Finn Wolfhard, best known for his role as Mike Wheeler in the hit Netflix show Stranger Things, has also made a name for himself in the horror genre with his role as Richie Tozier in the 2017 film It. However, it seems that the scares he faced on set weren't just limited to the world of Pennywise the clown.
In a recent interview, the now 21-year-old actor shared a chilling encounter he and his co-stars had while filming in a creepy old mansion. Despite his experience with supernatural themes in his work, Finn had never encountered a ghost before this incident.
He and the rest of the cast were exploring the abandoned mansion when they came across a man in black doing electrician work. Assuming he was just a crew member, they didn't think much of it until they later found out that no one on set knew who the man was and that no one had seen him again.
Although it could have been someone playing a prank, Finn admitted that it was a pretty scary experience. But this wasn't the only horror he faced while filming It. The movie, based on the Stephen King novel, follows a group of friends as they try to survive the terrors of a demonic entity known as Pennywise in 1989.
But Finn is no stranger to spooky roles. He also appeared in the supernatural films Ghostbusters: Afterlife and its 2024 sequel Frozen Empire. And of course, he continues to thrill audiences as Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things, which is currently in its fifth and final season.
Alongside his co-stars Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, and Caleb McClaughlin, Finn has grown up on the show as they all came of age in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. The popular series, set in the 1980s, follows these young characters as they battle against a hostile dimension known as the Upside Down.
Filming for the final season of Stranger Things began late last year, with a release date set for 2025. And it was recently announced that acclaimed director Frank Darabont, known for his work on Stephen King adaptations, will be directing two episodes of the final season.
Darabont, who has been in retirement for 11 years, was drawn back to directing by the heart and positivity of the show. He explained in an interview that he and his wife are big fans of Stranger Things and were excited for the opportunity to work on it.
Stranger Things continues to be a hit among fans and the new season is highly anticipated. But for Finn, it seems that his supernatural encounters on set will always make for a good story.
