9 people died during filming of The Exorcist.

Other strange things happened as well. ie: The set catches on fire when nobody is there, props falling on people, Bill Friedkin going bananas and shooting off his gun and so on.

Vic Morrow was killed by the helicopter during the Vietnam scene in Twilight.

I've heard of most of these things, but the Poltergeist one is the weirdest because of the kid's involved. What was up with that. I could never picture the little girl growing up. She had an odd look.
I can't remember how she died though, gotta look it up. Anyone remember?

Some cursed movies.

I don't believe in them myself as curses, more like coincidence... but who knows. I think people just make a bigger deal out of deaths on horror sets, because they're, well... horror.

Just like how those people that had heartattacks while watching The Passion were all over the news. Why? Because it was during The Passion.

Stuff like this happens more than it's publicized, but it's only made publicized when it's surrounding odd circumstances.

Thanks Rotting Eye for the great link!

A lot of that I hadn't heard. Gotta pass it on.

I'll believe in anything just for the fun of it, well almost anyway.......

I watched the clip but don't see much. Only a little movement. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

Interesting though. Too bad, the rumor was a good one. Well, not for the Munchkin.

It's like the mystery of the little girl who was killed in the Barnum and Bailey circus fire. It was more interesting when n one knew who she was. I read in the paper a while back that they finally identified her. Wish some things would stay a mystery!

Gotta go back to work, but look up Little Miss 1565. You will find all kinds of sites on the mystery, the fire, and her family.

I did some searching here but have to go back later.

Bye for now!

the tin man was meant to be played by someone else, but he had a bad reaction to the silver paint so they had to get someone new. and the hanging munchin. was just a huge bird walking around in the background a emu i think it was...there was no sucicides on the set. but i hear there was a lot of sucicdes after on though

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the "ghost" in the scary-in-a-different-way movie, "Three Men and a Baby." Or the "ghost" on film in "Waiting for Guffman."
Neither of these movies are horror, and I think "Waiting for Guffman" is about the best in the Christopher Guest mockumentary series, but they are strange happenings and urban legends captured on film.

just to make the obvious joke: "Isn't that scarier than a real ghost?"

But aside from that, who cares if it was a picture of fucking Ted Danson??? To me, it will always be a ghost.

the most horriible possible thing that ever happened during the filming of a horror movie was in House of the Dead ...

the cameras worked.

i can't remember the title of the film, but it's not really horror...but

two young children and an actor were killed during the shooting of a Vietnam War scene in which a Helicopter, went down and the blades from the copter scrapneled decapiting the two children and the actor. It was a John Landis film, that's all I can remember about it.
