13 Horror Movie Sets That Came with a Curse

2. The Amityville Horror

As if the story surrounding the real Amityville incident wasn’t spooky enough, the film set from the 1979 movie was just as creepy. James Brolin, who played the character George Lutz in The Amityville Horror, was reading over the script in the early morning when a pair of his pants suddenly fell off a hanger. He was hesitant about accepting the role, but that scary incident convinced him to appear in the film. But that’s not all. When the movie was remade in 2005, a dead body washed up on shore in the same area where the movie was to start filming. Actor Ryan Reynolds also claimed that some members of the crew kept waking up at a 3:25 every morning while filming – the same time the real murders took place.
