There's a well-known story that Coppola ambushed and "punked" actor John Marley by not telling him about the horse's head before he peeled back the covers on his bed and saw it for the first time; and that Marley's screaming in that scene was real. (This story has been perpetuated by John Marley, and various other people on the crew and in the film's PR department. But not Coppola interestingly! ) The problem with that story is that the scene is a series of shots; taken at the same angle but from different distances; a close up; followed by a medium shot, followed by a long shot. Each one of these shots would have had to take a half an hour to an hour to set up and then take. And the scream is recorded echoing through all these shots. Which means the screams could not all have been real. The first one might have been as the urban legend goes; but the next three had to be planned, they could not have been spontaneous. This was likely a story spread mostly by the PR department to generate interest in the movie (kind of like the Omen Curse stories; or the story about the Blair Witch Project being true, which were all equally false and fabricated to generate interest in those movies).
