Movies That Are Cursed (Or Have Unusual Events Surrounding Them)

What movies are renowned for being cursed or having unusual or inexplicable events surrounding them?

One that comes to mind right now for me is Poltergeist. Quite a few actor deaths and had odd things happen on the set, especially during the 2nd and 3rd movies.

Polt is the first one that came to my mind, the second, oddly enough, is From Dusk til Dawn.

The most famous of 'cursed' films is The Amityville Horror, so much unexplainable stuff went on during the filming of that feature if my mind serves me correctly a copy of the films script was involved in a couple of mishaps (explosions, car crashes etc) and whilst everything else was destroyed it remained in pristine condition.

good ones 🙂

there were a few tradgedies with Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions

Aaliyah killed in a plane crash in 2001
Gloria Foster died of diabetes in 2001
Keanu's ex-girlfriend died in car accident in 2001 (in 1999 they had a stillborn baby)
Keanu's sister diagnosed leukemia

and the injuries that go along with all that martial arts...
Carrie-Anne Moss, who plays Trinity, broke her leg training for a wire stunt. Laurence Fishburne, aka Morpheus, fractured an arm in another training incident. And Weaving put out a disc in his neck while being pulled back on a wire.

anything ive forgotten?

the Superman-movies:
Christopher Reeves (thanks mah), got in a wheel chair
the one that played Loise Lane went insane (it rhyms 😄)
and I think there were some minor accidents too, but that's what I can remember now

There's also "The Crow", where not only was Brandon Lee killed, but during the first day of shooting in Wilmington, North Carolina, a carpenter suffered severe burns after his crane hit live power lines. On subsequent days, a grip truck caught fire, a disgruntled sculptor crashed his car through the studio's plaster shop, and a crew member accidentally drove a screwdriver through his hand.

I never heard of anything on From Dusk Till Dawn. I have heard of all of the others mentioned. The only one that comes to mind, though is The Wizard of Oz. I never even knew if any of that was real. anybody else know?

Even god was trying to keep those crappy matrix sequels from being made.

I was thinking the same thing 😉

You people took all of mine.....

What about that John Landis directed movie... I can't remember the name of the movie. There was an accident that resulted in the death of the leading actor and 2 vietnamese children. They were killed when the helicopter fell and the blades hit them onscreen. I saw the accident footage a few years back. Gruesome indeed!

I'm aware of the Wizard of Oz stuff. Theres a bit where apparently a suicidal munchkin is hanging in the background by a rope from a tree. (apparently)

Its a bird. Same for 3 men and a baby. There's no dead kid. Thou it looks that way.

yeah, the 'ghost' in 3 men and a baby is merely a cardboard cutout.

The amityville horror movie scares the crap out of me. yeah u can say that its cursed for the fact that stuff happened in real life

Wait, did someone mention Twilight Zone: The Movie? There was a huge helicopter accident and a few people died as a result, one of them being the actor who played the bigot in the first episode.

Yes that's the one mardook was explaining...have you ever seen the video of that? Yuck.

Some people have been watching Urban Legend vids, I think...

if they just rereleased the video with the cut-scene where they say why the cardboard cutout is standing there, it would all be solved
