The cursed set of wizard of oz

[@SavedPuma]

I hate to be the umm actually guy. Her clothes didn't catch fire it was a failed stunt that left her face and hands burned. After reading an article to get my facts straight it said "on top of the burns. The makeup contained copper which was toxic if ingested. So the burns had to be cleaned with acetone."

[@CaseyKlobe]

No they had to well the make up artist doused her in alcohol

[@trinitynguyen-su8wh]

The wizard of oz always had an unsettling tone to it, like coraline unsettling. It’s almost like it’s just covering up the eeriness with the false happiness

76 people died. Including 9 Totos. And another 50 perished in the aftermath.

There was no curse there was only mistreatment of the actors. The hours that the actor's had to work we're extremely long and they didn't get enough sleep. Also the lines costume was made out of real life for so that the actor suffered from the Heat and the weight of the costume. And the man who played the Scarecrow had permanent scars from the makeup that was used similar to that the witch had green skin for a few weeks after the movie was finished.

This happened as people say that the wicked witch elphaba had toxic effects on her makeup and the tin man struggled with breathing problems on set!Also the lion man (idk his name)he was sweating as it was 30c in that room and also he had a 90pound real lion fur costume And finally we have Dorothy she had to take several Dr [_]g5 and a few years later she died because of that

[@JonathanSoto-r4s]

Fun fact the Lion suit was actually made by a real lion that they killed so yeah it's sad

[@nickk1424]

Less a dangerous set and more callous disregard for actors well being. Also health and safety was virtually nonexistent in those days. Asbestos snow. Makeup burns. Malfunctioning sets. Exploding broomstick. Heat stoke inducing Lion's costume. Not to mention the dark secrets going on behind the screen. Yeah Wizard Of Oz is one of those movies you enjoy on first watch but then grow disgusted with when you hear of it's production backstory.

Dorothy (Judy Garland) was 16, she was really abused and for her weight, other actors called her "fat ugly piggy". But margaret and her came along very well, because both of them had a forced diet. Judy, died due to her addiction of the pills that was used to make actors fall asleep, died at the age of 42.

[@TrangPakbaby]

She was 47 when she died.

[@Kjlitsqad]

I was in a production of The Wizard of Oz, we had to end 1 show at intermission because our Cowardly Lion had food poisoning and threw up twice backstage.

[@luluishereforyou]

they fed dorothy pills and called her a pig and the pills were so she lost weight and she didn’t get enough sleep, either.

[@TheeUnkillableCat]

*Everyone was harmed during the making of this movie*

[@Darnellkeller3]

[@BrielleD-l6q]

The cameraman had to slap Dorthy because so she can stop giggling 😢

[@TrangPakbaby]

[@stephaniecrawford9604]

[@trinitynguyen-su8wh]

Is this a joke or what?

[@daisywhite2565]

[@dcas3458]

Bro is it just me or is the lion creepy af

[@kikiojelabi]

not just you

[@kikiojelabi]

Some of this seems...off

[@TheRealSlayerOfFate]

You know what, wicked convinced me, there is no curse just mistrwatment of actors so i feel like they need to make a more ethical remake of this film with lots of both cgi and practical effects where safe. Lastly no wokeness.

[@UsamaArain-b4y]
