Hattie sitting at a side table was a compromise. Clark Gable insisted she sit with the rest of the cast. They were going to stick her in the back somewhere. Props to Clark for being ahead of his time.

I firmly believe had Brandon Lee not died, he would have had an excellent career like his father. RIP 🙏

Robin Williams Suicide, I'll never forget where I was when that News Broke. Rest in Peace Robin Williams. 🙇🏿‍♂️

Hattie McDaniel seems a very humble person.

The loss of King T’challa. When I learnt that we lost Chadwick Boseman, it felt like a part of me just shattered 😢

Despite what's on the list, some honorable mentions for me are: (these could also be the saddest moments) - Robin Williams suicide - Chadwick Boseman's passing - Paul Walker's passing - Heath Ledger Edit: - Matthew Perry

This is the best video MOJO has produced. The tone is particularly respectful. And the very smart choice to not number each segment only adds to this solemn piece. Congratulations on this impressive video.

I would’ve added Phil Hartman’s Murder and Chris Farley’s death.

You forgot to mention that there was a real life serial killer on the set of The Exorcist. The radiologic technologist in the movie was a serial killer

Jerome Howard aka Curly's stroke and untimely death in 1952 was a certainly dark moment.

im surprise they didnt do one about Robin Williams

Phil Hartman's Murder Suicide I was in 6th Grade and across my TV screen read "Phil Hartman found dead in home victim of apparent gunshot wound".

The darkest moment of them all, is when the movie ends and the screen turns black

Marilyn Monroe was a great tragedy. I am a big fan. Rest in peace blonde bombshell.

Natasha Richardson’s death during a skiing accident was a moment for me. Robin Williams too.

Jean Harlow's untimely death. The plane crashes that killed Leslie Howard and Carole Lombard.

The Twilight Zone Helicopter Disaster that Killed Vic Morrow.

The supposed curse of the Omen movie. I swear, people always leave out this fascinating film

Jean Harlow's sudden and unexpected death (at the age 26), should of made the list. Carol Lombard's plane crash/death. The mismanagement of the legend Clara Bow as well. Yeah to name a few you forgot. But Harlow should of made the list. The original blonde bombshell, dead at 26. That was dark and shocking.

Brittany Murphy and husband died in a very suspicious way. Aaron Carter, Izaac Kappy, River Phoenix. In one serie called Glee three young people died mysteriously. Almost too many to mention which almost make you question….accident or…?

Funny story, my mom was born the day James Dean died, September 30, 1955. And my grandma use to tell me all the nurses were running around saying “oh my goodness, did you hear James Dean died, and my Grandma was like “who is James Dean” 😂😂

My honorable mention: Chadwick Boseman was already fatally ill during his amazing performance in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”

Brandon Lee will always be Eric Draven 😢

Judith Barsi know for her role Ducky Land Before Time Hello?

The stalking and subsequent murder of actress Rebecca Schaffer still affects me deeply to this day. I was a huge fan of her show My Sister Sam and she was murdered on my 11th birthday July 18th 1989. R.I.P. Rebecca!

Brandon lees death has always had an affect on me when I first watched the movie the crow and learned about his passing, it’s often not mentioned in lists like these so I’m very happy it was.

I can't believe Robin Williams' suicide didn't make the list. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia and chose to end his life instead of suffering. Doesn't that deserve to be on your list?

You forgot the passing of John Ritter. It was so sad.😢

I hope the whole “blackface & racist stereotypes” thing would die out, if that’s even possible that is!!!

the Marilyn Monroe one is just...

Y'all really left out Christopher Reeve? If it hadn't been for his accident, he would've been in a fifth Superman film. I'd say May 27th, 1995 was a pretty dark day as far as his fans were concerned. Same for October 10th, 2004, the date of his death from cardiac arrest.

James dean started the whole "Die young" phenomenon or curse in Hollywood followed by Marilyn, river Phoenix, Bruce Lee, John Belushi, Heath ledger.

