Cate’s disgusting experience on set

Actress Cate Blanchett says she had a disgusting yet fabulous experience while shooting for gothic fantasy-based thriller The House with a Clock In Its Walls.

Actor Jack Black, who plays a magician in the film, had several pumpkins spewed on his face for an important sequence in the film. Director Eli Roth felt that having pumpkins in a sequence would help create the spooky ambience.

“Watching Jack take a face full of pumpkin was one of the highlights of my career. I have never been so happy,” Roth said in a statement.

To this, Blanchett added: “Probably one of the more disgusting yet fabulous experiences I have had as an actor was the spewing of the pumpkin.”

Based on the children’s classic written by John Bellairs and illustrated by Edward Gorey, the film is written by Eric Kripke.
