There's a reason. The temperature only drops when ghosts get upset.

▲Throughout the film, Bruce Willis' character only wears clothes he either wore or touched the night before his death, including his coat, blue crew neck sweatshirt, and the different layers of his suit.

▲Aside from delivering an exceptional audition, Osment also wore a tie to his initial test, which impressed director M. Night Shyamalan. That's when the director knew he was the right actor for the role.

▲Both Osment and Donnie Wahlberg (who plays Vincent Grey) have patches of white hair. Shyamalan determined that all “spirit spotters” should have one similar physical attribute.

▲Osment stayed up the night before to read the entire script three times. When he told Shyamalan, the director asked if he meant he'd read his part three times, he said, "No, I read the script three times."

▲During filming, the actress said she would always wake up in the middle of the night at a repeated-digit time, like 1:11 am, 3:33 am, or 4:44 am.

▲When Cole says his famous line, the camera does a closeup on Malcolm's face, which the director considered eliminating because he thought it was too big of a clue about the fact that he was dead. But no one during the test screenings caught it, so he left it.

▲The 'O.C.' actress played Kyra Collins, a girl killed by her mother. One of the actress' friends left the theater in tears during her scene, believing Barton had actually died.

▲Throughout the film, he uses his right hand to keep the audience from noticing he wasn't wearing his wedding band.

▲A few years before 'The Sixth Sense,' the actor was supposed to star and produce another Disney film, the 'Broadway Brawler.' But Willis fired most of the crew, including the director, less than three weeks into production, costing the studio US$17.5 million.

▲The actress has said she felt so moved by the emotional aspect of the movie that she didn't realize it was actually a horror film until after its release.

▲Throughout the film, Bruce Willis' character never actually touches anything, except for the Latin dictionary, and doesn't interact with anyone aside from Cole.

▲The scene involved Cole looking out of a window and seeing a whole hospital wing filled with disfigured and mutilated people.

▲In the writer's own words: "And this year's 'Touched by an Angel' award for gaggingly mawkish supernatural kitsch goes to Bruce Willis's newest film, 'The Sixth Sense.'"

Over 20 years have passed since M. Night Shyamalan's film 'The Sixth Sense' hit the screens, and even now the movie still holds a special place in our hearts.

Here are some fascinating facts about his Oscar-nominated hit.

▲Osment told Syfy Wire that the scene toward the end where he and Collette are in the car was one of the most difficult to film. "It was raining, we were in a car and I remember being kind of rushed on that one and the tone of the scene is really delicate."

▲He says he was somewhat desensitized during filming and that he never had nightmares or anything of the sort.

▲The film is based on an episode from the Canadian horror/fantasy TV show titled 'The Tale of the Dream Girl' (1994), in which the leading character continues to be ignored by everyone until he (and the audience) finds out he's dead.

▲Osment's father is a theater and film actor and was really serious about his son's career. So much so that he told Willis to yell at Osment to make him cry when he couldn’t manage. Willis complied and it worked.

▲The voice on the tape Malcolm listens to is in Spanish. It says: "Please, I don't want to die Lord, save me, save me."

▲Cera read the lines from the scene when Malcolm Crowe tells Cole he can't be his doctor anymore. Cera said his rendition was upbeat because he auditioned without knowing the movie was supposed to be dark.

▲The director hails from a family of doctors, so he cast himself as Dr. Hill in the film. His scene was originally much longer, but he thought he was terrible and trimmed it way back.

▲The founding member of the boy band New Kids on the Block wanted to show he was serious about pursuing an acting career.

▲The actor from 'Road to Perdition' (2002) and 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events' (2004) turned it down because his mother thought the movie was too dark.

▲'The Sixth Sense' was nominated for Best Picture. The only other horror films to achieve the same feat are 'The Exorcist' (1973), 'Jaws' (1975), 'Silence of the Lambs' (1991), 'Black Swan' (2011), and 'Get Out' (2017).

▲To make up for the loss, Willis signed a three-film agreement in which part of his salary would go back to the studio. The other two films were 'Armageddon' (1998) and 'The Kid' (2000).

▲Shyamalan got the idea for 'The Sixth Sense' around the time of the release of 'Casper' in 1995, which almost made him give the whole thing up, thinking another ghost movie wouldn't fare well.

▲'The Sixth Sense' was released August 6, which is also the director's birthday. He took as a good sign—and he was right. The film went on to make more than US$8 million on its opening day. It's pretty safe to say The New York Times got it wrong.

▲In the creepy scene where she throws up in Cole's tent, she's throwing up breakfast cereal mix that she would hold in her mouth and spit up.

▲

The finalists were Collette and Tomei, but Collette almost backed out because she had her mind set on a role in Martin Scorsese’s 'Bringing Out the Dead.'
