There was a documentary made about the making of Fitzcarraldo and it came out around the same time. It was called Burden of Dreams. It's better than Fitzcarraldo. As the movie is about an obsessed maniac trying to achieve a Sisyphean task in the jungle, the documentary is about Herzog doing the same thing. It's very meta and most highly recommended.

Not enough "The Conqueror". Also, there's this 2010 film called "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer". It's another one of those inoffensive kid's films, this time based on a book series, that were made ever so often and promoted heavily at the time. These films would be heavily promoted, and since they were released during the summer would be seen by large numbers of families who just wanted something inoffensive to watch with the whole family. However, two of the cast members of the movie have died.

one piece of cursed media I missed on the iceberg is 'Destati', a song composed by Yoko Shimomura for the Kingdom Hearts games. according to Shimomura, whenever they tried loading the chorus for use in other songs, something bad would happen; most notably the power to the entire building went out after an attempt to load the chorus. I've never heard of the Destati Curse striking after the release of Kingdom Hearts 1, though the full track wasn't used in any game until very recently. more of a funny curse than a serious curse.

To anyone whose curiosity was sparked by Antrum... It's not worth it at all imo. I watched it 2-3 years ago and thought it was incredibly underwhelming. If you're wondering, it's not just a mockumentary, they play the in-universe cursed film for 90% of the runtime, and it's an incoherent artsy horror film that does terrible job immitating the 70s aesthetic (not nearly gritty looking enough, obvious filters and isn't even shot like an old movie so I couldn't get immersed into this supposed obscure 70s movie at all). The movie itself is very slow, boring and, frankly, feels like a film student's school project at times. The big in-universe revelation in the end, is that all throughout the movie there are satanic symbols incorporated into the film in a scratched-into-the-filmtape style, and some trivia by interviewees is given that the symbols represent some horrible demon, tied to many historical tragedies. It's a cool idea (if a little nonsensical, cuz why would they make a documentary about a supposed cursed film and show it in the same documentary), but the execution is very mid.

another connection between The Beatles and Rosemary's Baby: the film was shot at the Dakota, and near the beginning a character falls to her death. The spot they had her land on was the same spot John Lennon would be killed.

Some stuff missing that should have been here: "Smile Dog" How is the most infamous "cursed image" not on here despite The Grifter and similar things being here? "Timmy Turner" Mary Kay Bergman, the initial actress who voiced Fairly OddParents' main protagonist Timmy Turner would end up with cancer and ultimately chose to kill herself. The voice actress that followed, Tara Strong getting in trouble on social media, as well as Drake Bell who played Timmy Turner in the live action movies, facing sexual allegations. "27 Year Old Celebrities with White Lighters" This is probably the most damning exclusion on the list. There are theories of why most people of the notorious "27 Club" met their unfortunate demise and it's said that most of them had white lighters on them. The 27 Club in itself is really an entire rabbit hole and it's honestly dumb that the person who made this iceberg could even overlook this phenomenon.

The white lighter thing would need actual evidence for "most" having them on them when they died. The 27 club goes back a very long time and is more about how many people with certain struggles not making it to their 30s than any weird occurrence. Also, how is a lighter color theory "cursed media"? Doesn't fit the definition of media at all.

Actually, the deaths "in" the Conquerer had nothing to do with the radiation. The radiation levels were so vastly low that the chances of cancer related to the location is practically non existent. It's more likely that the deaths are related to the fact people get cancer and people were chain smokers. There's a couple of videos on YT about it.
6:22 That's just D'Arby's stand, nothing to do with the movie.
