What's up, ghoulies? This week on the podcast, Sarah Beth and I sit down and chat about the cursed film theory behind the Poltergeist film franchise. We discuss the tragic and untimely deaths of Dominique Dunne and Heather O'Rourke, the origin of the curse, cast members' thoughts on the matter, and whether we believe the films to be cursed or not.
The cursed film theory surrounding the 1982 film Poltergeist stems from several tragic and eerie incidents involving the cast and crew. The theory suggests that the production was haunted or cursed due to the use of real human skeletons in one of the film's scenes, which some believe brought bad luck. Key events fueling the curse include the untimely deaths of two of the film's young stars. These tragedies, combined with other on-set accidents and unusual occurrences, have led many to believe that the Poltergeist franchise is cursed.
