10 Horror Movie Sets That Were (Allegedly) Haunted

10. The Omen (2006)

As you'll find detailed elsewhere in this article, the original Omen is a much-loved classic. However, a remake of this remarkable and disturbing movie was released in 2006. Written by David Seltzer and directed by John Moore, the film didn't (unsurprisingly) quite hit the sweet spot for critics, and it was met with mixed reviews upon release. Still, many horror fans have tuned in to watch it over the years and have enjoyed this fun redo for what it is.

Director Moore said that two days' worth of footage was destroyed when cameras imploded. The digital image that appeared when this happened? "Error 666." Moore called a technician to have a look at the equipment and was perplexed because he claimed that such an error number does not actually exist on the system. While not evidence of much in itself, the devil's number appearing in a malfunction this way was certainly enough to unsettle the filmmaker, who spoke of the story to various reporters.

Whilst the haunting accounts of curses and supernatural interference are forever attached to both productions of The Omen, the subject matter of the film certainly makes it easy to see why any mishaps are suddenly seen in an ominous light.
