You can get a case of the willies after watching certain movies. Some movies are more curseful than others, but these four stand out for their supernatural potential. If you’ve ever watched The Exorcist or The Conqueror, you know the horror they can wreak on you. Watch them anyway – you can’t help but get frightened afterward. Or perhaps you’re just a wimp who can’t get enough scary movies.
The Exorcist
The 1973 horror film “The Exorcist” is considered a curse for the people who view it. Its story is about a girl who is taken by a demonic spirit and the mother and two priests attempt to save her. Many horror fans have declared the film a curse and have never looked back. It was produced by Warner Bros. and Hoya Productions. In the film, the demonic spirits are portrayed as possessed by evil spirits.
It’s been said that the sounds of bees in the film trigger an innate fear response in most people. This reaction is similar to the one triggered by the sound of lightning striking a church. The sound of industrial machinery can also cause people to shy away from danger. People say that the sound of a bee in the film is a curse, but Friedkin believes there might be some truth to it.
The fire destroyed most of the set, but only part of the exorcism scene survived the fire. As a result, Ellen Burstyn suffered a spinal injury while being hoisted on a harness. During an interview in 2018, she recalled the accident, telling director Bill Friedkin that a crew member had pulled too hard. The scene had been shot in an open field in the middle of the night.
According to Wikipedia, the exorcism was performed by Father William Bowdern on a young man in 1949. A year later, a Georgetown University student named William Peter Blatty studied the subject and wrote a paper on it. The two priests reportedly performed the exorcism, with the help of another priest, William Halloran. The movie’s success has led to its sequel, The Exorcist.
The Conqueror
While the 1956 movie “The Conqueror” was a hit, it was controversial in other ways. Its location, near the Nevada Test Site, is considered a probable cause of the movie’s curse. That’s because the test site exploded 11 atomic bombs a year before the movie was made. Because of the location, wind-driven fallout piled up in the canyons of Utah, caked the cast and crew in dust. Even the film’s director, Howard Hughes, shipped 60 tons of radioactive dirt to the RKO studios for reshoots.
There is another myth associated with the movie, that The Conqueror is the curse of the Antichrist. John Wayne’s character, Genghis Khan, grew up to become the Antichrist. But that notion has never been confirmed, and we’re still left to speculate whether the film was actually responsible for the deaths of many cast members. As a matter of fact, there’s no conclusive proof that radiation is the cause of the bad box office performance.
The Omen
The movie “The Omen” has a reputation for mysterious accidents. For example, one of the movie’s stars, Jonathan Peck, committed suicide two months before filming began. Other productions have been plagued by violent explosions and plane crashes. A number of cast members of the film have been victims of this curse. This article will look at some of the strange happenings on the set of “The Omen.”
“The Omen” was a horror film that was released in 1976. The film’s star cast included Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Harvey Spencer Stephens, and Billie Whitelaw. The film was a box office success, riding on the coattails of similar films at the time, including “The Exorcist” and “Rosemary’s Baby.” Although the movie was based on true events, its cast was exposed to the same curse that plagued the film’s cast.
It’s unclear what causes this curse, but some people believe that The Omen has a demonic presence. The film’s producers could have warned of the potential of hauntings during filming, but the curses of The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby gave The Omen a desired audience. However, the cursed film may have been a coincidence. While this is speculation, The Omen is a classic that should be seen by horror fans.
Despite the movie’s dark and sinister nature, “The Omen” is a classic example of a horror movie with supernatural elements. Its cast of actors portrayed demons and the Devil himself was surprisingly realistic. The film’s onscreen death bled over into the film set. Neither Stephens nor Remick were able to escape the Devil’s invisible wrath. It’s possible, however, that the film’s demons were real or fictional.
The Wizard of Oz
The storyline of The Wizard of Oz can spell trouble for you. Originally conceived as a fantasy, this classic story features a series of bizarre events that have been known to occur during the production of the film. Winged monkeys, for example, were thrown from wires and died after being shot years later. In the years since, many more hapless monkeys have fallen from the wires. In addition to the storyline, many films have been cursed by the movie industry.
A classic version of the story features the Tin Man, played by Ne-Yo. Originally a human, the Tin Man had a secret – he was once a man. However, the Wicked Witch of the East had fallen in love with another girl and was jealous of the Tin Man’s attraction to Bertha. After the two were seen kissing, she cast a spell on Tin Man, turning him into metal.
The story begins with Dorothy traveling to the Emerald City of Oz. But this city is no medieval Ruritania or Istanbul-style domes. Instead, the city is an industrialized modernist sprawl of neon-striped skyscrapers. It is garish and artificial, a blatant parody of the noisy industrialized present. Regardless of its cultural impact, the story has the potential to curse you. Despite the obvious benefits of seeing this classic film, you should take it with a grain of salt.
In recent decades, many people have died after seeing the movie. Since the film was released in 1939, 91 members of the cast have become ill, including the actresses Pedro Armendariz and John Wayne. While Garland survived, her death was caused by drug abuse and an overdose of barbiturate drugs. Among other people, Frank Morgan, who played The Wizard, was struck by a severe car accident months after its release. Later in life, he was cast as Buffalo Bill in Annie Get Your Gun, and died of a heart attack.
Waterworld
Waterworld is a sci-fi movie that is surprisingly ecological. The movie’s budget is way over the original estimate, and the production team’s efforts to make it a success have resulted in a disaster. Waterworld was even deemed a bomb before its release. The film’s message is one that explains the realities of the polar ice caps melting and other natural processes. It’s also a fun family movie that can provoke discussions on science and environmental issues.
