Movie Curses - Mindless Banter 158

Movie Curses Some movies have rough productions. Others seem to have something genuinely strange hanging over them. In this episode, we dig into some of Hollywood’s most infamous “cursed” movies and the bizarre stories that built those legends. We get into the real human skeletons used in Poltergeist, the string of deaths surrounding the franchise, the ridiculous amount of bad luck connected to The Omen, the fire that destroyed The Exorcist set while leaving Regan’s bedroom untouched, and the John Wayne movie that may have exposed hundreds of people to radioactive fallout. We also get into Brandon Lee and the eerie coincidences surrounding The Crow, the supposedly deadly Atuk screenplay, the tragedies connected to Rosemary’s Baby, the modern curse mythology around The Conjuring universe, William Shatner’s nearly lost Esperanto horror movie Incubus, the Superman curse, the insane working conditions on The Wizard of Oz, and plenty more. Some of these stories are pure Hollywood folklore. Some are horrible accidents and coincidences that got turned into supernatural legends. And a few are strange enough that they’re a little harder to shrug off.
