17 scary films that were supposedly cursed The Omen (1976)

The Omen was plagued by a lot of terrible incidents:

– Lead actor Gregory Peck and writer David Seltzer were on planes that were struck by lightning.

– The stuntman standing in for Peck during the famous rabid dog scene was actually attacked by Rottweilers that bit through the protective gear he was wearing.

– A zookeeper on set to tame baboons was mauled to death by a lion the day after completing their work.

– Most tragically, though, after filming was completed, special effects director John Richardson and his assistant, Liz Moore, were involved in a serious car accident. Moore was decapitated in an incident that echoed one of The Omen's most disturbing scenes.
