    Movies with a 'curse' on them Empty Movies with a 'curse' on them

    You hear about movies like Superman and Poltergeist where misfortune and death seem to plague several of the people involved, but consider this list from the IMDb of misfortune that befell the cast and crew for The Omen (1976):

    Having changed its title from "The Antichrist" to "The Birthmark," the film seemed to fall victim to a sinister curse. Star Gregory Peck and screenwriter David Seltzer took separate planes to the UK...yet BOTH planes were struck by lightning. While producer Harvey Bernhard was in Rome, lightning just missed him. Rottweilers hired for the film attacked their trainers. A hotel at which director Richard Donner was staying got bombed by the IRA; he was also struck by a car. After Peck canceled another flight, to Israel, the plane he would have chartered crashed...killing all on board. On day one of the shoot, several principal members of the crew survived a head-on car crash. The jinx appeared to persist well into post-production... when special effects artist John Richardson was injured and his girlfriend beheaded in an accident on the set of A Bridge Too Far.




    And nobody ever talks about this movie being cursed, isn't that odd?

    I have always thought the "movie curse" was an interesting topic. While it is interesting, a movie is a "job site" so-to-speak, so if you get enough of said "job sites" you will find a small sample seemingly plagued by a "curse."

    Didn't this curse start with the original Wizard of Oz? The main charactyers all died of some tragic diesease and then there was Judy Garland--do you think if Judy was from NJ she could have gotten the flag at half-mast?

    Ah, you mean do an objective study instead of a limited subjective one. Blue Cool

    Can't say I believe in "curses" but there are some interesting coincidences.
