What's happening, Spooky People? This week on the podcast, I sit with Sarah Beth and we continue our cursed films conversations as we talk about the 1983 film, The Twilight Zone: The Movie. We go over a brief description of the film, itself before we shift gears and talk a little more about the "curse". We go over the details that led many to consider this a cursed film. We discussed how John Landis broke laws, was reported to shrug off safety suggestions, and other onset tragedies since then, including The Crow and Rust. "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" curse refers to a series of tragic incidents associated with the production and release of the 1983 anthology film. The movie was based on the classic television series created by Rod Serling. Four segments were directed by different directors, including John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller. While not a traditional curse in the supernatural sense, the tragedies associated with "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" have left a dark cloud over the production, leading many to refer to it as a curse. It serves as a reminder of the risks involved in filmmaking and the importance of prioritizing safety on set. Thank you, everyone, for your support.
