The Pale Man sequence in Pan's Labyrinth, one of the most iconic monster movie moments ever put to screen, would have looked very different if Guillermo del Toro had a bigger budget. Compared to the $66 million budget Guillermo del Toro had to make Hellboy, the $18 million allotted for his 2006 follow-up, the dark fantasy masterpiece Pan's Labyrinth, was a pittance. Take, for instance, the iconic scene where Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) enters the lair of the child-eating monster known only as the Pale Man (Doug Jones). In one meeting with del Toro, Martí was asked to close his eyes and try to find the director. We could have had a very, very bad time and lost more money on a creature that would not be as iconic as the Pale Man."
