Some of the scariest movies ever made are The Exorcist, The Omen, and Poltergeist. All three of those movies had something happen when the cameras weren’t rolling that is scarier than the movie itself.
Several cast members from Poltergeist died young, including the two actresses who played the daughters. They were not the only ones to die before their movies came out. Vic Murrow and Brandon Lee were both killed, making their movies The Twilight Zone: The Movie and The Crow.
Shudder is streaming a 5-part documentary, Cursed Movies, that looks at the curses behind all of those films starting on April 2nd. Were they really cursed, or was it just a coincidence that several people, who worked on The Omen, were on different planes that all got struck by lightning while the feature was in production?
We will find out. Make sure to keep the lights on because you won’t be able to sleep at night after you watch this docuseries. Truth is always scarier than fiction.
Hopefully, if they get a second season, they will do the most infamously cursed movie. While Rebel Without a Cause was not a horror movie, what happened to all three leads is.
