Don’t know if you are interested or not, but here are some wierd facts from the making of the original OMEN.

http://voices.yahoo.com/creepy-facts-didnt-know-movie-omen-463307.html

Gregory Peck (the actor who portrayed Robert Thorne) and David Seltzer took separate airplanes to London; both of which were struck by lightening.

Harvey Bernhard, the producer, was very nearly struck by lightening while filming in Rome, Italy.

The dogs that were featured in the film’s cemetery scene attacked the trainers.

The hotel in which Richard Donner was residing was bombed by the IRA.

Richard Donner was struck by a car while getting out of Harvey Bernhard’s vehicle. Miraculously, he was not injured.

Donner and his crew planned to charter an airplane. The company needed the plane that day and offered Donner a discount if they waited an extra day or two. Donner agreed. The airplane that they would have been on had engine trouble and crashed, killing all on board. The plane crashed into a car and killed all of its passengers. Ironically, the passengers in the vehicle were the wife and two children of the pilot.

On the same day that the baboon scene was filmed, two lions broke loose and attacked and killed a guard.

John Richardson, the person in charge of the special effects, was in a car accident. As a result of the collision, his girlfriend was beheaded; Richardson was the one who invented the scene in the film where the photographer was beheaded.

Yep they say the movie was a curse I don’t think so. I think when making a film based on something so spiritual I believe it calls it. Yes the Omen and even the Exorcist were cursed. The Omen is based on the Antichrist which will appear in the near future and the Exorcist based on true demon possession. Who knows it may have attracted spirits. Anyway, that poem even-though it was part of the script is very very prophetic. That is why I call Obama - Damien Thorn.
