The Killian Curse is a New Zealand kidulthorror-fantasy television show, directed by Thomas Robins and Wayne Vinton. Starring Nick Blake and local New Zealand children, The Killian Curse tells the 21 stories of the students from Room 21, who must each face an evil curse placed on them by the sinister Charles Killian. Killian wants to get revenge on the people who caused his death shortly after founding the school in 1906. He needs to capture eleven souls to rise from the dead. There are two series which first aired in 2006 and 2008.^[3][4]

Premise[edit]

1906 Room 21 Students

The original students of Room 21 are caught doing a ritual led by Killian. The parents banished him, but a fire broke out during a struggle which eventually burned the interior of the classroom, killing Killian in the process. Before dying, he swore to get revenge by stealing the eleven souls needed to return from the dead. Killian also said that parents would be blind to the suffering of their children. It is only the other classmates of Room 21 who can see what is happening. One of the kids from present day Room 21 (and narrator of the events of 1906) happens to be the great, great grandson of the man directly responsible for Killian's death. The great, great grandfather and the others in the room at the time of Killian's death are presumed to be ancestors of the current kids in room 21. Shortly after, the room is sealed 'forever', forever lasting until 2006, when the story begins. Some people who have watched it have been paranoid by the number 21 and have been seeing it quite a lot of times.

2006 Room 21 Students

After 100 years, Room 21 is unsealed by a principal who does not believe in curses and it is up to the school janitor to tell the students about the curse. Some are skeptical until the first victim is taken. Filmed 2005–2006.

2008 (set in 2007) Room 21 Students

It has been a year and the last year students of Room 21 still got called out into the Room 21 Class. They all got their souls back but some were repossessed. Those students are stuck in Killian's World/Lair. On Earth they're zombies but to adults they are just normal. This series was filmed in 2007.

Jack challenges Killian, saying it is just a dream but is overpowered. Killian then says that they will all be experiencing the curse for another year, with one of them helping him. They all reawaken to be placed back in room 21. The Principal also has them sign a contract to say that they will not talk of the curse for that year before introducing Billie, an exchange student from America who is automatically under suspicion. Jack puts in a buddy system so that Killian will not get anyone on their own.

Celia and Jack – She attempts to defeat a giant moth demon by getting all the kids in Room 21 to attack it, but the traitor turns on a torch in Celia's eyes and the moth takes Celia's soul. Jack hits it a few times then the traitor turns on the torch again this time in Jack's eyes. Then the moth takes Jack's soul. Owen beats it.

Camping/Virus/Hand[edit]

Miles – Room 21 except Shane to go on a school camp, when the same demon (Werewolf Jed Brophy) from Owen's last curse shows up and attacks them. They all split up and trap the wolf, but it was not after Owen. It was after Miles, who was not helping and was back at the camp. They ran back to the camp to find him tied up and his soul taken by the werewolf's wife. Billie showed everyone Karen's hand that had the rope burn because she pulled the rope too tightly when she was fixing her tent at the beginning if the episode. The traitor actually tied him up. '21' was shown on Johnny's digital watch.

Shane – His curse was a computer virus that affected him in the form of living mucus while he was home sick. He defeats it after he clicks 'Destroy virus' on his computer. The traitor is there, trying not to help Shane. '21' was found on the chat screen.

Karen – Continuing from Miles' 2nd curse, her possessed hand forces her to do bad things like hitting other students and destroying a gift from a sister school. She defeats it by pulling it off with a wood vice and dodging it so it flew out the window into a box of charity toys. The traitor locks her in a room but she manages to escape. '21' appeared when it was written on a piece of paper by Karen's possessed hand.

Shrinking/Game/Past[edit]

Johnny – His curse is shrinking that at first attributes to his losing weight. He was knocked off a ledge where he is attacked by a larger than normal spider. The curse is defeated when he gets an allergic reaction to a bee sting. '21' was shown on Johnny's drink bottle.

Te Aroha – Her curse was when she went back in time into the past years of Killian High. She met a spirit that warned her about three 19th-century bullies that Killian had sent. The bullies chased her onto a train where Killian asked her for her ticket, then the train pulled her into the world of lost souls where she saw Jack.

The Killian Curse Season 1 Episode 1 Recap

Will – He brought back the voodoo doll from his last curse (when Karen made the voodoo doll of Keith but it ended up affecting Will) because he did not believe it was safe with the Traitor around and knew it still worked. The traitor took the doll, and pulled Will's legs and arm off and put them in the school furnace. Karen managed to save the doll and sew his arms and legs back on. '21' was found on top of The Anti-Killian Meeting door.

David – His curse was on Killian's Island (a nod to Survivor). He is tripped over during the chase for immunity and all the boys blamed him to be the traitor. They voted him out and Killian took his soul. The 'credits' for Killian's Island read 'Room 21'.

