Is The Dark Knight cursed?

Last November, a special effects technician was killed during a stunt test run.

In January, Heath Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose.

Last month, Christian Bale was arrested by London police on suspicion of assault following a complaint made by his mother and sister.

And just today, Morgan Freeman was hospitalized following a serious car accident in Mississippi.

In the past, other films have been labeled as cursed following accidents and/or deaths involving cast and crew — films such as The Crow, Poltergeist, The Exorcist, The Omen, and most notably, Rosemary’s Baby.

So, is The Dark Knight cursed?

The Omening

This is a cheesy (but funny) video Sarah and I made at my apartment during the wee hours of the morning. It’s an emulation of the film The Omen for Peg Aloi’s class Cinema and the Occult. The point was that we had twelve minutes of class time to give an oral presentation about the occult’s influence on the film. This video knocked eight minutes of that time right out. We had to include educational information but, as you will see, we didn’t take it very seriously. We did get an ‘A’ though. Watch for a cameo from Linus.




When in Rome.
