The Omen

Don’t mess with the dark forces. Also, don’t play with tigers. The Omen’s animal handler learned the latter the hard way, when he was killed but a tiger right after the production was wrapped. Then the special effects expert’s girlfriend was beheaded in a freak car accident, the tragedy that mirrored events of the film.

The planes of the cast and crew members were hit by lighting on multiple occasions. And all of the actors who played Damien in the following films (and there are 5 The Omen movies to date) felt the presence of some mystical power and on most occasions quit acting. The latest episode in the ongoing “The Omen curse” saga occurred just last year, when Harvey Spencer Stephens (who played Damien in the original film) attacked two cyclist and punched them in the face. The actor will face 12 months of jail time.
