene so convincing is proof that she also has the courage of the Slayer in the face of adversity.
How difficult it was for Sarah Michelle Gellar To give life to the biggest fear of Buffy? She noted that she had “cried all the way back” on the “horrible” experience, but the actor has always maintained a sense of humor on this heartbreaking story. “It’s really difficult to be a vampire killer if you are afraid of cemeteries,” she said.
Another way in which Gellar has maintained its sense of humor about all of this is by contrasting with some of the more frightening fans of its program. As she pointed out, “some people find cemeteries”, so much so that they “love sex in cemeteries”. However, this whole scene was his own nightmare who came reality because he combined his two greatest phobias: cemeteries And be buried alive.
Interesting, Buffy the vampire SlayeR never really returned to the biggest fear of the character. During the following seasons, we would see the character of Gellar in front of a giant snake, a cyborg, a god. Heck, we see her keep an apocalypse after the others tear the whole world. But Buffy herself is rarely buried alive as in “nightmares” … Unfortunately, the character do Spend a lot of time in cemeteries, which means that Gellar had to continue to face at least one of its biggest fears regularly.
Knowing that BuffyThe actor of sharing the greatest fear of the character gives honestly “nightmares” a little more resonance. It was already one of the best episodes of season 1 of the show, but knowing that he forced Gellar to fight his own fears gave us new respect for one of the biggest players in Hollywood. As for us, we are not so afraid of being buried alive because we share the biggest fear of Xander: the clowns of killers.
