The True Story Behind The Omen, One of the Most Haunted Film Productions in History
As Summer came to an end in 1975, production began on one of the more well-known entries in the horror film canon. A chilling portrayal that depicts the foretold arrival of the Antichrist and the inevitable end of times, The Omen came hot off the success of The Exorcist, a frightening and devilish adaptation that had changed the landscape of the movie genre forever.
The Exorcist had been a monstrous hit. To this day, it ranks as one of the top-grossing horror films of all time, having earned over $232 million in revenue. It also earned a staggering 10 Academy Award nominations, which included best picture, best actress, best actor, best supporting actress, and best director. With this kind of success, it seemed like The Omen would be a surefire hit; producer Harvey Bernhard had counted on that. What he might not have expected, though, was the strange set of occurrences that would string together and earn The Omen a reputation as one of the most cursed productions in film history.
Even when The Omen was just an idea floating around the Hollywood stratosphere, Bernhard had received a grave warning. According to the Los Angeles Times, an advertising executive named Bob Munger had approached him with an idea involving the Antichrist. Munger pitched the concept with caution. Bernhard said, "He warned us that he thought the devil didn't want us to make the picture."
In later interviews, both Munger and Bernhard recalled how they predicted the curse in these early moments. Munger recalls his words of warning: "I said, 'If you make this movie, you're going to have some problems. If the devil's greatest single weapon is to be invisible and you're going to do something which is going to take away his invisibility to millions of people, he's not going to want that to happen.'" Bernhard recalled, "The devil was at work and he didn't want that film made."
The trouble ignited before the film even began production. The perceived catalyst was the tragic suicide of lead actor Gregory Peck's son, who had shot himself in the head in June 1975, just two months before the first days on set. When Peck flew to London for the role, his plane was struck by lightning. A few weeks later, executive Marc Neufeld boarded a flight from LA. His plane was also struck by lightning, and he referred to the experience as "the roughest five minutes I've ever had on an airliner."
Still, production on The Omen lurched forward. Bernhard began wearing a cross on set. At one point, the team had hired a small plane for some aerial filming, but the vessel was switched over to another client at the last minute. The plane reportedly crashed on takeoff, killing everyone on board. More ominous circumstances seemed to plague the production. Neufeld, whose plane had already been struck by lightning, was staying at the London Hilton with his wife. The building was bombed by the Irish Republican Army in September of that year.
As filming rolled on, so did the disasters. One particularly chilling zoo scene had a group of wild baboons reacting violently to Damien's presence. According to director Richard Donner, Damien's mother, played by actress Lee Remick, was legitimately terrified while filming the sequence. For the safety of the cast and crew, an animal trainer had been brought on to deal with the baboons involved in the scene. "He was killed the day after we shot there," Bernhard recalled. "He was killed by a tiger. He grabbed him by the head and killed him instantly."
Even after the film was finished, the curse seemed to live on, following those involved with it and inflicting them with unspeakable tragedy. The film's initial release was an obvious choice: June 6, 1976, or 6/6/76. In August of that year, a special effects genius named John Richardson got in a terrible car accident. He was in the Netherlands, working on Richard Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far. In terms of The Omen, Richardson had executed a particularly gruesome decapitation scene. Richardson had survived his car accident in Holland, but his passenger, assistant Liz Moore, hadn't been so fortunate. She had been beheaded. According to local reports, a sign in the vicinity clocked the distance to a nearby town: "Ommen, 66.6 km."
One of the film's stuntmen, Alf Joint, also went to work on A Bridge Too Far. He wound up in the hospital after one of his stunts went wrong. In one sequence, he was simply meant to jump from the roof to an airbag, but he seemed to fall, abruptly and strangely. When he woke up in the hospital, he claimed he'd been pushed by something.
And what became of Harvey Stephens, the young boy who portrayed Damien? He seems to have completely vanished. Back in 2001, AMC premiered a 90-minute documentary called The Omen Legacy. The piece rehashed many of the aforementioned stories and included interviews with the original cast and crew. Stephens was nowhere to be found. "I saw him nine years ago," Bernhard said at the time. "He was handsome and a wonderful boy. He was tall and he was rather beautiful. It was the only picture he ever made." Kevin Burns, an executive producer for the special, even went as far as to hire a private investigator to get ahold of the former actor. "I am sure he is still around out there . . . we really tried to find him."
Stephens isn't missing, by the way. In fact, he returned to acting in 2006, right back to where his career started. He played a small role in the remake of The Omen, which starred Julia Stiles and Liev Schreiber and was released on 6/6/06. As far as we know, nothing out of the ordinary happened during the production of the reboot. The quietude begs the question: is the curse of The Omen real? Was it all coincidence, just a case of bad luck? Only the devil knows.
Curious About That Lid Scrub You've Seen All Over Amazon? A Pro Weighs In
I first encountered lid scrub years ago in a friend's bathroom. She claimed the little pads helped cleanse her long eyelashes and prevented debris and pollen that got caught in them from inhibiting her sight or irritating her eyes. Then, I recently noticed that The Original OcuSoft Lid Scrub ($10 for a pack of 30) was one of Amazon's bestselling personal care products and wondered if I should have been exfoliating my eyelids this whole time. Was ignoring this step like not brushing my teeth?
Considering the product has 4.5 stars on Amazon and more than 1,000 reviews, I decided I needed to investigate it further. I reached out to board-certified dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, to find out if I should start incorporating this step into my daily routine. Read more about lid scrub ahead.
Does Exercise Improve Your Skin? A Derm Weighs In

