Based on the short story "The Colour Out of Space" by H.P. Lovecraft, The Curse opened in Los Angeles and New York on this day in 1987.
Trans World Entertainment and its successor company, Epic Pictures, used the Curse name for three more Italian-made horror films that they distributed in the United States, although they were narratively unrelated.
Fun fact: Italian maestro Lucio Fulci was billed as an associate producer and directed some scenes uncredited.
