#12 Superman Curse
According to the curse: “If you intend on playing the Strongest Man on Earth, you will either die or end up in the weakest position possible.”

Some say that the curse started when the co creators writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster felt that they were not compensated fairly from DC comics. The first one who was attacked by the curse was George Reeves in the 1950, he was found dead from a gun shot wound to the head days before he was to be married. In 1995 Christopher Reeve was in a horse riding accident paralyzing him from the neck down. The actor died in 2004 from heart failure resulting from his condition. Lee Quigley who played Superman as a baby in Superman the Movie was found dead in 1991 at the age of 14 from inhaling solvents.

#11 Lee Family Curs
In July 1973 Bruce Lee was at a friends house where he complained of a head ache, took some analgesic (painkiller) and Equagesic (muscle relaxant and aspirin) and went to take a nap, he never woke up. His son Brandon Lee was 8 years old and vowed to follow in his fathers foot step. Brandon Lee had taken some small parts in Hollywood, but in 1992 he was cast in the underground comic book The Crow. In a scene in the film Brandon’s character was to walk into his apartment where he would stumble upon a group of men attacking his girlfriend, one of the men was to shoot Brandon. A prop gun was to be used, but unfortunately the guns barrel was not empty. Earlier in the day they had used it however the bullet had become lodged in the barrel. While shooting the scene for the movie the same gun was used and loaded with a blank cartridge. The squib load was still lodged in the gun and when fired was propelled into Lee’s body. After a 6 hour operation and 60 pints of blood, the actor was pronounced dead on March 31st 1993, he was 28 years old.
Many believe that the it was a curse that was passed down from his father, because Bruce had shared Martial Arts secrets with the western world.

#8 The Curse of the Movie Atuk.
In the 1970 there was a script that was written with one performer in mind, it was John Belushi. John was cast in the role of the overweight Eskimo trying to make it in the big city. While the comedic actor was preparing for the role, he was found dead from a combination of cocaine and heroine. A few years later the screenplay was handed off to a new actor Sam Kinison. After a half of a day of work Sam freaked out and couldn’t do the rest of the film, said he didn’t like the way it was written and refused to do the rest of the filming, 2 years later Sam was killed in a fiery car crash. They still wanted to make the movie, so they offered the script to John candy in 1993. The actor was in the process of reading the script when he died of a heart attack. A few years later they thought that Chris Farley would be good for the film, they offered him the role. Chris Farley had handed the script to Phil Hartman to pay a costar of his in the film. They have decided to shelf the script and have not offered it to anyone else.

#5 the Curse of Little b*****d.
During the filming of Rebel Without a Cause, Dean traded in his 356 Speedster for one of only 90 Porsche 550 Spyder. It was customized by George Barris who also designed the Batmobile. The car had the number 130 on the front, side and back of the car. The car was nicknamed “Little b*****d” so custom car painter Bill Hickman painted the name on the car.

On September 23rd 1955 James Dean and actor Alec Guinness were having lunch at Villa Capri in L.A. Dean insisted that Guinness came out to look at the car. Alec told James that the car looked Sinister and said “Please never get in it. If you do, you will be dead within a week.” One week later on September 30th 1955 James Dean and his Mechanic Rolf Wutherrich were traveling to a race in Salinas California when a 1950 Ford Custom Tudor coupe driven by Donald Turnupseed, attempted to take the fork onto State Route 41 and crossed into Dean’s lane. The two cars hit head on. Dean was pronounced dead upon arrival at 5:59 pm. 7 days after his lunch with Alec Guinness.
George Barris purchased the wrecked automobile for $2500.00 after transporting it, it slipped off its trailer and broke the leg of the mechanic. Barris sold parts of the car to Doctors Troy McHenery and William Exchrid. While racing each other Troy lost control of his car, and was killed instantly as he his a tree. William Eschrid was seriously injured when his car rolled several times after attempting a curve on the road. The car’s misadventures did not end there, it continued with two tires from the car malfunctioning, causing the buyers car to run off the road. Other things include broken bones, severe cuts, and a fire destroying the building that the car was being held… except for the car. In 1960 the car was being transported back to George Barris when it vanished and it has not been seen since.

The church condemned it, Rev Billy Graham branded it evil, members of the audience were physically sickened by it, and people believe that there is a curse on the movie and those who were associated with it. The set burned down for no apparent reason, and several people involved with the film died suddenly, including an assistant cameraman's baby, a night watchman and an actor whose character was killed in the movie. 9 dead, over a dozen people injured, 2 fires and the obsession for Jeffery Dahmer.. Need I say more?

Right after the movie came out Christian Bale had a run in with the law, he was being questioned by police for the assault on his mother and sister. While the charges were dropped, it was eerie. Then less than a month later Morgan Freeman was driving with a friend, when his car rolled on a Mississippi highway. 2 dead, one nearly injured and one run in with the law and this film isn’t out on dvd yet… what else can we expect?
