It was investigated, and there were no signs of arson, no electrical fire. Among the key props destroyed in the fire: the imitation dybbuk box used during filming.
Co-star Natasha Calis tells THR that the real-life owners of the box offered to allow its use during filming or to bring for an on-set visit, but the cast and crew politely declined. Director Ole Bornedal did, however, opt for hundreds of authentic props in the form of live moths for one crucial scene. No one ever had to answer for the origin of the mogwai in an otherwise ordinary world.
That wooden box held the potential for absolute splendor or widespread chaos, an outcome to be decided by the ability of one teenage boy to follow directions. Could you imagine the ending of that film if it were left up to a teenager today, no thank you! Without these boxes, ghosts would run amok and never make it to the containment unit.

The box in and of itself is a puzzle, as are its contents. Does it release pleasure or pain? Why do people seek it out? Why is it so alluring? This may be one of the most recognizable and memorable boxes in the history of horror. It serves importantly to conceal and contain, and it evokes the curiosity of a cat on its ninth life. The best part about this movie is that it all unfolds in the home of a young Jennifer Aniston as Tory Reddington , who totes a shot gun and a killer pair of L.
I was adamantly against it. If you go and you look at what has happened to people that have had contact with an actual dybbuk box, it's not good stuff. It's not like demons flying around but it's like trees crushing your house, weird rashes.
Why risk that? There are a lot of great exorcism movies out there. Besides the actual box, how else is this movie going to stand out from other possession films?

JDM: They shot the heck out of it, certainly. She's right in the fact that it's going to look a lot richer than a lot of the horror movies that have come out, especially in the last 20 years.
But this really is a throwback to The Exorcist , The Omen. A lot of the stuff that we see in the genre now is a lot of found footage, shaky camera. That drives me crazy, that's not the movie I certainly wanted to go in and make. She started to cry.

The next day his visitors all reported having had the same nightmare, about an abusive hag. Once, while trying to research the box on the Internet, he fell asleep and again dreamed of the hag. Upon waking, he had the feeling that someone was breathing on his neck and glimpsed one of the shadow things loping away down the hallway.
Enough was enough. Concerned that if he destroyed the box, whatever entity it contained might stay with him, Mannis decided to sell it. Help me. Haxton was intrigued, and was soon able to buy the box himself when the student resold it on eBay several months later. In his note, the student said he had trouble sleeping, saw large vertical blurs in his peripheral vision, and had started to lose his hair.
On Feb. Although Haxton was interested in the stories surrounding the box, he actually bought it for a magician friend named Michael Callahan, who planned to incorporate it into his act. Haxton also ran a black light over it in a futile attempt to locate any kind of residue that might explain the smell of cat urine that Mannis mentioned.
But when Haxton removed his gloves, he says, the box felt warm, and the wood seemed to shift beneath his fingers, as if it had a pulse. Suddenly, while his palms were still on the box, he felt a pain erupt in his side and migrate into his stomach, where it bothered him for hours.
