Sarah’s fear of graveyards

40.jpg

When Sarah Michelle Gellar started filming Buffy, she had a fear of graveyards and being buried alive, which is ironic seeing as her character was buried alive twice in the show (1.10 Nightmares and Bargaining, Part One), and spends most of her evenings in graveyards. The crew built their own mock graveyard in the car park of the Buffy lot for season two. In an interview on British TV (shown on SKY One) with Richard Blackwood, Sarah Michelle Gellar called herself a “puss” because of her fear.

    Here’s her commentary about that scene, it’s from an online interview you can find here : SMG interview

    I told the producer, ‘Look, I can’t do it, I’m sorry.’ Through mis-communication, the message never got relayed and it was four in the morning and they basically made me do it. I was hysterical. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done for my job, ever. Some people find cemeteries a turn-on. Not me. I cried the whole way home. It was horrible! It’s really hard to be a vampire slayer if you’re scared of cemeteries…