Brandon Lee being killed during filming on set of The Crow was so sad. he had an amazing career ahead of him

You forgot about Fatty Arbuckle

I had no idea there were darkest moments in these movies! I feel sorry for the guy who has to live with what happened. And I feel bad for all the innocent victims!🙁 None of these things should have happened. Also, I've seen "West Side Story" and some of "The Wizard of Oz".

Possibly perfect timing for the publishment of this video just when Oshi no Ko began this week, which shows how the entertainment industry can be REALLY punishing sometimes.

Wow, the ill-treatment on the actors…just devastating. Both men and women should never be treated like that. Tragic indeed 😢😢😢

Who ever allowed the real bullet on set is to blame for the death.

I just love your lists Mojo!!!!

Brandon Lee died 15:03 because the movie cheaped out and didn't hire a gun expert for the movie. That was a shame as he was so fine and a good actor from what I seen anyways.

As far as RUST is concerned....the Armorer is the one at fault. They are 100% suppose to check and control all weapons on set, they also called out (quite loud and clear) "Cold Gun" before handing it to Baldwin.

Did the Academy ever rectify what they did to Hattie McDaniel?

You should do top 20 darkest moments in music history

In regards to the Manson fam, I really enjoy Tarantino's "what if" scenario of them in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Hattie McDaniel: The cast of GWtW wasn't going to go to the premier - LET ALONE the Oscars because of Hattie's treatment but she furiously yelled at them to go! The only reason she was even given a table at the Oscars was because of the cast's boycott! Thank God they did! John Wayne set: Not just the cast and Crew got sick, BUT they trucked hundreds of pounds of that sand TO HOLLYWOOD to the studio! Where it was used for scenes there in California! Meaning for a While - that Studio was contaminated! The living members of that movie and even Wayne in his biography talk about this - Wayne went to his grave blaming himself for this. All because he wanted to do something different then a western. Poltergiest: The bodies in the pool scene were real! From a cadaver academy. Rust/The Crow: These are accidents and because of what happened on the set of the Crow, there were Rules and Laws for the armory on the set to follow! - YES, Baldwin pulled the trigger - but as a person who has worked on sets with firearms - there is supposed to be two people looking at the weapons we are handed. Someone F'd up and a woman died. Baldwin, YES pulled the trigger - but he is supposed to be able to trust that the person handing the cast those props - checked them. This was beyond tragic and could have been prevented.

Hattie McDaniel was an amazing actress and I wish more people showed her the same support they do with others. Rest Easy Hattie McDaniels 💯🙏🏾💙✊🏾

Didn't help that the Duke smoked like a chimney too...

Alec Baldwin should’ve never been charged. The person who prepped the weapons was more subject, but because he was an A liar actor they put all the responsibility on him. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was set up based off his portrayal of one former president on SNL.

For me the darkest moment in film history is the death of composer James Horner in 2015 of an airplane crash. He couldn't finish writing the score for The Magnificent 7 (the new one) and his last films were Wolf Totem, Southpaw, The 33, and Living in the age of Airplanes. Countless Celebrities paid tribute to Horner on Twitter, those Celebrities being: Ron Howard, Russell Crowe, Céline Dion, Leona Lewis, Josh Groban and so on. Even Horner's personal assistant posted: "We lost an incredible person today with unbelievable talent. He died doing what he loved." RIP James Horner (1953 to 2015)

Hattie finally got the Oscar she rightly won. The academy decided that it was time she got her due

Robert Wagner did it

John Wayne was the biggest sob in the world

OJ simpson case ! .dont forger that OJ was an actor

There were many tragedies and scandals during the silent film era.

Treat every weapon as if it loaded. Never point a poentially loaded weapon at anyone. Keep every weapon secured until needed. Keep weapons pointed down range. These are rules everyone even on a film set. Never trust anyone always check the weapon yourself.

Vic Morrow died a hero though. He managed to save a couple of the kids by pushing them out the way and putting himself in the way. Total hero

Aurora CO? That was a tragedy.

Top Ten Most Unique Movies Example: Blair Witch Project

Why are real guns used to make movies? With all the special effects technology they have these days, are you telling me that they can't make a fake gun to use in the movies?

