Netflix's Rattlesnake, is about a woman trying desperately to spare her daughter's soul - and she only has until the end of the day to make a terrible decision. Director Zak Hilditch is back at Netflix for another chiller, this time a contemporary tale, in contrast to his period piece 1922. Katrina, played by Carmen Ejogo, is caught in the middle of a deadly curse she has to pay forward in order to save her daughter.
As the film correctly notes, the real legend of Stingy Jack partly inspired the tradition of Halloween jack-o-lanterns, first in the legend's native Ireland and then in the United States (via National Geographic). One difference, though, is that the film's version has been heavily altered in order to make Jack a clear villain. In the original folktale, Jack is a trickster who fools the Devil but is barred from Heaven due to his general unsavoriness, cursed to wander the Earth for eternity. The film's Stingy Jack is a more malevolent force, though the choice to give him such a violent backstory feels odd, especially when Mayor Tammy welcomes what appears to be Bridge Hollow's only Black family while wearing a sweater depicting a lynch mob.

Despite unleashing his ultimate curse technique and a special grade curse, Rika managed to wipe them out with one blast.
The Curse of Tippecanoe is an alleged curse claiming that any president elected or re-elected in a year with a zero at the end of it will die in office. William Henry Harrison (elected in 1840), Abraham Lincoln (elected in 1860), James A. Garfield (elected in 1880), William McKinley (re-elected in 1900), Warren G. Harding (elected in 1920), Franklin D. Roosevelt (re-elected in 1940) and John F. Kennedy (elected in 1960) are all believed to be victims of the curse as all mentioned presidents died in office Ronald Reagan (elected in 1980) is believed to have broken the curse as he narrowly survived an assassination attempt and went on to serve two full terms in the White House. This is supported by the fact that George W. Bush (elected in 2000) also served two full terms as president without any problems. But what if things had been different? What if Reagan hadn't survived? What if the curse continued to this date?
The Curse of Tippecanoe (also known as Tecumseh's Curse, the 20-year Curse[1] or the Zero Curse[2]) is an urban legend[3] about the deaths in office of presidents of the United States who were elected in years divisible by 20. According to the legend, Tenskwatawa, leader of Native American tribes defeated in 1811 at the Battle of Tippecanoe by a military expedition led by William Henry Harrison, had cursed the "Great White Fathers".
Thomas Jefferson (1800) and James Monroe (1820) preceded the supposed curse and outlived their presidencies by 17 and 6 years, respectively. Neither of them was ever targeted by an assassin. However, there is a curious coincidence that both men died on the Fourth of July.
In 1931 and 1948, the trivia book series Ripley's Believe It or Not! noted the pattern and termed it the "Curse of Tippecanoe".[4] Strange as It Seems by John Hix ran a cartoon prior to the election of 1940 titled "Curse over the White House!" and claimed that "In the last 100 years, Every U.S. President Elected at 20-Year Intervals Has Died In Office!"[5] In February 1960, journalist Ed Koterba noted that "The next President of the United States will face an eerie curse that for more than a century has hung over every chief executive elected in a year ending with zero."[6] Both of their hints at the elected president's death came true, with Roosevelt's death in 1945 and Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
The first written account to refer to the source of the curse was an article by Lloyd Shearer in 1980 in Parade magazine.[3] It is claimed[by whom?] that when Tecumseh was killed in a later battle, Tenskwatawa set a curse against Harrison.[2]
Running for re-election in 1980, President Jimmy Carter was asked about the curse at a campaign stop in Dayton, Ohio, on October 2 of that year while taking questions from the crowd. A high school student asked Carter if he was concerned about "predictions that every 20 years or election years ending in zero, the President dies in office." Carter replied, "I've seen those predictions. [...] I'm not afraid. If I knew it was going to happen, I would go ahead and be President and do the best I could till the last day I could."[7]
Since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, no president has died in office. Ronald Reagan was shot and wounded severely two months after his 1981 inauguration. Days after Reagan survived the shooting, columnist Jack Anderson wrote "Reagan and the Eerie Zero Factor" in The Daily Intelligencer and asserted that the 40th president either had disproved the superstition or had nine lives.[8] As the oldest man to be elected president at that time, Reagan also survived surgery in 1985. First Lady Nancy Reagan was reported to have hired psychics and astrologers to try to protect her husband from the effects of the curse.[9][10][11] Reagan left office in 1989 and ultimately died from natural causes in 2004. He was 93 years old and had survived his presidency by 15 years.
The only one of the eight presidents who died in office who was not elected in a year covered by the curse was Zachary Taylor, elected in 1848.[13] Like Reagan and Bush, many presidents outside the curse have faced assassination attempts or medical problems.
Snopes rates the claim that a "death curse threatens U.S. presidents elected in years evenly divisible by twenty" a legend and undocumented folktale not supported by actual records of Tecumseh cursing the "Great White Fathers" after his defeat at Tippecanoe.[14] Multiple sources have called the failure of the curse after 1960 a disproof of a curse as an explanation for the deaths in office.[citation needed]
According to Timothy Redmond of the Skeptical Inquirer, the supposed curse demonstrates a number of logical fallacies, including confusing correlation with causation, cherrypicking, and moving the goalposts. In layman's terms, out of many unlikely eerie patterns, at least one of those hypothetical patterns is likely to come true.[15] Snopes rates the curse on its fact-checking scale as a "legend", a rating given to over-general or unprovable claims, and denies a supernatural explanation for the curse.
In 2009, Steve Friess of Slate sought to interview notable presidential historians and security experts such as Michael Beschloss, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Richard A. Clarke on the alleged curse, but none of them returned his calls. Michael S. Sherry, American history professor at Northwestern University, replied, "I doubt I have anything profound to say about this particular factoid, odd though it is."[16]

George Eliot's life partner G. H. Lewes suggested 'The House of Tulliver, or, Life on the Floss' as a possible title, drawing attention to the tragic aspect of all the family relationships within the novel, not only that between Tom and Maggie, but also the unfortunate family squabbles between their father the hasty miller - who dies overwhelmed by grief at the loss of his mill - and his wife's relations, the redoubtable Dodson sisters. Lewes's suggestion, with its echo of the Greek story of the never-ending curse on succeeding generations in the House of Atreus, is true to the vein of allusion to Greek tragedy that runs through the narration of the novel. It was decided finally in January 1860, only a couple of months before publication, that the more neutral, descriptive title 'The Mill on the Floss' was the best one; George Eliot's publisher, John Blackwood, suggested it.
