I haven’t read the article and I’m not a licensed Disneyologist, so that’s my disclaimer as well as defense for my stupidity.

I have a hard time thinking of this as a curse, though. This was a self-inflicted wound that was predictable. This isn’t whoops we accidentally opened the gates of Hell because we didn’t know any better. This is we forced a virgin to read some eerie Latin text in a book bound in human skin even though everybody told us it was a terrible idea and now this horny guy with a pitch fork is running around destroying our IP.
