Curse of the Omen
The horror movie, “the Omen” had a series of disturbing events. Star Gregory Peck and the Screenwriter David Seltzer took two different planes in to the UK, and both planes were struck by lightning. And if that wasn’t enough, Executive producer Mace Neufelds’ plane from Rome was almost struck by lightning as well.
Director Richard Donner was even more unlucky, the hotel where he was staying was bombed by the IRA and he was also struck by a car.
Gregory Peck was almost the most unfortunate one when the plane he initially charted to Israel crashed, killed everyone onboard. Peck had just before cancelled his seat. In the Omen, Peck’s character eventually have to kill his own son. In real life, Peck’s son had just committed suicide, only months before the shooting started.
Numerous members of the crew where in a car crash one day and special effects artist, John Richardson were injured in an accident on the set of ‘A Bridge too Far’ and his girlfriend, during the same accident, was beheaded. And rumor has it that when Richardson crawled out from the wreck he saw a road sign: Ommen, 66.6km. (Source)
