Six Hundred [and] Sixty-six

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.
Book of Revelation, Chapter 13 Verse 18

Now which film made biblical quotation famous?

Hmmm, maybe The Omen (1976) perhaps.

Even if it is very similar to Norman Bates and Psycho, closing shot of Harvey Stephens' chilling grin is an iconic moment in cinema history.

Richard Donner told youngster 'not' to smile.
Reverse psychology tactic worked a treat.

Shot for shot 2006 remake was more pointless than a broken pencil.

However, this was decent.

Just before Ambassador Steven Haines is incinerated, watch settles on 6:06.
In a fruitless attempt to capitalise on remake, 666: The Child was also released on June 6 2006.

666: The Beast followed a year later.

The similarly titled 666: The Devil's Child is completely unrelated.

One more.

Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return is the sixth in franchise.
