Ouija boards may or may not be our entryway to communicating with the dead, but Elizabeth Reaser says filming the latest movie based around the mysterious game gave her a rather haunting experience.
Playing widowed mother and fake séance holder Alice Zander in the upcoming Ouija: Origin of Evil movie (out Oct. 21), Reaser says that there were times filming that were "psychologically terrifying" that affected her day-to-day life. She explains:
"We shot in this very creepy house in Highland Park, Los Angeles; a very old, weird house. Whenever I went home, I would take an Ativan because I cannot sleep. Whenever you do a movie or play, it becomes a mantra unconsciously of what you're dealing with. I'm not saying I was a crazy person, but you can't pretend to do that all day long and then go home and not be nervous walking around your house!"
