Hangman's Curse is a 2003 adaptation of the 2001 novel of the same name by Frank Peretti starring David Keith.At Rogers High School, two football players have been sidelined by vivid hallucinations of Abel Frye, a former student of the school who is rumored to have killed a popular girl in the school before hanging himself. After a third player starts hallucinating, the Springfield family gets brought in to investigate under the aegis of the Veritas Project. Nate Springfield (David Keith), the patriarch of the family, masquerades as a janitor while Elijah (Douglas Smith) and Elisha (Leighton Meester) pose as students and Sarah (Mel Harris), their mother, handles the science end of things.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Elijah and Elisha quickly find that a group of goths, led by Ian and Crystal, seem to know more than they let on, and may actually be choosing the targets for Frye. Things get complicated as Elisha starts to fall for Blake, one of the few jocks who haven't fallen prey to the curse.

Artistic License – Biology: Primarily regarding Arachnology: Yes, Kenyan wolf spiders do exist. However, their venom is harmless to humans and African spotted wolf spiders don't exist. Yes, there are spider hybrids. However, they seldom occur between two such different species. Related to the prior point, larger spiders typically have weaker venom, not stronger.
