Curse of the Demon is a 1957 British horror film directed by Jacques Tourneur and starring Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, and Niall MacGinnis. The film follows an American psychologist, Dr. John Holden, who investigates a cult and their leader, Julian Karswell, who is believed to have the power to summon a demon. The curse is said to result in the death of anyone who challenges Karswell's power. Holden initially dismisses the idea of the supernatural and believes that Karswell is simply a charlatan exploiting people's fears. However, as he delves deeper into the mystery, Holden begins to encounter strange occurrences and witnesses the deaths of those who have crossed Karswell.
Note: We typically add false inflation alerts on any items that have jumped 300% or more in price compared to our current listed price. We typically only do this for items costing >100,000 NP, or buyable items that have gone unbuyable. For example, an item that goes from 500 NP to 2,000 NP would not receive an alert. But an item that has a consistent history of being around 75,000 NP that sees a sudden jump to say, 250,000 NP, might be worthy of a warning.