Time/Dolls/Magic[edit]

Haley – Her curse is when a time demon that can stop time with a clock that can go back or forward to any time by changing the time on it. Haley defeats the demon by snatching the clock from it and turning the time backwards to the time Haley found out about her curse and smashing it. The demon accidentally reveals that the Traitor is a girl. The number 21 was found on an encyclopedia in the library.

Charlotte – Her curse is when her china dolls come to life. First she takes a china doll off a girl and takes it home. The doll starts her curse. She tries to defeat them by smashing them but they shrink her. She wakes up as a doll herself, and another doll pulls her into the house and takes her soul. The number 21 was found on one of Charlotte's rulers.

Karl – His curse was at Shane's house on his birthday when the magician made Karl disappear. He then was taken to a different stage and was forced to perform the art of escapology. He was lifted into the air and dangled above a chainsaw while tied in chains. He had 30 seconds to escape but failed and had his soul removed. The number 21 appeared when the magician changed the track on the CD player to track 21.

Dead Man/Movies/Drawing[edit]

Owen – His curse was a dead man under Killian's command, who tries to take his soul during his work experience at a funeral parlor. The dead man nails him into a coffin and tries to put him into a cremation furnace, but he gets his chain and loops it over a bolt on the conveyor. The traitor, however, takes it off, so Owen bangs his coffin off the conveyor, opening it again and defeating his curse. The number 21 was mentioned when he read that the man had died on 21 February 2007.

Tabetha – Her curse was when she was sent into a movie by Killian and had to fight her way past a Hookman-themed demon in a stereotypical horror movie plot. She ran away from the demon into the basement. The demon started to fire shots at her and eventually hit the main circuit board allowing Tabetha to escape and defeat the curse. The number 21 appeared when she sat in seat number 21.

Katie and Keith – Her curse was when she draws a demon taking Keith's soul. The next day it comes true and her classmates get suspicious. When a two-dimensional comic demon started attacking her and gives the headmaster a heart attack, she realises she can control the demon by drawing in her book. Katie then had to shrink the demon, step on him, and burn him alive. 21 was mentioned when Katie's pens rolled together to make 2 and 1.

Reflection Demon[edit]

Billie – Billie was the last student to have to face her demon. Hers was a reflection demon that affected the real world. She confronted it in a school bathroom and it tried to take her soul. The rest of the class helped her get away. The traitor is then revealed to be Jen, who was possessed during the first episode. Then everyone whose soul was never taken went through the portal to Killian's world. After that Killian locked them with a Latin Spell and try to take their souls instead of the others, who had escaped, but eventually he disappeared when a giant rabbit (from Karl's curse) pulled him down when he was rising to go to earth and fought him. After they all looked up at the portal as it closed. They were stuck in Killian's world.

• Chelsea did not get a curse because she went to live with Billie's family while Billie stayed with her family.

The Traitor[edit]

In the new year at Killian High, Killian warned the Room 21 students that there was a traitor among them. Since there was a new girl Billie, everyone thought it was her.

Afterwards the traitor lets go of Byron but said he let go, shone a torch in Celia and Jack's eyes, took Will's Voodoo doll, tripped David over as he was running away from demons on Killian's Island, tried to stop Elizabeth exiting her cursed kendo game, ties up Miles, pushes Johnny off the desk when he shrunk, stealing Elizabeth's phone and then pretending to be Elizabeth before telling Te Aroha to go to the train station, takes off a chain to put Owen through a crematorium, locks the door when Karen is given her 'punishment', locks the door of the bathroom and pushes Billie in through the mirror.

Most people in Room 21 are accused of being the traitor, including Karen (because of the rope burn on her hand), Katie (because of her drawing made Keith lose his soul), Tabetha (calling Owen making the dead man find his hiding spot) and David (because he was thought to have taken Will's Voodoo doll) just to name a few. But Billie is normally the one who get the blame for the traitor's actions. If one was to watch closely you can tell it is not her for a number of reasons.

• The Traitor always wears a jumper (or something that hides their face), and Billie does not wear a jumper until the last two episodes.
• The Traitor drops a scarf in Elizabeth's curse, there is no evidence that Billie owns a scarf (All the kids in the first series wore scarfs).
• In Miles' curse, someone is seen running away from the group during their chase in the woods. Their hair is blonde, but it is not curly (like Billie's) and it is plaited. In that situation only Jen and Karen's hair was plaited.
• The Traitor has grey socks and proper school shoes (as seen in Will's curse). Billie wears white socks and ballet flats with her uniform until the last two episodes.
• Billie's skirt is shorter than the other kids' skirts and shorts. In Will's curse one can see the back of the traitor. Their skirt/shorts are down to just above the knee.

