“The Omen,” produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox Film, was the first in the horror movie series. It was released in U.S. theaters on June 25, 1976. Here’s the original publicity poster for the film, as well as the trailer:
“When Kathy Thorn (Lee Remick) gives birth to a stillborn baby, her husband Robert (Gregory Peck) substitutes an orphaned infant for their own – unaware of the child’s satanic origins,” according to 20th Century Fox UK’s official page for the film.
“The Omen” also starred David Warner, Billie Whitelaw and Harvey Stephens. The film was directed by Richard Donner and written by David Seltzer.
