One of the most famous movie directors was involved in the death of a legendary actor and two children on his set. In the early 1980s, hot off the heels of several hit movies, director John Landis was hired to direct a segment from the Twilight Zone movie being produced by Steven Spielberg. After a series of shady decisions - most of them illegal, Landis ended up directing a scene at 2:30 AM featuring an actor, two small children, a bunch of fake rain and explosions, and an actual helicopter. The night would end in tragedy. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we take a look at the shocking deaths on the set of the Twilight Zone movie.
