Science Experts Recreated the Bread Slicer Death Scene from 'Fear Street: 1994'

"We asked ourself, would a head really do that?"

With the release of the fourth chapter of the Fear Street saga, let's find out! With its mix of ‘90’s nostalgia and classic slasher-movie gore, Fear Street: 1994 is the perfect summer confection for a certain kind of viewer. The first in a Fear Street trilogy, it’s got a banging soundtrack, including Garbage and Nine Inch Nails, and thanks to its basis in R.L. Stine’s books, it really does feel like a bloody slice of terror from the era. One feature of slasher films (and even meta-slashers like Scream) is over-the-top gore, often produced by everyday objects. Fear Street: 1994 respects that tradition, and in one of the grosser scenes in the movie, a young woman has her head pushed through an industrial bread slicer, which cuts her face into ribbons, killing her. Once you’ve gotten over the gross-out factor, you’re probably asking: Could a machine designed to cut fresh bread really do that to a human head? To answer that very specific question, Netflix conducted some scientific experiments. To prove the question once and for all, though, Netflix’s experts, Kat Echazarreta and Dominic Andre, got an industrial bread slicer.
