Something that is a bit of a no brainer but that I hadn't seen confirmed ever is that Doug Jones is in the film!

He apparently plays multiple ghosts, two of which we've seen in the trailers already.

Doug Jones does something very specific but he's pretty much the absolute best at it.

Doug Jones said:
Oh gosh, this has been a long time coming because I actually filmed my bits for Crimson Peak back in 2014. So, yeah, it’s been a while. I had to be as hush hush as possible about it then. I told Guillermo del Toro when I was leaving, when I had wrapped up my bits for Crimson Peak, “I’m gonna be doing an awful lot of interviews! Between now and the opening of this movie I’m in many other things.” He said, “Well, umm, tell them it’s a haunted house story and what the ‘ef’ do they think you played?” So, okay, there’s your answer!



But now that the trailer has come out, you’ve seen me a couple times in the trailer, so I can tell you… I am a couple of lady ghosts in this movie. Now, I say lady ghosts because my friend Javier Botet, another tall skinny man, also plays a lady ghost in this movie. I will not tell you why they’re lady ghosts but the house, the mansion, Crimson Peak, is haunted. That’s why Mia Wasikowska is brought into the storyline. Well, it’s her story. We follow her from Buffalo, New York, all the way to England where she marries Tom Hiddleston. Tom Hiddleston’s sister, Jessica Chasten, turns out to be a bit of an odd relationship that is sort of threatening the marriage of Mia and Tom. It’s a great personal, emotional, relationship set up. All the while it takes place in this house which is another character in the movie for sure. There’s another side love interest you’ll see, with Charlie Hunnam from Sons of Anarchy.



It’s an amazing cast so my bid in this is, yeah, you can see me in the trailers as the bathtub ghost. I’m the dark reddish looking ghost in the bathtub. That’s a very pivotal scene in the movie. Another scene, you’ll see my dark hands coming through a door reaching for Mia and at the very end of the trailer I think you’ll see my hands come around the shoulder of a little girl which will be Mia as a younger girl. What do ghosts do? Are they trying to move on to the next dimension? Are they trying to heed warning? Are they trying to get revenge? What do they want? You can ask yourself all those questions, for people who do believe that ghosts exist, why do they exist? Why are the lingering around? All of those will be addressed in this movie.

Jones mentions Javier Botet as another ghost actor. Botet worked on the film Mama, which was was produced by del Toro.

Mondo is putting out some Crimson Peak posters at Comicon.

These are cool but its always odd to me that these kinds of great posters are only for collectors instead of being theatrical posters.

from Guy Davis. This one in particular would catch a lot of people's eyes at the theater.

From Daniel Danger.

Mondo should design every poster ever. Their **** always looks amazing!
 
What I always thought was ridiculous was that both Hellboy films got Struzan posters. The posters for the first film were never released at all. The posters for the second film were given away at comicon.

Especially when the money has already been spent to produce the poster, why not use it?

Struzan also did art for Pan's Labyrinth which was only used as coverart for the soundtrack. Fun fact, if you watch the tour of del Toro house on the the Cronos criterion dvd you can see this hanging above one of his staircases meaning like many of the things he takes home, del Toro payed for it out of pocket rather than having it paid for by the studio.

Guillermo del Toro discusses post production on Crimson Peak.

He has been very involved in continuing to edit and rework the film throughout test screenings with different audiences (I guess that's how King and Joe Hill saw the film)

Apparently he has shortened the film by 20 minutes.
 
The poster is completely ruined by the obviously photoshopped heads.

This is such an annoying trend.
