The silver screen Presents us with a glass cage from which To see A created world everything within is Fabricated but we suspend disbelief to Be entertained Detached we are safe from these Fictionalized events Yet there are movies which are claimed To have transcended their sets In order to afflict their creators Everyone from actors producers writers Special effects designers and their Acquaintances Some films are even said to be so cursed That they never made it to the screen With that in mind here are five of the Most cursed Movies of all time The classic american movie rebel without A cause was released in 1955 Centering on the antics of emotionally Confused middle-class suburban teenagers It has been heralded as one of the Greatest films of all time However some claim that the movie’s Legacy is not just Cultural but deadly too many of the Film’s actors went on to die Before the age of 45 under mysterious Circumstances James dean the lead actor and cultural Icon Met his end only a month before the
Film’s release On the 30th of september 1955 the 24 Year old was driving his newly purchased Porsche 550 spider the car crashed Head-on with another vehicle And dean sustained numerous fatal Injuries Despite there being others involved in The collision dean was the only one to Perish The driver of the other car walked away Unharmed Save for a minor scratch on his nose That Combined with the fact that dean was an Experienced race car driver Led some to wonder how his accident Could have happened Very soon after the incident rumors of a Curse began to circulate Another to pass away before his time was Nick adams A personal friend of dean and an actor In the film In 1968 at the age of 36 He was found slumped against a wall in His beverly hills home The details were unclear the most Prevalent explanation was that of a Fatal combination of drugs Others however have suggested adam’s end Was more sinister Speculating that a crime may have been Committed
The sinister circumstances surrounding The next to perish were not debatable Sal mineo who starred as plato in rebel Without a cause Had his life stolen aged 37 when an Assailant attacked him In 1976. the attacker was found and Sentenced His motive for the attack unclear in 1981 natalie wood Dean’s love interest in the film drowned Off catalina island california Many of the circumstances of the case Were mysterious With an autopsy revealing several Inexplicable Injuries a series of tragic deaths that Many saw as somehow being connected To the 1955 movie when the film Premiered a month after james dean’s Passing It had an enigmatic aura and quickly Became a classic In the years afterwards everything dean Had owned or Touched seemed to become imbued with Magic As though they were sacred relics even The car he crashed in became legendary With many believing it to be cursed Independent of Or even perhaps because of its Connection to the movie via dean Fires crashes and mysterious injuries
Became synonymous with dean’s porsche For all of this there are those who Dismiss these tragedies as coincidence After all some of the film’s other Actors lived well past 45 including dennis hopper and corey Allen Yet one can never be certain of Coincidence being Meaningless it may be that there was Something about this seemingly innocuous Film That cursed its protagonists to die Before that time The poltergeist film franchise’s curse Is alleged to have claimed four Lives the original 1982 movie Follows the freeling family and their Daughter carol Who move into a new house which is Infested by spirits What follows is a struggle to save carol From evil entities Attempting to abduct her and take her to Their dimension it is said that the Curse can be traced back to production With strange things allegedly occurring On set In one scene a mechanism on a toy clown Was supposed to wrap its arms loosely Around a young actor Giving the appearance of strangulation Terrifyingly Something happened which caused the toy
To start Actually strangling the boy actor What happened on set however was nothing Compared to the horrors that happened Off it dominique dunn the actor who Played carol’s elder sister in the film Passed away shortly after poltergeist Was released After her boyfriend attacked her julian Beck Who played a cult leader in the sequel Lost his battle with stomach cancer in 1985 And was unable to see the film released Then there was the tragic end of will Samson in 1987 Who played the friendly character of Taylor in poltergeist Ii the other side however the most Tragic end of all Attributed to the curse is that of the Child actor heather o’rourke Who played carol she did not live to see The third film completed Passing away of an undiagnosed illness At the tender age of 12. Director gary sherman has stated that he And the crew Felt such a tragic burden after Heather’s passing that they had wanted To stop production of the third Poltergeist Film he was however forced to finish Production
And make a new ending without her which Even he described as stupid To those who believed that the Poltergeist movies were cursed the Botched ending to the franchise Can be seen as its ultimate triumph On the other side many simply see Misfortune at the center of these tragic Events Will samson had been suffering from a Chronic degenerative disease for a while And beck had been battling against Cancer for a couple of years Heather’s passing can likewise be Attributed to plain earthly tragedy The mistakes of doctors which predated The franchise Yet there are still many who see the Timings of these tragedies as being Linked to the film One popular theory surrounding this is The belief that real skeletons Were used as props at the end of the First poltergeist movie And that such unholy desecration brought A curse Upon the franchise indeed in an Interview in 2008 Jo beth williams who played diane Freeling in the film Stated that she had assumed the skeleton She would be interacting with were made Out of plastic or rubber Too late she found that they were real
Skeletons That the production had acquired because It was too expensive To make fake ones bruce cassin The film’s assistant prop master Corroborated williams by stating That the skeletons came from carolina Biological And at the time were mainly used by Medical students With this in mind it could be said that Short-term Financial solutions cost the crew far More than money in the long term In 2013 a silent film called return to Babylon was released It showcased many of the scandals and Tragedies that occurred during Hollywood’s early years According to filmmaker alex monty Kanawati It all started with an incredible Coincidence As kanawati was talking with his Producer about making a silent film They found a bag of black and white Factory sealed film On hollywood boulevard they decided to Use This stock of film and began to Experience paranormal Phenomena jennifer tilly one of the Leading actors Reported feeling the presence of ghosts
