I'm out of the loop but I was training one of my clients and she told me about the urban legends with THREE MEN AND A BABY where the ghost of a child who killed himself with a shotgun appears in a scene behind a curtain and another legend where A munchikin hung himself on set.

This is the link to the wiz of oz

Now this scared me a bit but after watching this constantly, I have to say that it looks like a freakin bird.

The 3Men and a baby I heard was a cutout of Ted Dannson and was put on set by accident; it scared the %&%%^ out of me. To this day, as the big movie buff that I am, I NEVER SAW THE WIZARD OF OZ or 3 MEN AND A BABY AND I DONT PLAN ON WATCHING THREE JAGOFFS TAKING CARE OF A BRAT. I saw the Wiz but something about the Wizard of Oz freaked me out to the point where I never watched it.

Another Legend I heard about this freaky movie is if you play PINK FLOYD'S DARK SIDE OF THE MOON album at the same time watching the movie, it plays like a soundtrack. See...FREAKY.

Also for your entertainment, this is for all the GIRLS who love THE LITTLE MERMAID

is that the song playing backwards? I heard something about that.

They also have that legend with 2PAC on one of his songs in the very beginning, almost half a second, he utters "Suge shot me"

what about the alleged curse of "poltergeist"?

I love that movie. 2 of the 3 kids died not long after the filming.

My dad worked for MGM for 23 years. He had mentioned this from his earlier years at the studio (no I wasn't born yet - LOL), when I was young as one of the many crew accidents on set. In later years, the story changed to having it be the director's son, but the director didn't have a son. The latest, thanks to youtube and people's imagination, is that it's a munchkin, but if you look closely, the figure is to long to be a little person/munchkin.

The 3 Men and a Baby thing is a life size cutout of Ted Danson.

Don't you just love those legends!?!

As for Poltergeist, too bad those aren't legends. Little Heather died before they finished filming P3. They used a photo double for the remaining scenes, not showing the actor's face.
