Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore three cursed and haunted paintings--I Can't be a Bride Anymore, The Crying Boy, and Pogo the Clown.

Each are visually striking and eerie, and coupled with a scary backstory, I have no doubt these stories will keep you up at night.

Is there such thing as a haunted or cursed painting? Can an evil spirit attach itself to a work of art and torment its owner? And are these three paintings haunted?
