Was there really a curse on King Tut’s tomb? Head over to the next page to read about the much-rumored curse of James Dean’s Little Bastard. Two doctors supposedly purchased the engine and transmission from the car, of whom one was killed and the other seriously injured in subsequent car accidents (though it hasn’t been confirmed that the deaths occurred in cars that contained Little Bastard’s parts).
