10 Scariest Cursed Items In Horror Movie History
2. Dybbuk Box - The Possession
Like any self respecting scary movie, The Possession borrows from 'a true story' to tell its terrifying tale of a box containing an evil entity intent on taking over a little girls body. Unlike most scary movies however, this one is ACTUALLY true. Or at least, about as true as these things get.
The dybbuk box has long captured the attention of the amateur paranormal investigator community (yes, that's a thing), cited as a wine cabinet that contains a malicious spirit, the dybbuk, that wants to possess the living. In The Possession, the creature from Jewish mythology is discovered by young Hannah at a garage sale, whispering through its confinement in a sealed box before attempting to inhabit her body as its own and infesting her house with moths.
Purposefully messing with the supernatural is one thing, but simply opening a kitschy box and having your body taken over by some unpleasant slippery creature is just unfortunate. If it's too good to be getting as a second-hand discount, just don't buy it.
