9 Behind-The-Scenes Occurrences That Make Famous Horror Films Even Scarier

Tales of set curses stretch back to the early days of the horror genre, but they've circulated around more recent movies too. Case in point, 2005's The Exorcism Of Emily Rose.

Lead actress Jennifer Carpenter believed she was being followed home from the set by an unseen entity that was none too pleased the film was being made. While this could be nothing more than paranoia, a recurrent incident involving her stereo is harder to explain.

The Dexter star claims her Hi-Fi kept switching itself on in the middle of the night, doubly freaking her out with its song choice - Pearl Jam’s Alive, something her character wasn't by the end of the movie.

The Exorcism Of Emily Rose is loosely based on the real-life plight of Anneliese Michel, whose story has inspired two other films - Requiem and Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes.
