10 Films That Are Said To Be Cursed

You know you have it bad when your film is deemed Hollywood’s greatest ‘cursed’ movie.

For a film that is remembered for its bright colours, fun enjoyable songs, and family friendly spirit, what followed production was anything but cheerful. Instead, the stars met with tragic fates, and horrific accidents to the extent that some ludicrously believe that a munchkin actor committed suicide and was caught on camera in the film.

Judy Garland's downfall is particularly tragic. Breaking into movies at such a young age took its toll on the star and she battled drug addiction in the later years of her life, attempting suicide on a number of occasions. Her tragic life was brought to an end after she overdosed on pills at 47.

Other stories include that of Margaret Hamilton, The Wicked Witch who was badly burnt during filming and the original Tin Man, Buddy Epson who had to depart before filming, due to suffering from an infection from the aluminium paint used for the makeup.
