Some accidents can happen in this world, and Hollywood is not spared
from those events. However, people tend to find the connection between these
unfortunate events when one thing happens after another. Most of the accidents occurred
during the filming stage, making everyone believe that the film might be
cursed.
Top 5 Cursed Movies
When there are high numbers of freaky accidents that happen on the set, and if there are unusual deaths, people will likely connect it to a curse. Here are some of the cursed movies that were filmed.
1. The Omen
Perhaps, nothing in the movie history can be compared to the bad luck of
The Omen. While filming the movie, the plane of the film scriptwriter, David
Seltzer, was struck by lightning. Surprisingly, the plane of Gregory Peck and Mace
Neufeld was also struck by lightning. After that, the hotel where Neufeld was
staying was bombed by IRA. Incidentally, this is also the restaurant and the
hotel that the director and the actors are scheduled to eat. John Richardson, staff
responsible for special effects, crashed his car on August 13, 1976. His
assistant was sliced by the front wheel of the vehicle. After he successfully
escaped the wreckage, he noticed a road sign that said Ommen-66.6km. The
handler of the tiger dies, the son of Gregory Peck committed suicide. The plane
supposedly used for the film has crashed, killing everyone on board.
2. Poltergeist
Poltergeist is also considered one of the most cursed films in history.
Months after the film was released, Dominique Dunne was found dead; her
boyfriend murdered her at 22. The actor who played the role of Henry Kane,
Julian Beck, succumbed to stomach cancer in 1985. Will Sampson of Poltergeist
II also died in 1985 due to kidney failure. Perhaps, the eeriest death would be
the death of Heather O'Rourke. She was filming the movie's last scene when she
was rushed to the hospital and died at the operating table.
3. Atuk
Compared to the other films in this list, this is the only movie that
has not been completed. This is because everyone who takes the lead role has
mysteriously died; John Candy, Chris Farley, Sam Kinison, and John Belushi.
4. Rosemary's Baby
After one year of completing the film, the composer of the film died due
to a blood clot which is incidentally the same death of the character in the
movie. William Castle, the movie producer, is convinced that the film is
cursed. One year after the film was commercially released, the family of Roman
Polanski was slaughtered by the follower of Charles Manson.
5. Exorcist
At least ten people related in the production died shortly after the
film was released. This includes Burke Dennings and Jack MacGowran. The set
used for the MacNeil house has burned down due to a mysterious fire, but the
room used by Linda Blair remained untouched. The church near the theatre where
the film premiered was hit by lightning causing its cross to drop.
Though we do not believe in the curse, the uncommon number of deaths in
a single production is quite unusual.
