Then there were the bloody noses. Yes. Plural. Grace was the first one to tell me about hers.
"So, before the set blessing [Editor's note: more on set blessings here.], Madison, Katie, and I were all on set together after booking the jobs. They had to turn off the lights for some reason to test something or whatnot. And then whenever the lights came back on, I just had this stream of blood coming out of my nose. And then I wiped it, and I had blood all over my hands. And it only stopped bleeding after I walked out of the stage, because the restroom is outside."
Michael Cimino, who plays Mary Ellen's friend Bob, also had a bloody nose at one point. "There was one day that I got a really bad bloody nose before I came to set," he told me. "Later on that day, we found out there was supposed to be a set blessing, and they didn't wind up doing it. So it was weird." Sounds pretty normal, I know, but Cimino told me this doesn't happen to him. "I never have bloody noses. And so I had a bloody nose while I was in the shower . . . it was weird."
