Yeah there supposedly was some kind of curse or just strange coincidences
(Copy and pasted from Wikipedia) "Many cast members met unfortunate fates after the film wrapped, giving rise to an urban legend that Incubus was a cursed production.
* Actor Milos Milos killed his girlfriend (the estranged wife of Mickey Rooney, Barbara Ann Thomason Rooney) and himself in 1966[1]. * Actress Ann Atmar committed suicide weeks after the film wrapped[1]. * The daughter of actress Eloise Hardt was kidnapped and murdered[1]. * Director Leslie Stevens and actress Allyson Ames divorced, and Stevens' production company Daystar went bankrupt[1].
I've seen Incubus - even have a copy of it (you can get it on Amazon.com). I found it fun to watch, but the dialog hard to follow in Esperanto due to the atrocious pronunciaton :-).
... this one time lost film and language
Don't know if the word "lost" is meant to apply to both "film" and "language", or just to "film". I suspect the latter, but in case it's the former, while not spoken by everyone, Esperanto does have a solid community of about 2,000,000 speakers and growing the world over who use it regularly. More "underappreciated" than "lost".

The demon is amazing, and Shatner was totally Shatner.
All sorts of weird stuff surrounded the cast of this movie including murders and suicides.

I was referring to the film as being once lost. I had no idea so many people speak it these days.
An under-appreciated film. Nice to see it here!
Didn't French & Saunders spoof this?
