9 Behind-The-Scenes Occurrences That Make Famous Horror Films Even Scarier
3. The Possession: The Dybbuk Box Was Destroyed In A Fire
The Possession is a supernatural horror about a haunted wine cabinet - there's a joke about spirits in there somewhere - starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kevin Bacon's other half Kyra Sedgwick.
The Dybbuk Box, or at least the prop representing it, is believed to have caused some freaky goings on during production and they came to a head when it was destroyed in an unexplained storage facility fire.
Even non-believer Morgan was convinced there was something sinister going on. According to him, “Don’t mock the box” became a mantra for the cast and crew.
As unlikely as it sounds, The Possession was allegedly inspired by true events and the filmmakers had the chance to use the real Dybbuk Box for the movie, an offer they politely declined for obvious reasons.
