From malfunctioning equipment and on-set explosions, to killer dolls and sudden and tragic deaths, the rumors swirling around the series have both audiences and filmmakers alike asking the question: Could these tragic events just be a horrific coincidence? Or are the Poltergeist movies indeed cursed?

Bob Crane, one of the most recognizable stars in Hollywood during the 1960s, was known for his comedic performances in Hogan’s Heroes and The Dick Van Dyke Show. Fans and admirers of Crane believed his characters traits to be similar to his own being: lighthearted, charming and witty. But behind his on-screen persona, Crane had a dark side. His involvement in sexual escapades and amateur pornography created many enemies for the actor, any of whom could have had a motive to kill. In June 1978, the beloved entertainer was found bludgeoned to death in his apartment. Was Crane violently murdered by his best friend and partner in crime? Did a jealous boyfriend of one of Crane’s mistresses seek revenge that ended in homicide? Or did his soon to be ex-wife finally snap amidst their messy divorce? The mystery still remains: who killed Bob Crane?
