Names of curses. The most famous curses that have come true in human history. Curse of the Hope Diamond
These films are famous all over the world not only because of their artistic value - the pictures are also overgrown with conjectures and legends about deadly curses imposed on film crews.
"Poltergeist"
1982The curse of the Poltergeist trilogy is the most famous in Hollywood. It is said that real human skeletons used during filming caused trouble for the film crew. However, "troubles" is putting it mildly. Actress Dominique Dunn, who played the eldest daughter in the Freeling family, was strangled by her boyfriend after the release of the first part of the trilogy. Actor Julian Beck from the second part of "Poltergeist" died immediately after filming was completed due to cancer. Actor Will Sampson died during heart surgery. The fourth death in the cast shocked Hollywood the most: during the filming of the third Poltergeist, 12-year-old Heather O'Rourke, the performer of Carol Ann's youngest daughter in all three parts of the cycle, died. The girl died of a heart attack caused by an intestinal disease. Not only actors were affected by the "curse". Writer James Kahn, who adapted the film's script into a novel, fell victim to the elements. As Kahn himself said, when he wrote the line “Lightning tore the night sky”, lightning really hit his house, from the blow of which the air conditioner was blown off and the writer was injured. He spent several months in the hospital. The final chord in a series of tragic events was the destruction of the real house of the "Freeling family", where the shooting took place, during the earthquake in Los Angeles in 1994.
"Crow"
1994The film's curse has been linked by mystics to the Lee family's birth curse. Martial artist and actor Bruce Lee has died at the age of 33 after taking a headache pill that caused brain swelling. The circumstances of the death of the artist have not been fully clarified: according to some data, the tablet contained a dose of aspirin and meprobamate incompatible with life, but there were also versions that the death was rigged by Bruce's envious people. The death of his son on the set of The Crow on March 31, 1993 can also be called a coincidence. In the final episode of Brandon Lee's character, his enemy Fanboy, played by Michael Massey, was supposed to kill him. By a fatal accident, the pistol, from which Michael shot Brandon, got a plug, which, when fired with a blank cartridge, mortally wounded the actor in the stomach. Prior to this, the filming of "The Crow" was accompanied by setbacks: the film's staff was injured, the equipment was destroyed by a hurricane. After the death of Lee Jr., superstitious members of the group said that in this way death was looking for Brandon.
"Rosemary's Baby"
1968A year after the release of this horror film, director Roman Polanski experienced a tragedy that no sophisticated Hollywood screenwriter could have imagined. 26-year-old actress and model Sharon Tate, wife of Roman Polanski, was stabbed to death by members of the maniac sect Charles Manson in the last month of pregnancy. Manson and seven members of his sect, who also participated in other ritual murders, were sentenced to life. Polanski, who initially spoke to reporters about the murder of his pregnant wife, later left America for several years. 11 years later, in the arch of the Dakota house in New York, where Rosemary's Baby was filmed, John Lennon was shot dead by The Beatles' crazy fan Mark Chapman.
"The Exorcist"
1973The popular American weekly Entertainment Weekly recognized The Exorcist as the scariest film in the history of cinema. But horror is inspired not only by the plot and special effects, but also by the tragedies associated with the film's team and even its audience! Even the Soviet Pravda, citing western source wrote about the impact of the picture on fans of intense cinema: “Chicago psychiatrist Louis Schlan says that after the film began to be shown in the city, he had more patients. Two young men who looked at the picture had to be sent to a psychiatric hospital. Four patients found the devil in themselves, two in their children. In Boston, people daily call the Catholic center with a request to exorcise evil spirits from them. The film group itself also turned to the exorcist during the filming process: it seemed to the team that because of the demons, dark things were constantly happening on the set. Later, tragedy befell the family of actress Mercedes McCambridge, who voiced the demon Pazuzu in her body. main character. In 1987, her son killed his child and wife and committed suicide.
"Stalker"
1979The history of the drama "Stalker", based on the story of the Strugatsky brothers "Roadside Picnic", is full of failures that the film crew faced. It all started even before work began: on January 31, 1977, the city of Isfara in Tajikistan, which director Andrei Tarkovsky had chosen for filming, was destroyed by an earthquake. When a new nature was found and the film was put into production, the film let the team down: the first materials turned out to be defective, the shooting was suspended. It's hard to believe, but after filming ended, the problem with the film arose again. This time, the duplicates were not just spoiled - almost all the material was lost in the Mosfilm laboratory! No one hoped for the restoration of the project, but Tarkovsky managed to get the film re-financed. The director was let down either by the budget, or by the shortcomings of the script, or by his own health - in the course of filming, Tarkovsky suffered a heart attack. The filming process was long and tiring, the film's technical team changed three times at the insistence of the director, but the hardest thing was to release the finished film for hire: "Stalker" was shown in cinemas only two years after the end of filming. Later, "Stalker" was overgrown with legends due to several deaths of team members. In the early 1990s, the editor of the film, Lyudmila Feiginova, died in a fire. Actor Anatoly Solonitsyn, leading man Alexander Kaidanovsky and Andrei Tarkovsky himself died in relatively young age, and one of the writer brothers, Arkady Strugatsky, died at the age of 66 from liver cancer.
