Let’s take a look into the world of series and movies to discover some anecdotes that will make you smile… and also tremble…

The curse of “The Exorcist”.

Among the most outstanding curiosities we can find the curse of The Exorcist. Did you know that it has a black legend behind it? And it seemed that the main characters were doomed to suffer accidents of pure bad luck, to the point that more than one of them died.

Inspiration from Game of Thrones

George J. J. Martin was inspired by the history of England to write his famous fantasy saga A Song of Ice and Fire. The famous television series, Game of Thrones, takes its title from the first book.

Within this first book, or first season of the series, there is a confrontation between the House of Stark and the House of Lannister. This confrontation was directly inspired by the War of the Two Roses, which pitted the House of Lancaster against the House of York.

In addition, in Britain there was also a wall, Hadrian’s Wall, which separated the Celts from the province of Britain. The Celts were considered savages because they attacked the people, and on top of that, the Night’s Watch is a reflection of the Templars.

Kate Winsley nude drawing
