Well known for a chilling narrative and a series of eerie incidents that beleaguered the production of the film, The Omen is one where Gregory Peck had his plane struck by lightning while traveling to film, and the screenwriter, David Seltzer, had it happen to him also.

The most tragic incident involved special effects supervisor John Richardson, whose girlfriend was decapitated in a car accident that mirrored a scene from the film. Such unsettling occurrences have led many to believe the film is cursed, according to The Independent.

Where to watch: Peacock, Apple TV.