While you probably already know that regular exercise is good for your body, you may not have considered the toll your morning Pilates class could have on your skin.
After all, your body heats up when you exercise, sweating and causing friction as you move against your clothing: a combination that's not always kind to skin. That's why we consulted board-certified dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, to find out the effect your daily sweat session has on your complexion.
"Exercise increases blood flow, which provides nourishment to your skin and also carries away waste products like free radicals," Dr. Bhansulai said. "The better circulation of oxygen you experience often leads to a 'post-workout glow.'"
In addition to giving you a healthy-looking complexion post-class, there are potential long-term benefits of exercise to your skin as well. "There have been [studies] that show an increase in collagen with regular exercise, which is important in maintaining the appearance and function of skin," he said.
A study at McMaster University in Ontario in mice showed that signs of aging were decreased when the mice were put on a consistent exercise routine. Although the mice were genetically altered to prematurely age, their fur didn't even turn grey. This study might mean that regular exercise can contribute to a more youthful appearance.
However, if you're acne-prone, there can be negative side effects if you don't cleanse your skin after a workout. "If you're not showering or cleansing the area after, you might experience an increase in acne, especially yeast or fungal acne," Dr. Bhansali said. If you're unable to shower right after your workout, consider keeping a salicylic acid body spray like Paula's Choice Clear Acne Spray ($25) in your bag. You can also wash with an acne body wash like Neutrogena Body Clear Acne Body Scrub With Salicylic Acid ($6).
Overall, regular exercise will not only benefit you on the inside, but also your outward appearance. So, the next time you're thinking of skipping your workout class for happy hour, consider which one will make you glow in the morning.

Who's Lucy Hale Dated? We're Sorry to Say the List Doesn't Include Ezra Fitz
You may know her best as Aria Montgomery, and soon enough, you'll know her better as Katy Keene, but here's what we're wondering: who has been lucky enough to know Lucy Hale as their girlfriend?

She may be single for the time being, but let's take a walk down memory lane and see who's romanced the Pretty Little Liars star in the past.

