    The Omen is a very unsettling film with many strange occurrences that happened to many of the cast and crew during filming. One of the most frightening was one of the film crew had a car accident in France and his female passenger was killed and decapitated. We he was cut from the wreakage and regained consciousness he saw a road sign for the village of 'Oman' a few kilometres away. Love all your content Paul, Informative, interesting and conducted with dignity and respect.

    My first remembered Dr Who. Boy did those Cybermen scare me. He was a true gentleman. A relative on my in-laws side worked for him and when they married he, naturally, attended. It was noticed that he was missing during the taking of photographs. He didn't want the photographer to recognise him and notify the local press that he was there and therefore ruin the big day. Once he was informed that the photographer was family (my brother) he was more than happy to join in as an ordinary wedding guest. Such consideration.

    I remember this film and Patrick Troughton being in it. Found it funny in the scene where the guy gets his head cut off with the pane of glass and his head rolled to his feet. My thought was at least he can smell his own feet don't know why that thought entered my head lol

    Hi Paul,
    Thank you.
    It's amazing how just capturing a location on film, in mostly popular movies can turn that place or structure into an on going tourist destination, I guess that's the magic of movies.
    Which brings to mind also movie props which now fetch thousands in auctions.

    I watched The Omen many years ago; it's a very very good film. A friend at high school had 007 as his candidate number for the exams. Enjoyed this video, a little bit different. Although the scene in the film is just a few seconds long and Patrick Troughton was a superb actor, filming the scene probably took hours.

    Hi just watched your video if you like old churches there is one near me. St. Marys Church Harefield. dating back to 1100. Its still a fantastic church inside. The door is most times always open.The church inside shows you the complete history of the church itself and the surrounding Parish. Outside the Cemetery is full of soldiers who died in all the Wars through the years. Highly recommend a visit, if your passing through. It's easy to find because its the only church in the area and is well signed posted.

    Although I've seen "The Omen" many times over the years, I would love to see it in a Cinema with an audience. (Modern audiences reactions)
    The last Feature Film I went to see (the first part of "It") was disappointing, because I was the only person in the Venue, for that showing.
    Dudley Castle had an Outdoor Screening of "American Werewolf in London" a little while ago, but it was sold out, before I was aware of the screening.
