Weapons Director Reveals Real Life Inspirations for Aunt Gladys’ Magic (You Can Find Them Easily)

When *Weapons* hit theaters, I, like a lot of horror fans, was instantly captivated by Amy Madigan’s character, Aunt Gladys. She was such a strange and unexpected villain! The filmmakers kept her completely hidden in the trailers and posters, so every time she showed up on screen, it was genuinely shocking. I recently read an interview with the director, Cregger, where he talked a lot about Aunt Gladys. He shared some behind-the-scenes stories about working with Amy Madigan and even explained where the idea for her unique abilities came from. It was really fascinating!
