Violet McGraw and Madeleine McGraw finally appear in a horror film together, The Curse of the Necklace, on which they also tackle Executive Producer roles for the first time.
Violet McGraw and Madeleine McGraw are horror queens all on their own, but now they are officially in a horror film together – The Curse of the Necklace. That’s not all though, they also are executive producers on the film. This is the first time they tackle this new role, and both claim it was a lot of work, but extremely worth it. Of course, it was also a lot of fun for them to get to experience this together.
The Curse of the Necklace follows a family as they navigate a turbulent 1960s dynamics. When their mom separates from her alcoholic husband, her daughters (played by Violet McGraw and Madeleine McGraw) grapple with changes. In order to try to win them back over, he gifts an antique necklace to his estranged wife, having no idea the dark force that it hides.
There Was A Three Hour Long Meeting To Determine What The Necklace Would Look Like
Tessa Smith: What was it like working as producers on this film for the first time?
Violet McGraw: It was a really great experience. We already knew that on that side of things, it was very hard and complicated and took a lot of work and effort. And now that we’re on that side of things, we’re like, oh, my gosh, our respect for them has just grown even higher. It was so cool. There are so many Zoom calls, like, we had a three-hour or more call one time just about what the necklace should look like. I didn’t know that there were three-hour calls about that stuff.
Madeleine McGraw: I don’t think my mind processed how many calls there were in general on the other side of things. So, yes, although I already had respect for everyone around me on set, including producers, my respect has grown. I don’t know how they do it all the time and so effortlessly. I hope everyone knows how much work goes on behind the camera, especially.

About The Curse of the Necklace
The Davis family is going through some tough times in 1960: Laura and Frank have separated because after years of Frank’s unpredictable alcohol infused temper, Laura has taken action and thrown him out of the house. She has gone back to work as a nurse which her 11-year-old Ellen and 16-year-old Judy, don’t like any more than their dad does.
To try to get Laura back, Frank gives her a beautiful antique necklace he finds in an old 1938 evidence bag at the station, and though Laura doesn’t want to be “bought,” Frank leaves the necklace at the house where Laura and the girls live.
Unfortunately, the necklace is a conduit for the tormented soul of an evil boy from long ago, and Laura and her daughters find themselves in terrible danger from a little boy who no longer exists.
The Curse of the Necklace is playing in theaters now.
