The Omen, a horror classic, revolves around a couple who adopt a child believed to be the son of the devil, and the film is often associated with a series of ominous events. Lead star Gregory Peck's son's suicide a month before filming, Peck's plane being struck by lightning, and other aviation mishaps are connected to the film's production. Additional incidents include the director's hotel bombing, a zookeeper's death after shooting at a safari park, a rottweiler attacking a stunt performer, and a tragic car crash involving special effects director John Richardson and his assistant Liz Moore, the latter of whom was decapitated.
