So I'm sitting here at this hour unable to sleep, and watching Poltergeist, the remake.
Watching this, got me thinking about years ago. The original movie, and how they claimed it was cursed.
In the original movie, they actually used real human bodies rather than fake ones for budget reasons.
There were many claims of hauntings right on the set and the famous clown scene was actually real. The boy almost died to a "technical malfunction."
The set was blessed a few times and some of the cast died strange deaths.
Can only wonder if this was all some strange superstition or if it was actually truth.
There have been rumors of many cursed movies and plays over the years.
I think the most famous one would be Macbeth.
So do any of you believe in these superstitious curses, or do you believe it's all taboo?

I believe in the supernatural but I don't believe that ghost can case curses. A haunting is a haunting and people leave imprints that repeat over and over again. Ghost are always around unable to leave because they can't find there ways. I don't think they target pool,e to be mean unless it's evil and there are evil unseen thighs. Demons are real amd target the weak.

Very true, and we seem to forget about them. On other movies they claimed was cursed. Was The Exorcist. Idk with the content of the movie, that could be very possible. .

@ShyBear88 Ghosts have always fascinated me. I like watching shows like Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters but I shied away some from GH because there evidence is becoming questionable.

@indiandevil exorcist is on the extrem end when it's really bad. A little ghost you need just a blessing and it does the trick. We have a ghost in our house but he doesn't bother us. He likes to do somethings every now and then to be noticed and remind him it's cool you are hear but no scaring us or the kids.

What the genre really needs is for the writers to come up with original ideas. No matter how many times they redo these movies for the most part it wont be as good as the first. Nightmare on Elm street for example... I wasn't feeling that remake. However to me no one can really be Freddy other than Robert Englund

@indiandevil Sinister part 1 was good. they showed the horror exactly the way it was supposed to be. Next part of sinister was however very off putting and boring.

Haven't watched it but have heard of it. The curses they talk of are mostly rumors for publicity. But who knows there could be some truth to that too...

Some of it could have been for publicity... others maybe not so much. Like Dominique Dunne's murder... I'm pretty sure that wasn't publicity.

That was a murder. Plain and simple.
