6 most damn movie sets of all time

6 most damn movie sets of all time

one of the most famous movie curses

comes from the sets of the poltergeist

films which reportedly claimed four

lives of the main cast over its many

years of filming the movies produced by

Steven Spielberg were a sensation upon

their release but the chilling aftermath

of its human losses produced a

terrifying legacy that sent shockwaves

through Hollywood first there was the

brutal murder of actress Dominick Dunne

at the hands of her boyfriend upon first

glance this was a tragic loss but

nothing that pointed to a movie curse

then the consecutive losses of actor

Will Sampson during a routine operation

and the death of Julianne Beck who

succumbed to cancer finally the curse

struck Heather O'Rourke the protagonist

of the series who was killed after a

misdiagnosis from doctors when she

became ill and fell into cardiac arrest

the reason for the curse it was reported

that some of the props used in the

original film were actually the remains

of deceased individuals and they did not

have permission to be used in the movie

considering the plot of the film this is

as ironic as it is tragic while the film

uh took was never proposed to be a

horror movie the line of high-profile

deaths it left in its wake would serve

as a terrifying film in and of itself

originally conceived as a comedy about a

traveling Eskimo the part was first

offered to a world-famous comedian John

Belushi who had just come off the wildly

popular The Blues Brothers he was

reportedly a huge fan of the script and

signed on immediately only to die of a

drug overdose before the movie could

enter production the film attempted to

move on recasting the part to actor Sam

Kinison problems with funding persisted

but Kinnison remained attached to the

project until he was killed in a car

accident in 1992 not seeing any concrete

warning signs the movie continued to

progress attaching popular comedian John

Candy just a few short months later

before the movie could start filming

Candy died of a sudden heart attack

production ceased and the script floated

around Hollywood for almost three years

with interest in the movie waning until

it found itself in the hands of actor

and comedian Chris Farley before he

could commit to the picture Farley died

of a drug overdose

and it took was shelved for good james

wands conjuring movies have proved to be

worldwide smashes producing spin-offs

and sequels that continue to make money

to this day but just as the movies are

full of well-crafted scares the cast and

crew of the first movie experience

strange paranormal events during filming

the odd occurrences include the

directors dog continuously barking at

and growling at a person that was not in

the room the dog's eyes then seemingly

watched something walk from one side of

the room to the other and eventually

leave later actress Vera Farmiga

reported seeing devilish claw markings

on her computer screen she attempted to

read the script

she believed at first it was a joke

being played on her by the crew but no

one ever admitted to the prank when the

real-life mother the film was telling

the story of visited the set she said

she felt the same presence of the witch

known as Bathsheba all around the crew

she later fell on set and had to be

taken to the hospital and finally

whenever the screenwriters attempted to

call the real-life paranormal

investigator Lorraine Warren that Vera

Farmiga plays in the film their calls

were played by static and the line

continuously going dead warren claimed

that was unusual for her landline among

the most heartbreaking and tragic of the

movie curses is that of a sci-fi film

The Matrix the horrifying losses began

with the news actor Keanu Reeves first

child with his then girlfriend Jennifer

Syme was stillborn while filming The

Matrix equal sign herself was killed in

a tragic car accident then his filming

got underway actress and singer alia was

killed in a plane accident she was

originally cast as Z and the part

eventually went to Nona Gaye later

actress Gloria foster who played the

Oracle passed on from diabetes at the

age of 67 throughout filming Reeves

suffered multiple injuries some very

serious and his sister relapsed into a

struggle with leukemia though she

eventually recovered Roman Polanski's

seminal horror film Rosemary's Baby has

a well-documented string of atrocities

that followed filming due to a reported

movie curse the strangest events noted

are that of the death of the movies

composer who passed away after a blood

clot developed in his brain strangely

enough his death directly mirrored that

of a character's in the movie the film's

producers suddenly experienced kidney

failure

out of nowhere and had to be rushed into

surgery but perhaps the most horrifying

connection was that of the murder of

Polanski's wife and unborn child by cult

leader Charles Manson Polanski purchased

the house in 1969 for music producer

Terry Melcher who years prior rejected

Manson's propositions to be a musician

in revenge

Manson ordered his cult to invade

melters home and murder everyone inside

what Manson didn't know was that Meltzer

had moved out of the house and Polanski

had moved in while Polanski was not home

that evening Manson's cult brutally

slaughtered six people in one of the

most famous murder cases in American

history but perhaps no movie curse was

as deadly as that of the film The Omen a

multitude of deaths and strange

occurrences plagued the film's

production and leave behind a legacy far

scarier than the movie itself to start

on three separate occasions were people

who were involved with the film getting

struck by lightning while on a plane

screenwriter David Seltzer actor Gregory

Peck and producer mace new fields all

reported surviving freak lightning

storms while filming later pecks son

would kill himself with seemingly no

warning then an assistant of a special

effects consultant was brutally killed

in a car accident with John Richardson

to make the curse even more real when

Richardson escaped from the accident

relatively unharmed he looked up to find

a road sign that read almond 66.6

kilometers then a tiger handler employed

by the film died

finally a plane that was originally

supposed to be used in the movie was

switched out at the last moment and

redirected for commercial use it later

crashed and killed all the civilians on

board solidifying the omen as the film

with the most indirect casualties of all

time
