The Halloween is closer than ever and what better than watching horror movies at this time. Within this genre there are endless different plots, from possessions, murderers, monsters and more.
But beyond the fear that these tapes can cause us, there are some that are said to have a damn behind all we saw of scenes.
So here we tell you what those were movies that ended in tragic things like death, fires and other things that happened to his actors and the production team.
Considered one of the best movies of all time, “The Exorcist” tells us the story of a little girl named Regan, who is possessed by the demon Pazuzu “the destroyer” and that although it scared us a lot, it was like that for the cast as well.
The filming took place on a New York set, where they simulated the girl’s house and very close to the place, the actor who plays the father karras (Jason Miller) met a royal priest, who warned him: “He who reveals the devil for the trickster that he is will seek retribution against him or her.”
Before the premiere in 1973, two actors died, Jack MacGowran, who played the director of a film and Vasiliki Maliaros, who played Karras’s mother, their characters also died in the film, as well as 7 production members.
Likewise, the recording set began to catch fire sharply at 2:30 a.m. only after the first scenes of the film began to be shot and the curious thing is that the entire house that was built burned down, except for the room of the possessed girl and the cause would have been a pigeon that got into it to a load center and caused a short circuit, even though it was closed.
While before the first day of shooting, Linda Blair (Regan) lost her grandfather, while Max von Sydow, who played Father Merrin, lost his brother just as he came to the US.
This 1976 film is about a boy named Damien, who is actually the antichrist and from the beginning of the filming, things began to turn dark.
One of the actors involved is Gregory Peck who only one day after being selected, loses his son who commits suicide, but despite this, he continues with the film.
The cast travels to London where they would film some scenes and during the flight in which Peck was traveling the plane was struck by lightning in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but luckily it did not happen to majors. While David Seltzer, the screenwriter, on his return to Los Angeles was also struck by lightning, but survived.
Director Richard Donner and his wife suffered an attack at the hotel where they were staying, which was orchestrated by an IRA terrorist group.
Another event was that John Richardson, in charge of special effects, suffered a accident at kilometer 66.6, which coincides with what the protagonist boy had on his head in the form of a scar and although he was unharmed, his assistant was decapitated, as is the case with the photographer in the film.
One of the most iconic scenes of the film is when the boy and his mother visit the zoo, the day this was filmed, the guard died after being attacked by some cats. Something also happened with the rottweilers, as they attacked Terry Walsh, who was the double of David Warner, who was hospitalized after this.
The famous movie written by steven spielberg It also happened in tragedy, as several of the actors died in a fateful way.
One of them was Dominique Dunne, who is the eldest daughter of the family, the actress She died at the hands of her boyfriend who strangled her.
While the famous girl protagonist of the trilogy, Heather O’Rourke died at the age of 12 after the premiere of the third part due to an intestinal illness.
Other actors lost their lives, such as Julian Beck, who suffered from stomach cancer, while Will Sampson died as a result of complications from a transplant.
It should be noted that it is said that the curse of this trilogy began because they used real skeletons in the pool scene, in which actress JoBeth Williams, the mother of the family, falls into the pool where the bones are floating.
One of the best known cases is that of the film “El cuervo” starring Brandon Leewhich is about a man named Eric Draven, who had been murdered and returns from the dead seeking revenge.
In addition to wanting to avenge his death, he also wants to do it for his fiancée’s, and something similar happened in real life, because creator James O’Barr’s fiancée had been killed by a drunk driver, that’s how he started working on the comic.
But the greatest tragedy befell Brandon Lee, who died in 1994 after being shot in the abdomen in the midst of shooting the movie.
It was actor Micheal Massee who brought Funboy to life and shot the 28-year-old protagonist with something resembling a real bullet, causing him to die instantly.
It also highlights that before starting to shoot the scenes, the production received a voice message warning them not to record the tape, because bad things could happen.
