About this episode

This episode explores the chilling elements and cultural impact of The Omen (1976).

This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, we invite you to the most cursed playdate in horror history as we unravel the sinister elegance of The Omen (1976) — the film that made everyone side-eye children named Damien and rethink babysitting forever. From decapitations to demonic dogs, we dive deep into Richard Donner’s devilishly smart direction, Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar-winning “Ave Satani,” and how one little boy became the ultimate #antichristicon. Join us for a chilling cocktail of #horrormovieanalysis, #filmhistory, and #occultcinema as we explore how The Omen turned Biblical dread into box-office gold and why its #filmlore is still whispered about in Hollywood’s shadowy corners. Expect spine-tingling #behindthescenes stories of real-life curses, unexpected lightning strikes, and the eerie coincidences that made this movie feel just a little too real. Whether you’re a #filmgeek dissecting cinematic sin or a #truehorrorfan craving vintage chills, this episode promises revelations darker than Sunday service. 👉 Hit play before the sixth day of the sixth month—and remember: it’s only a movie... right? You can send any questions about this episode and any general movie questions…