"Superman"
George Reeves and Christopher Reeve are the most famous victims of the so-called "Superman Curse", which, according to Hollywood belief, overtakes all superhero performers in the movie. George Reeves, who played Superman from 1951 to 1958, died a week before his wedding in 1959 under mysterious circumstances: the actor was found with a gunshot wound. His successor Christopher Reeve, the movie's most popular Superman, was paralyzed in 1995 after falling from a horse. The careers of Kirk Alyn, the first on-screen Superman, and Dean Cain, who played in the comic book adaptations from 1993 to 1997, were neither shaky nor good, and actor Lee Quigley, who played the newborn Superman in the 1978 film, died at 14 from substance abuse. . We hope that Henry Cavill, the last performer of the role of Superman today, will prove by his own example that this “curse” is nothing more than a series of tragic coincidences, and no evil fate pursues the actors of the film series.
As with superstition, most curses can be attributed to simple bad luck or unfortunate circumstances. However, there are also such curses that are difficult to explain with something like this and one can only hope that you will never encounter them.Egyptian pyramids have always been credited with supernatural powers. Their very appearance was explained by different versions, up to the participation of extraterrestrial forces. Many still believe that the construction of such structures was beyond the power of the ancient Egyptians and it was hardly possible without aliens. As for the tomb of the famous pharaoh Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt at the end of the 14th century BC, one of the most famous curses is associated with the discovery of this tomb.The tomb was discovered in 1922 by the English Egyptologist Howard Carter. Almost immediately, all the world's print media reported that the inscription deciphered in the tomb in hieroglyphs said that "Death on swift wings will overtake anyone who touches the pharaoh's grave", i.e. actually sent a curse on anyone who dares to disturb the eternal sleep of the pharaoh. In order for the curse to be believed, it did not take the mass death of the entire expedition. It was enough that Lord Carnarvon, who financed Carter's excavations, died after being bitten by a mosquito, which caused blood poisoning and subsequent pneumonia.
For reference, Lord Carnarvon was personally present at the opening of the tomb. Then there were the deaths of the Egyptologist Georges Benedite and stepbrother Lord Carnarvon. True, Carter himself died of natural causes at the age of 66 in 1966. long life Alan Gardiner, who translated the inscriptions in the tomb, also lived. As well as Douglas Dery, who examined the pharaoh's mummy.
Why the curse spared the people who were most responsible for opening the tomb, and overtook those who did the pharaoh "less harm" remains a mystery. Either the curse has weakened after so many centuries and works selectively, or it didn’t exist at all - everyone decides for himself. But I, being on a tour of the Egyptian pyramids, decided not to climb into the tomb of Tutankhamen, you never know ....
Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse... What do all these people have in common? All of them were famous musicians who played rock and blues music. All of them had a great influence on the formation and development of these musical styles. And all of them, unfortunately, died at the age of 27, sometimes under rather strange circumstances. This is how the popular curse of the 27 Club, also called the Forever 27 Club, appeared. Oddly enough, but the image of a superhero in the cinema in reality played a cruel joke on the people who embodied him on the screen. Actor George Reeves, who played Superman in the television version, committed suicide, and actor Christopher Reeves, who embodied the heroic image in the early film versions of the comic, fell off his horse and remained paralyzed for the rest of his life.The Superman Curse is said to have been imposed by the creators of the character, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, in retaliation for the fact that, in their opinion, they were not paid enough for their work. Whatever the reasons, but many actors are still wary of this role and often refuse it, despite the great popularity of this comic book hero.
One of the most famous and influential families in America turned out to be the owner of one of the most famous curses. Very often, members of the Kennedy family became victims of tragic cases. John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated. John F. Kennedy Jr. died in 1999 in a plane crash. Joseph Kennedy was assassinated during World War II. Edward Kennedy had his leg amputated at the age of 12. Michael Kennedy died in a skiing accident. Such is the tragic chain of deaths and accidents, which all the time fuels interest in this leading American dynasty. A whole chain of unhappy lives and tragic deaths is associated with this stone. The diamond was stolen by a certain Tavernier during his trip to India. And it was stolen not from anywhere, but directly from the forehead (according to other versions, from the eye) of the statue of the Hindu goddess Sita. A very rash move, isn't it? Taverne sold the diamond, but this did not save him from a terrible death - he was torn to pieces by wild dogs in Russia.Another owner of the stone, King Louis XVI of France, was executed along with his wife, Marie Antoinette. The last owner of the Hope Diamond was Mrs. McLean. Despite the fact that she strongly denied the existence of the curse, the facts speak for themselves. Her marriage was unhappy and ended in divorce, her brother died early, her nine-year-old son died under the wheels of a car, and her twenty-five-year-old daughter died of a drug overdose. Poor Mrs. McLean could not stand the blows of fate and died at the still rather young age of sixty. Now the handsome rich blue color can be admired at the National Museum of Natural History in London. And you remember, you should not grieve the gods (even if they do not belong to your religion) and deprive them of statues of precious stones, otherwise, after all, what a misfortune can happen, you won’t pray with any prayers later!
