News Topical, Digital Desk : It's said that some films are made to be etched in history forever. The stories and tales of some films have made people wonder if such a thing is truly possible.
While many people remember comedy and action films, others also remember horror films. But today, we're going to tell you about a film that claimed countless lives, and its history is so ominous that people still shudder at the thought of it. Let's find out which film it is.
A film that became cursed
The Exorcist, a film that hit theaters years ago, struck fear into the hearts of many. While many stories surround this film, released in 1973, this one wrote a terrifying tale that gave people heart attacks.
Women even suffered miscarriages after watching this film. Ambulances were even stationed outside theaters. Some people vomited, others choked, and theatergoers fled. The film was even released in a limited number of theaters.
Film set burnt after shooting
In 1969, comic novelist and Hollywood screenwriter William Friedkin wrote his first horror novel, "The Exorcist." The novel was a huge hit when it was released. He then decided to make a film based on it. Warner Bros. approached him to purchase the film rights and became the distributor, but he couldn't find a director. Everyone declined to direct the film.
Ultimately, William, who wrote the novel, directed the film, and Linda Blair was finalized for the lead role. Shooting began in 1973. It is said that while filming was underway, a fire broke out on the set, engulfing the entire set. Nine people died in the accident, and a total of 20 were injured. However, the room where the ghost scenes were being filmed remained unharmed.
Frequent accidents on the film set
After the film's set burned down, shooting was halted for several days. Thereafter, a series of accidents occurred on the set.
A church pastor was called to purify the film set, but he too refused to come. The remaining members of the team were unwilling to return to work. Shooting was halted and resumed several times. However, the tragedy reached its peak when actors began losing their lives on the set.
These actors died, the film took the lives of many people.
Among the misfortunes, the film also saw a string of deaths. Jack McGauran, who played Burke Dennings, died in the film. Vasiliki Maliaros then died before the release of "The Exorcist." Furthermore, several others, including Linda Blair and Max von Sydow, died during filming.
Many members of the film's cast and crew died. During screenings, people fled. People began vomiting in theaters. The scenes were so horrific that women suffered miscarriages. Several people even suffered heart attacks in theaters.
It's said that after filming this film, the makers became convinced of ghosts. It's believed that some supernatural powers were present on the film set. The film's climax scene alone took months to film. As the filming progressed, so did the film's budget.
It's said that five films have been made based on The Exorcist, all attempting to portray the same story. However, what happened in the original film still terrifies people today. However, these claims are based solely on reports.
