10 Most Terrifying Horror Movie Curses
4. Halloween 4-6 - The Curse Of The Thorn
Coming into play in parts four through six of the Halloween franchise, The Curse of the Thorn is an old Druid curse that requires the inflicted to sacrifically murder their whole family.
Having one family be wiped off the face of the earth is meant to save everyone else from famine and drought and all that bad stuff, so members of the Thorn cult associated with the curse just sit back and relax as Michael wreaks havoc on his poor family.
The curse imbues its bearer with supernatural strength and healing ability, making Michael able to endure all the times he gets shot and falls down mine-shafts and out of windows, et cetera. But is a bit of super-strength really enough to justify the compulsion to murder everyone in your blood-line?
Not only is this curse terrifying because it gave form to one of horror’s most infamous killers, but because to suffer under the curse would be to spend your whole life with the express goal of wiping out anyone you’re related to. What a sad, lonely existence!
