  All those old Facebook posts saying “Send this message to the next 20 people or you die at midnight” would definitely fit this iceberg.

  that&apos;s not a curse, that&apos;s just filmmaking in the 70s before the horrific Twilight Zone movie accident forced the industry to set safety standards

  Exorcist isn&apos;t cursed. Friedkin just didn&apos;t give a damn about actor safety.

  a more lighthearted addition to the alleged macbeth curse:<br>in season 7 of rupaul’s drag race there was an episode called “shakesqueer” where the queens competed in two groups performing parodies of shakespeare plays. the production of “macb*tch” ended up being a total disaster, with multiple queens forgetting their lines, costumes falling apart, etc. a very entertaining episode lol

  The King in Yellow is probably on here because there&apos;s a fictional play in the book called &quot;The King in Yellow&quot; that&apos;s said to drive people insane

  i dont know if you know/have mentioned it elsewhere but the tominos hell image (the poem isnt made by the same person) is actually just a painting from a japanese woman (yuko tatsushima) who consistently made images that have to do with being a victim of S/A, theyre very intense images but really good and you can feel the visceral emotions theyre clearly made with, absolutely good stuff, its a shame the image has been warped by the wider internet into what its now seen as, feels like it completely disregards the very real origins of it.

  Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper actually did use human remains during the filming of Poltergeist, specifically the scene where Diane is swimming and a skeleton emerges from the water. The actress, JoBeth Williams, wasn&apos;t told that the skeleton was real until filming ended.

  saying macbeth in a theatre during any show is considered a curse. during my high school’s production of Tarzan, my director said it as a joke to prove that it wasn’t real. three different cast members sprained their right ankle on opening night, me being one of them

  Can&apos;t believe so many people were scared of Steve Buscemi staring at you with a red filter

  Ok, I&apos;m gonna be that person: &nbsp;&lt;ahem&gt; Actually... Buddy Ebsen was not in &quot;The Wizard of Oz&quot;. &nbsp;He was supposed to be in it, but, as you said, the silver paint sent him to the hospital. &nbsp;They ended up re-casting the role; the Tin Man was played by Jack Haley.
