Max Ernst and Deadly Roosters

The sequence starts out tamely enough, with a figure leaping back from a small rooster. In the background, we see a figure crumpled in a heap at the bottom of the stairs, but no foul play is seen.

She knows though, that the roosters bring bad luck, so she was trying to steer clear. When it brought about her death, the rooster came back and began to haunt her mortician, and followed him home to haunt his family, and possess him which turned him into a where-rooster. Wherever he went after that, he brought death and tragedy, and the spirit of the rooster began to drive him mad. His family, his work, his wife, all suffered from his tragic luck. In the end he hoped to pass on the curse to another victim, with hope that it would free him and turn him human again.