The "Little Bastard" Porsche Spyder entered the list of curses after movie icon James Dean died in it on September 30, 1955. The car accident was the result of a collision with another car. Dean's friend and mechanic was thrown out of the car and survived, while Dean was wearing a seat belt and breaking his neck. The Porsche was bought by automotive designer George Barris for $2,500. When the wrecked car was brought to his garage, the Porsche broke loose and fell on a mechanic who was unloading the car. The poor mechanic had a fracture in both legs. The Bjorktor runestone belongs to a group of stones found in Bleking, Sweden, and dates back to the 6th century AD. The height of the stones reaches 4.2 meters. Some stones stand in circles, others stand alone. It is written on the Bjorktor Stone that anyone who tries to break it will be doomed to an insidious death. According to legend, once the correctness of this curse was inadvertently tested by a man who wanted to free up more space for his household and tried to destroy the stone. He wanted to heat the stone and destroy it with cold water. In absolutely calm weather, at the first attempt to light a fire around the stone, a gust of wind suddenly arose and threw the fire first on the hair, and then on the person’s clothes. The poor thing died in terrible agony, and the fire near the stone was extinguished as if by a wave of invisible hand. Such is the eternal, inviolable "pebble"! After the sale of player Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920, the Boston Red Sox fell victim to the Bambino Curse that the Bostonians never won a World Championship until 2004. When they did manage to do so, a total lunar eclipse occurred right during the game. This curse was placed on the Chicago Cubs team by Greek immigrant Billy Sianis, who came to watch the game between the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers at Wrigley Stadium. Billy came not alone, but with his favorite goat. Although they were initially allowed into the stadium and even allowed to watch part of the game, at the request of the Chicago Cubs team owner, Phillip Knight Wrigley, they were still kicked out of the stadium, citing a bad smell from the animal. The offended Greek is said to have cast a curse on the team that not only caused the Cubs to lose that game and the 1945 World Tournament, but to subsequently be relegated to the second division of the National League. And Philip Knight Wrigley allegedly received a letter from Billy asking: “And who stinks now?” William Henry Harrison became president in 1840. its advertising slogan election campaign Harrison chose the death of Indian chief Tecumseh, whom he personally killed in 1813. It is said that before his death, the leader cursed all US presidents who would be elected to this position in the zero year. In a strange (or justifiable) coincidence from then until the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, every 20 years a president who was elected in a year with a zero at the end died during his presidential term. Namely, Harrison in 1840, Lincoln in 1860, Garfield in 1880, McKinley in 1900, Harding in 1920, Roosevelt in 1940, and Kennedy in 1960. There was also an assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, but he survived.We, modern people, are sometimes ashamed to be superstitious, to believe in the afterlife and curses. For most of us, faith in various signs and ghosts is expressed at most in tapping on wood. However, there are facts of the curse, against which, as they say, you can’t argue, and the language does not dare to call them coincidences.
The Curse of the Egyptian Pharaohs
When the tomb of the Egyptian ruler Tutankhamen was being opened, a strange stone was discovered with a terrible inscription: "Fast as a bird, death will overtake those who disturb the pharaoh's sleep." Of course, archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon did not pay attention to this. In 1922, Egyptologists announced their great discovery.
Exactly one month later, Carnarvon died from a mosquito bite that caused severe blood poisoning. The famous financier George Gould died two months after visiting Tutankhamun. Multimillionaire Wolf Joel was killed a month after visiting the tomb, and a month later Carter was poisoned. Carter's assistant and secretary did not escape death, the first went missing, and the second was found strangled in his own bed.
Curse of Tamerlane

Having opened the coffin, the archaeologists found an inscription on its inside: “Whoever disturbs me will recognize the invaders as worse than me.” What happened on June 22, 1941, everyone knows very well.
By the way, exactly one year later, Joseph Stalin ordered the return of the ashes of Tamerlane to the tomb.
Curse of the Hope Diamond
French merchant Jean-Baptiste Tavernier stole a 115-carat gem from an Indian temple. In 1669, he sold the blue diamond to King Louis XIV. Exactly a year later, Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were beheaded during the French Revolution. The cursed stone "surfaced" only in 1812 in London. Then he got the name "Hope Diamond", thanks to its new owner - Lord Henry Phillip Hope. Until the end of the 19th century, the Hope family owned the stone, but in times of financial hardship, it was decided to sell the diamond. For some time, the jewel went from hand to hand, and in 1912 it went to Evelyn Walsh-McLean, the youngest daughter of the owner of the Washington Post newspaper. A month and a half later, her son was in a car accident and died, Evelyn herself hanged herself, and her husband spent last years his life in a mental hospital.
In 1958, it was decided to transfer the stone to the Smithsonian Museum of History, where it is still located. A postman delivering a box of diamonds was hit and killed by a truck, and two weeks later a fire broke out in the house of the deceased, in which his wife and beloved Labrador were killed.
Curse of Tecumseh
The 19th century in US history was marked by violent conflicts between government forces and the indigenous Indian population.
In one of the skirmishes, the leader of the Shauni tribe, Tecumseh, was killed. Dying, Tekmuse cursed all future American presidents.