With the Wayne movie, one thing that is often over looked is the smoking and health habits of cast and crew. This was a different time. All of them chained smoked and did not have the healthiest eating habits

Brandon and the Alec Baldwin thing are scarily similar

One fan didn’t follow the warning after Belushi died and himself would die 15 years later Same agent same preventable horrific circumstance

You forgot to mention the serial killer that was in the movie The Exorcist. He was 8n the hospital scenes, and played the x-ray tech. That was his actual job, and that's how he got the part. He killed several gay men, and this was happening while making the movie.

James Dean: you're tearing me apart! Me: ...Lisa!

My honorable mentions: Robin Williams Paul Walker Judith Barsi Dominique Dunn Jean Harlow Heather O'Rourke

There is a story where Tippi Hedren said that her caracter Marnie should be blind, suggesting that only a blind woman could fall in love with someone who looks like Sean Connery. f the story is true, it shows that she wasn't very nice person. Of course that does not mean that she deserved to be mistreated.

So many dark stories and accidents. Awful. Marylin's death,Heath,Crow. I think Alec is innocent. Lives are ruined. I like the story about Hattie :) So nice of Clark Gable too

How is what happened on the set of The Crow different from what happened on the set of Rust involving Alec Baldwin? I don't recall any one person being vilified for the accidental killing of Brandon Lee but Alec Baldwin seems to be going through a lot with the accidental killing of the camera lady and shooting of the director who was standing right behind her. While I believe in justice for the victims of both tragic accidents, it seems to me that the emphasis should be on making sure something like this never EVER happens again!!

Watch that part about the film maker and Hitler....again....especially the part about Hitler and his rallies

Ngl, I clicked on this cuz I thought it was the darkest moments IN movies, not just surrounding them

Alfred Hitchcock apparently tested Tippie Hedren that way, because she rejected Hitchcock's sexual advances.

Being a child in the 70s watching the minstrels on tv not once did I think they were black people. Growing up alongside black children I knew the difference

Why Susan Hayward ever signed to play in THE CONQUEROR is a mystery. She was totally miscast as a Mongol princess. Curly red hair on an Asian woman??? The film literally killed her when she developed cancer later.

Judy Garland her life was no bed of roses when she was off set and at home.

how can you not talk about robin williams in a video like this?

Horror movies aren't cursed. Directors are selfish, ambivalent narcissists is more like it.

Dd you not forget a big mention of Angelina Jolie? Did she not confess torturing animals?

Surprised there is no mention of Roman Polanski

Here we are...

Vic Morrow was forgotten....

If Jimmy had lived. He would have lived with an undiagnosed brain injury.

Why is it that the commentary on EVERY SINGLE CLIP of Mojo is more important than what we are watching?

Brandon Lee was a great actor!

I still think Alec Baldwin is innocent, not his fault what happened.

Regarding The Exorcist: sounds like Mojo is confusing studio hype with reality.

Can you make a video about darkest moment in music history?

I might have known about Triumph Of The Will, don't know one about Brain Storm and Last Tango In Paris. I know some things about Black and Stereotypes and Hollywood Blacklist.

I think Robert Downy Jr is the only actor who has been accepted as wearing blackface-when I watched tropic thunder I didn't even know the actor was doing it until much later

John Wayne as Djinghis Khan must be the silliest casting ever.

Wow. Based on the comment section, A LOT of people were left off. I would have to agree.

Susan Hayward- another cast member of "The Barbarian" also succumbed to cancer.

I feel for Alec Baldwin. When I was in high school, I went to a prop store and told them I needed caps that could be fired against someone's head. I trusted that they knew what they were doing. When I went to load the prop gun, I happened to see the words "black powder". I don't know how I knew that was bad, but I did. My friend could easily have died.

What about Curly Howard's stroke?

Why are real weapons used when making movies! Accidents will continue to happen until they switch to prop guns.

No Robin Williams mention, no Carrie Fisher mention, no River Phoenix mention, show some respect to these deceased people

The Star Wars prequel trilogy.

What about Roman Polansky

No mention of Jon-Erik Hexum?

Watchmojo why are you not on my tv screen😢
