Dexter

For eight seasons, Dexter fans followed a serial slayer whose conflicted values made him an antihero. With all the&nbsp;blood&nbsp;and body parts&nbsp;on screen, viewers can imagine that things were pretty gory&nbsp;behind the scenes of Dexter. But just how gory things got would probably shock even the most hardened crime show watchers.&nbsp;For one particularly gruesome scene in season five, prop master Joshua Meltzer went for the real thing, incorporating real maggots and flies into one of the show's signature crime scenes. "Anytime a prop master can pick up a phone and call an animal trainer and say, 'I need 20,000 maggots' -&nbsp;that's a good day," Meltzer said of the effect.That's just one of the many ghoulish behind-the-scenes details that help make Dexter one of the best crime shows ever. Check out some of the other awesome set stories below.

Casino Royale was a massive success, grossing $594 million worldwide and earning positive reviews from critics.Craig went on to star in four more James Bond films, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time to Die, before ultimately hanging up his suit as the secret agent. Over his tenure as Bond, Craig starred in five films, earning nominations for several awards and grossing a total of $3.5 billion worldwide.&nbsp;This list ranks Daniel Craig James Bond movies.