Claiming that they were touching her Strange images were also Claimed to have been captured by the Still photographer on set Not only that the strange happenings That occurred on set Refused to stay on set and transferred Into the film Itself it is sad that bizarre images can Be seen in the movie With actors faces mysteriously morphing Kanawati is said to have commented that Morphing does not happen spontaneously Emphasizing that he did not add any Special effects to the film It is claimed that the movie has been Studied by countless psychics and Mediums Who have concluded that it is haunted by A number of spirits and ghosts Including some of the great actors of Early hollywood Such as lon chaney for all of this many Have criticized these paranormal Allegations As merely being a marketing ploy the Filmmaker however has stood By his claims stating that the proof Lies in the film Itself for the morphing and other Bizarre images Are on the original negative even so he Dismisses the suggestion that the Fortuitous finding of the film reels was
Paranormal And may have instigated the so-called Curse According to his testimony they were Found by a parking meter Someone having simply forgot the film as They were packing or unpacking their Production equipment The film has since been studied by the Brooks institute of photography Their results being inconclusive no Explanation for the mysterious images Could be ascertained it is easy to Dismiss these claims as the fabrication Of a desperate filmmaker Financial incentive being an obvious Reason for hoax The finding of the reels on the pavement Make these claims seem All the more incredulous however just Because something Sounds too extraordinary to be true does Not Mean it isn’t it may be that the Filmmaker’s attempt To bring the dead sturdy laundry to Light in his film Attracted their spirit’s attention and Cursed the very reels Of their undoing The omen is a classic horror movie that Has more than its fair share of Real-life Terror attached to it the film is about
A boy called damien Who after a series of mysterious Happenings and violent Events is revealed to be the antichrist Robert munger the film’s religious Advisor and the man who had the idea for The omen Is reported as having said if the Devil’s greatest single weapon Is to be invisible and you’re going to Do something which is going to take away His invisibility to millions of people He’s not going to want that to happen And certainly if reports are to be Believed It seems as though the devil did not Want the movie to happen Knowing that only bad might come from The film manga pursued the idea with Missionary zeal Wanting people to know what the bible Said about the antichrist As early as october 1975 At the start of filming the devil showed His displeasure When the lead actor gregory peck was on His way to the uk To begin filming his plane was struck by Lightning And was very nearly sent to the bottom Of the ocean one of the plane’s engines Having caught fire Weeks later the producer was flying Across the atlantic when his plane was
Similarly struck And as if lightning striking twice Wasn’t enough for lucifer The screenwriter’s plane was also hit by A bolt On a separate occasion and the producer Was nearly struck by lightning Whilst filming in rome lightning was not The only weapon Employed by the curse incendiaries it is Claimed Were also used the hilton hotel in London Where some of the crew were staying was Blown up as was the restaurant where They planned to eat The near misses did not end there a Small jet that was hired by the Production company was changed last Minute To accommodate a chinese trade Delegation the plane Experienced a bird strike and crashed Into the car that held the family of the Pilot Six lives were lost that day Of course one could see the inverse of These near misses Rather than being cursed the film’s Production team Experienced an extraordinary degree of Good luck Not everyone however can be said to have Been so lucky
During filming at windsor safari park The car the actors were in did Actually stall and were indeed attacked By primates at the park This terrifying and real scene is the One Shown in the film in addition to this After filming finished at the park One of the animal handlers that worked There was fatally attacked By a resident big cat then there was the Horrific event That happened to the special effects Designer john richardson He is said to have designed the scene in The film where one of the characters was Decapitated Reality imitated fiction during a car Accident in the netherlands Richardson walked away but his passenger Did not Having met a similarly gruesome end to The one depicted in the film Not only did this happen in the same Year that the omen was released It supposedly occurred near a road sign That pointed to the city Of omen such a happening seems too Chilling to be coincidental indeed it is Astonishing to see a film Surrounded by so many tragedies some Like hector avalos a professor of Religious studies Has stated that the film was trying to
Make the devil visible And so that’s why satan was trying to Stop the film From being made Sometimes a film is thought to be so Cursed that it does not even make it to Theaters A tuck is said to be one such movie The film’s premise was supposed to be That of an alaskan inuit Who moves to new york city and quickly Becomes corrupted It is based on a 1963 satirical novel Called the incomparable attack the story Seems innocent enough Being planned to be a comedy and far Removed from anything Supernatural yet it is thought that the Movie became precisely that A supernatural thing in its own right With a curse attached to it so Strongly that it prevented anyone from Completing it The first actor approached for the lead Role was john belushi Whether he signed on to the role is Unclear but he was Seriously interested in the film on the 5th of march 1982 Only a short time after being approached He perished After being given a toxic cocktail of Drugs Sam kinnison was the next actor chosen
