The 1976 horror classic The Omen is getting a prequel titled The First Omen, and it can finally answer some of the first movie’s biggest questions. In the 1960s and 1970s, the horror genre went through a wave of supernatural movies with religious themes, among them The Omen. Directed by Richard Donner and written by David Seltzer, The Omen introduced the audience to American diplomat Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) and his wife Kathy (Lee Remick), who were expecting their first child – sadly, the baby died immediately, but Robert agreed to secretly adopt another baby born at the same time, at the same hospital.
