We’ll soon be bundled up on the couch with a pumpkin spice latte, a big bowl of popcorn, and our favorite horror movie in preparation for Halloween.
This is some spooky happenings
One horror film, in particular, is ‘cursed,’ and we don’t simply mean it because of one or two horrifying narrative twists.
The movie in question is none other than Poltergeist, a horror fantasy in which four of the performers tragically perished after appearing. Here is a link to the trailer:
When a family moves into their dream house in 1982, it quickly turns into their worst nightmare when a demonic force seeks to corrupt their little daughter via their television.
The five-year-old then generally torments her hapless parents as a result of the spirits using the child to use her life power to ‘bring them to the light’.
However, four of the actors who appeared in the original 1986 release of Poltergeist II and the 1988 sequel Poltergeist III later passed away.
Dominique Dunne, Heather O’Rourke, Will Sampson, and Julian Beck are among those that perished.
Beck, who portrayed the wicked priest Kane in Poltergeist II, was given a stomach cancer diagnosis in 1983 and passed away as a result of the disease’s consequences not long after the second movie’s completion.
Sampson, who played Taylor, the shaman, in the second movie, likewise had a dismal prognosis after undergoing a heart-lung transplant and tragically passed away as a result of the procedure.
Following the trilogy, there were two more sudden deaths, including Dunne, who played one of the key roles of Dana Freeling in the first film and was killed by her ex-boyfriend by strangulation the following year when she refused to date him once more.
Additionally, O’Rourke, who played Dunne’s younger sister Carole Anne Freeling—the famous blonde child who probably most personifies the first film—had an untimely and terrible death at the age of 12 as a result of a medical problem.
O’Rourke, who appeared in both of the films’ sequels, was thought to have been given a false diagnosis of Crohn’s disease in 1987, which may have contributed to the actor’s passing in 1988.
Is there a real-life curse behind it?
Well, observers appear to agree. I’ve been researching the curse of the Poltergeist film. It’s really deep and bizarre,” one person on social media said.
