House Of The Devil. During the filming ti west and the cast and
crew stayed in the hotel as is was close to their set and cheap.
West was told by hotel staff that the hotel was haunted, locals believe that the hotel is haunted too,
west is a skeptic so didnt believe it, while he was staying there he said he saw doors
open and close on there own and tv's would turn on and off.

to write the inkeepers. He recorded the film at the hotel and stayed
there while he did. He said on the first nights that he and the
crew stayed there they began to have very vivid nightmares.
and lights would always turn off for no apparent reason Sara paxton who starred in the film would
wake up in the middle of the night as she had the sense that somebody was watching
her, this lead to sara's agent telling tai west that sara didnt want to stay in the hotel
anymore as she was too scared. The crew also complained of human shaped sillouttes
appearing within the hotel. The yankee pedlar inn is believed by many people

The possession The possession is a 2012 supernatural horror
film, the plot surrounds a haunted box that a young girl buys at a yard
sale, little does she know that inside the box lives an evil spirit it then begins to
haunt the child and tries to possess her.
The creepy thing about this, is that the film is based off the alleged true story of kevin
mannis. He purchased a wine cabinet at a yard sale in 2003, it had belonged
to a 103 year old holocaust survivor, when buying the box he was warned
about it by the womens grandaughter who said that the women was terrified of the box and
told people to never open it. As mannis was driving home with the box he
got a frantic call from work saying that somebody had destroyed the furniture
in the shop that he owns, when he arrived there, there was nobody in the shop but it was destroyed but
there was no trace of anybody ever being there
A few days later mannis gave the box to his mother for her birthday and quite literally a few
minutes after she had acceptted it she had a stroke and lost the ability to speak.
He later tried to give the box to friends as a gift but they all returned it days later
telling him that strange occurrence started to happen.
Mannis decided to keep the box, within the first few days he started to have terrifying
vivid nightmare of demons trying to attack him, then one day when he woke up
he found all 10 fish in his aquarium dead. Strange occurrences continued such as doors
slamming and strange odors in the air, the odor has been described as
an odd mixture of jasmine and cat urine. Mannis then sold the box on ebay for 140 dollars
to a college student called losif. Losif only had the box for seven months but
within the seven months his roommates became violently ill and their
house became plagued with dead mice and electronics would fail almost every day.
Also losif began to start loosing his hair. Now for what happened on set, the creators
of the possession where offered to use the real box in the movie but they refused
as the cast and crew where to afraid to be around it so they re-created it.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan who starred in the movie is a skeptic but he was freaked out by some
occurrences that started to happen on set.
Whenever a scene including the box where filmed the room would get eerily cold and studio
lights would randomly explode this happened on several occasions.
Also a fire broke out in the storage room where the props where stored, the cause of
the fire is unknown, the fire completely destroyed the room and
the re-created box was also destroyed.
The exorcist curse. The exorcist is 1973 supernatural horror film
directed by william friedkin, its based on the 1971 novel called the exorcist
which is inspired by the 1949 exorcism of a 13 year old boy.
The plot of the film surrounds a 12 year old girl who has been possessed by a demon after
playing with an ouija board. During the recording of the exorcist several
strange occurrences happened, nine people died, a fire broke out which
destroyed part of the set and linda blair who played the starring role suffered serious
injuries after being tossed around for a bed shaking scene.
Many believe the exorcist set was cursed including the writer of it william blatty.
Wiliam even got priests to bless the set with holy water as he believed something evil was
within it. The curse was to believe to have started just
weeks after filming had began for the exorcist, Jason miller who played a priest in the film
was out with his family when his 5 year old son was hit by a motorcycle
and his legs was crushed and he was in critical condition, just a month later max von sydow
who also played a priest shot his very first scene in the movie, then the
day after this his brother suddenly died. just 3 months after, Jack Macgowran who played
a alcoholic movie director in the film shot his final scene in which
his character dies after a violent encounter with the possessed girl, just two weeks later
Jack Macgowran died of influenza at the age of 54.
shortly after this a fire broke out in the set of the possessed girls bedroom and put
the movie production at a halt for 6 weeks while it was repaired, the cause of
the fire was never found and is still unknown to this day.
During a scene in which linda blair who playes a possessed girl was tossed back and forth
on her bed she fractured her lower back as a harness that was supporting
her malfunctioned. Ellen burstyn who played the girls mother
was also the victim of a harness malfunction, she had permanent injury to her
spine after she was seriously injured during a scene when she in thrown from the bed to
the wall by the girl, the screams heard in the scene are screams of real pain.
ellen also said there was an enormous amounts of deaths connected with the film and stated
that there were nine deaths in total.
Several of the crew also said many objects on set would move on there own this included
the telephone that was used to communicate between the set and the production
house, william blatty said he had seen it come of the hook and fall to the
floor. Also one day while jason miller was having
lunch and reading over lines something very bizarre happened to him, a random priest
approached him and said reveal the devil for the trickster that he is, he will seek retribution
against you or he will even try to stop what you are trying to do to unmask
him". The priest didnt know who jason miller was
as he hadn't been in a movie previous to the exorcist.
Shortly after filming finished two other actors died and so did several of the crew.
also during the screening of the film in rome a thunderstorm broke out, the movie theater
was right next to a 16th century church and a 400 year old eight foot long cross
which was placed on the church was struck by lightning and was partly destroyed.
It seems like any movie surrounding possession or the devil is cursed during the filming
of another movie titled the exorcism of emily rose, jennifer carpenter
who played the lead role said she would wake up in the middle of the night to
the sound of her stereo playing Alive by pearl jam but the only lyric that would play was
i'm still alive.

horror film directed, co-written and produced by steven spielberg,

younger daughter. Its believed that the trilogy of poltergeist
films are cursed and this can be backed by the strange occurrences
that happened on and off set. The curse was believed to have started when
real human skeletons were used as props in a pool sequence scene in the film.
The skeletons were used in poltergeist and poltergeist 2.
The curse also derived from the fact that four of the cast members died in the six years between
the releases of the first and third films, Dominique Dunne who

actor who played the middle child was in a near fatal accident while on set
for the first poltergeist. During a scene where he is strangled by a
clown puppet, the prop strangling him malfunctioned and began to strangle him
for real it almost choked him to death, the crew believed he was just acting until they
noticed him becoming blue this is when they realized something was wrong.
Also during poltergeist II will sampson performed a exorcism on the set as he believed something
evil was within it due to the use of the real skeletons.
During the production of poltergeist III a fire broke out in the set of a parking garage
and several crew members where hurt. The poltergeist curse wasn't only on set its
believed to have followed the cast to their homes as Actress JoBeth Williams said
that, during the filming when she would return home from set she would find the pictures that were hanging
on her walls where all crooked, she would straighten them but find them crooked again
the next day she said it was happening everyday. people have reported seeing the ghost