Want to Get Straight to the Spoilers? Here's What Happens in Let It Snow
Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances by John Green, Lauren Myracle, and Maureen Johnson, is about to be adapted by Netflix into a romantic comedy featuring the likes of Isabella Merced, Kiernan Shipka, Jacob Batalon, Odeya Rush, and Joan Cusack. The book, originally published in 2008, features a collection of three distinct yet intertwined stories of teenagers as they weather a Christmas snow storm in Gracetown. Before you cozy up under a blanket with a piping hot mug of cocoa and your loved ones to indulge in some early holiday cinema fun (the movie drops on Nov. 8), let's review what happens in the book.
Will this Christmas Eve be a night of miracles or a night of disasters? A terrible snow storm, a stranded train, and Gracetown - a small town tucked away in the middle of nowhere that will almost make you miss the traditional sleep-inducing Christmas dinner. And yet, Jubilee, Jeb, Tobin, JP, the Duke, Addie, Dorrie, and Tegan will share the most bizarre and random Christmas Eve of their lives. In a roadside Waffle House filled with cheerleaders, unexpected meetings and encounters multiply, while couples get together, break up, and get back together again.
Warning: If you don't want the most important spoilers from the book before you watch the movie, then read no further!
"The Jubilee Express" Spoilers
After her parents are arrested during a department store riot in the Flobie Santa Village, Jubilee Dougal takes a train to Florida to spend Christmas Eve with her grandparents. She meets Jeb, who is headed to Gracetown to get back together with his girlfriend Addie, on the train. After the train gets stranded in Gracetown because of a massive snow storm, Jubilee heads to the Waffle House where she meets Stuart, who invites her to weather the storm at his house. She eventually accepts his offer, taking a shortcut that lands her in icy water (literally!). Jubilee simply can't get to sleep without calling her boyfriend Noah, whose Christmas Eve party she had to miss because of her parents' arrest, but the lackluster phone call and Noah's unresponsiveness leave her disappointed.
The next day, Jubilee opens up to Stuart about her phone call with Noah, who reveals that he has broken up with his girlfriend after finding out that she had been cheating on him. Feeling caught up in the moment, Stuart and Jubilee kiss before being interrupted by his mom and sister. Jubilee heads back to train, but Stuart catches up to her and convinces her to come back home with him to spend the holiday with his family.
"A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle" Spoilers
John Green tells the tale of Tobin, JP, and the Duke. The three friends watch movies at Tobin's house while his parents are stuck at the airport. They head to the Waffle House after their friend Keun calls to let them know that a group of cheerleaders desperate to play Twister are there, only to get stranded in the snow. They decide to soldier on through the snow on foot, but Tobin comes to the realization that he has caught feelings for the Duke. In spite of a mild flirtation with the cheerleaders, Tobin confesses his feelings for the Duke, and the two share a kiss in the sparkling snow outside the Waffle House, then bask in the newness of their altered relationship.
"The Patron Saint of Pigs" Spoilers
In the final story, Lauren Myracle introduces us to Addie, who is lonely, heartbroken, and confused after breaking up with her boyfriend Jeb. Why did they break up? She was seduced by Charlie at a drunken Christmas party, incurring Jeb's scorn. After being told by her friends Tegan and Dorrie that she and her selfishness are to blame for her breakup, Addie offers to pick up a teacup pig for Tegan in order to make amends, only to find out that the pig has already been sold to an elderly woman whom Addie eventually finds. She returns to Starbucks (where she works) with the pig in tow, where she happily reunites with Jeb.
All in all, these stories woven around the main theme of love end happily, leaving the reader with a sense of warmth and sentimentality. This is a great read if you are a John Green fan, and the movie is bound to be just as sweet as the novel.

A whole slew of new emoji arrived on Oct. 28 when Apple released iOS 13.2. Many of these emoji are ones that Emojipedia previewed earlier this year, but there was no set release date at the time.

There are lots more options in the food section, too. We now have a waffle, butter, falafel, a mate drink, onion, and garlic. There are a total of 398 new emoji designs when you consider the number of gender and skin-tone options. This latest update comes about a year after the Apple iOS 12.1 update brought us new emoji like the llama and the bagel, but there's always more up emoji creators' sleeves.
For this newest release, Apple partnered with the nonprofit organization Unicode Consortium after proposing more representative emoji in a letter last Fall. Get excited as you catch a glimpse of all the new emoji, and be sure to update your phone to use 'em all.
