We should probably preface this with the clear statement that we don\'t really believe in curses.

That said, some films are unluckier than others, and if there are any curse gods out there reading this, then we\'re really sorry for how we opened this feature and please don\'t hurt us.

What follows is a list of movies ranked not by their quality, but by the strength of the curse (or bad luck, depending on whatever voodoo you personally believe in) that struck them.

You should probably throw some salt over your shoulder before you read it.

14 things you missed in the Fifty Shades Darker trailer

Star Wars Ep 8 release date and all you need to know

You\'ll find a lot of horror films claiming to be cursed, and that\'s got absolutely nothing to do with the fact it\'s a great (and cheap) method of marketing horror films.

\'s curse was super serious, you guys. It saw the stars occasionally GETTING THEIR TELEPHONE CALLS CUT OFF WHILE THEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF TALKING. And - brace yourselves - director James Wan\'s dog BARKED AT NOTHING AT ONE POINT.

Oh, and Vera Farmiga opened her laptop one day and found five claw marks across the computer screen. Which is actually pretty spooky if it\'s not made up or she didn\'t accidentally leave her cat in charge of the online banking that day.

These events were so scary that the crew hired an on-set exorcist for the sequel, which, again, definitely had nothing to do with marketing.

Cursed movies are often associated with the devil, but

seemed to invoke God\'s anger, or certainly something that uses one of God\'s signature moves. That\'s because Jim Caviezel and assistant director Jan Michelini were struck by lightning during the filming of the Sermon on the Mount. For Michelini, it was actually the

One person getting hit by lightning is unlucky, two seems to be a vendetta. Still, at least director Mel Gibson made it off the set without accruing any bad luck. His career was ju-u-ust fine after this film was released.

We can understand why God wouldn\'t want an unpredictable Australian to make a film about his son getting beaten up for 12 hours, but we\'re not entirely sure what he\'s got against the popular musical

, which might not have suffered lightning strikes, but did feature a litany of unlucky events including broken bones, serious falls and Courtney Love.

curse here, but be warned, it\'s a harrowing read.

Another popular movie with a set plagued by trauma was

. The original Tin Man, Buddy Ebsen, had to hang up his metal outfit and quit after getting a lung infection from the make-up. But that\'s not all. Winged monkey extras fell from their wires, the Wicked Witch caught fire and had to take time off to recover, and even Toto broke a paw.

That\'s a lot of nasty events, but, that said, we\'re not sure if this film was so much cursed as it was really bad at health and safety.

By the way, the myth that a munchkin hanged themselves on set and can be seen on camera is obviously total nonsense. In case you were wondering.

The Superman "curse" covered TV and movies, and is actually too serious to joke about. In fact, this is the section of the feature where we stop making gags as, from this point on, each cursed film suffered really serious tragedy.

George Reeves heartbreakingly committed suicide in 1959, after playing the iconic character on the hugely popular TV series

. Conspiracy theorists note that his fingerprints weren\'t found on the gun, and suggest the actor was murdered - but whatever the cause of death, it took Reeves too soon.

As for the movies, Christopher Reeve had retired from the Superman role when he was thrown from his horse and paralysed from the neck down, and also died too soon, aged 52.

Mean-spirited theorists point to the careers of Dean Cain, Brandon Routh and Tom Welling as further evidence of a curse.

is a legendary film that will be remembered forever. Sadly, three of its leads weren\'t able to see its reputation grow, as they were all taken before their time.

James Dean died in a car accident shortly after completing filming, aged just 24. Sal Mineo was killed by a mugger outside his house in 1976, aged 37. Natalie Wood drowned in 1981, aged 43, in an event that was initially deemed an accident, but has subsequently been recategorised by police as potentially suspicious.

were, at least the film was completed before the terrible luck struck.

, a comedy about an Eskimo emigrating to New York, remains forever unmade - partly because of the tragedy surrounding its casting.

John Belushi died of a drug overdose shortly after reading the script. Comedian Sam Kinison was cast next, dying in a car crash before filming could begin. Next, John Candy took the role, and died of a heart attack. Chris Farley opened talks to play the lead and died from a drug overdose, in sadly similar circumstances to his hero Belushi.

Production was halted, and the film will likely never be completed.

(SPOILERS) sees an actor selling his soul to the devil in exchange for fame and fortune, sacrificing his beautiful wife as part of the bargain.

It was director Roman Polanski\'s breakthrough film, bringing him major success and widespread acclaim. The film was released in 1968, and in the same year, Polanski married model-turned-actress Sharon Tate.

Just a year later, Tate died at the hands of Charles Manson\'s \'family\', who broke into their home saying: "I\'m the devil and I\'m here to do the devil\'s business."

That horrific event, alongside the early death of

composer Krzysztof Komeda months after the film was released (Komeda was just 38) - and the Satanic connection, obviously - have led many conspiracy theorists to label

Not only was shooting delayed by a set fire (which left Regan\'s bedroom unharmed), Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair seriously hurt their backs during filming, and there are multiple deaths associated with the

Actors Jack MacGowran and Vasiliki Maliaros died while the film was in post-production - both played characters who died in the movie. In 1987, actress Mercedes McCambridge (who was the voice of the demon Pazuzu) suffered bleak tragedy when her son murdered his wife and children before taking his own life.

franchise, three crew members died in tragic circumstances. In 1982, actress Dominique Dunne (she played the Freelings\' oldest daughter Dana) was strangled by her ex-boyfriend. She was just 22. Will Sampson, who played medicine man Taylor, died in 1987 from complications following surgery. 

One year later, Heather O\'Rourke, who played young Carol-Anne, the main character of all three instalments, suffered cardiac arrest and died. She was only 12 years old.

, because even if the stories surrounding this film are just coincidences, they\'re still really disturbing.

planes carrying cast or crew suffered extreme weather: Gregory Peck and screenwriter David Seltzer took two separate planes to the UK, and both were struck by lightning. Executive producer Mace Neufeld\'s plane from Rome was also forced to fly through a lightning storm. Later, Peck\'s plane to Israel crashed, killing everyone on board. Peck had cancelled his ticket moments before.

Director Richard Donner\'s hotel was bombed by the IRA. Special effects artist John Richardson was involved in a car crash that killed his girlfriend. All hugely tragic events, which, when tied to the movie\'s plot - about the Antichrist killing off his enemies - have an added air of creepiness.