In the final episode the traitor was revealed to be Jen, although she was being controlled by a demon (that possessed her on the first episode, when she disappeared while with Byron) who would take her soul for themself instead of Killian having it. In the end when they defeated Killian with the demon from Karl's curse, the Rabbit, the whole of Room 21 was stuck in Killian's world even though he was defeated. It still looked as if they had their souls taken out as they could not get out as the portal closed. It looks like 10 of the 11 students of Room 21 will never get out.

Home release[edit]

The DVD release of The Killian Curse was due to have been around a week after the final episode was broadcast, but was delayed for unknown reasons. It was eventually released on 14 December 2006.

The DVD differs from the broadcast version, as it is shown in 16:9 widescreen whereas free-to-air New Zealand television (as well as some of the pay TV channels) still broadcast in standard 4:3 format. There is currently no DVD of the second series.

Awards[edit]

The Killian Curse won 'Achievement in Sound Design in General Television' at the Qantas Film and Television Awards 2008.^{[citation needed]}.It was nominated for 'Best Children's Programme' at the Air New Zealand Screen Awards 2007.^[5]

• The Killian Curse on IMDb

Once Upon A Time in Wonderland has landed on Disney+.

Now that everybody has had the chance to binge it, let's discuss a truth universally acknowledged by all those who have seen both spinoff and original series:

Will Scarlet was screwed over!

Will was the best part of Once Upon A Time in Wonderland. No disrespect to Alice, Anastasia, Jafar, or even Cyrus.

We love Alice. She's a badass!

Anastasia had a beautiful arc, and she's a beautiful person inside and out.

Jafar was scary as F*#*@!

And while Cyrus was no Prince Charming, he had a charm all his own.

But let's not kid ourselves. Wonderland would not have been half as enjoyable without a certain thief.

The Knave of Hearts, AKA Will Scarlet, started as comic relief. He helped Alice, and we thought he might be in a love triangle with Alice and Cyrus.

Instead, we got the only boy/girl bromance in the Onceverse, a tragedy in and of itself. Will loved Alice like a sister.

He jumped into the water to save her life, even though he couldn't swim, because he didn't know how to lose her. Those two were #friendshipgoals!

He also had an epic love. Initially, it seemed we were meant to invest in Alice and Cyrus as the show's great love story. Don't get me wrong; they held their own.

However, from the moment we found out Will's old love, Ana was also The Red Queen, we were caught up in that tale of heartbreak.

Will was just a thief who risked it all for love and got burned. He was literally a man without a heart!

Yet he was so full of love that he put himself on the line for Alice, Lizard, and the good people of Wonderland, even without his heart beating in his chest.

Will became a true hero of the show, and when the dust settled, he had a true love and a true friend to show for it. Wonderland ended on a happy note.

However, it also ended. Fans wanted more from Will Scarlet, and the writers seemed to think they could deliver. They promised to bring him over to the main series, and boy, were we excited!

It did bring up some questions, though. The last time we saw him, Will was happy with Ana. There were no reports of Emma Rigby joining the main cast, which left us wondering. Did they recast her or something worse?

Sure enough, when Will showed up in Storybrooke on Once Upon A Time Season 4 Episode 3, he was alone.

He was stealing again. However, he no longer seemed very good at it. He kept getting caught or beat up, and he couldn't seem to pick a lock or win a fight. What happened to the Jack of all trades?

The Killian Curse Season 1 Episode 1 Episode 1

On Once Upon A Time Season 4 Episode 4, Will tried to steal a copy of Alice in Wonderland from the Storybrooke library, and he ripped out the page with The Red Queen.

When Emma asked him about it, he looked heartbroken, but he wouldn't tell her anything.

It seemed like he had regressed to the man he was before the White Rabbit came to get him on Once Upon A Time in Wonderland Season 1 Episode 1.

Fans were told that Once Upon A Time Season 4 was after Wonderland. For proof, on Once Upon A Time Season 4 Episode 11, Will was affected by the curse of shattered sight, but Killian wasn't. Killian, at the time, didn't have a heart. Will clearly did.

We were also reassured that Will's backsliding and Ana's absence would be explained in the latter half of the season in time. That never happened. Instead, we got ScarletBeauty.

Now, I love RedScarlet almost as much as I love Rumbelle. So seeing either Belle or Will single and dating other people was not exactly something I relished.

However, I love Belle, and I love Will. They are great characters, and they actually have a lot in common. Both had an epic love, then got their hearts broken when their loved one chose evil.

I was open to seeing how Belle and Will's romance would play out. Would they be a great 'ship that got us over all the angst and tragedy of Rumbelle?

No. No, they would not. I haven't clocked it, but I'd be willing to wager that if you added up all the moments that Will and Belle had on screen together, it wouldn't be more than five minutes.

We didn't even see them together until Once Upon A Time Season 4 Episode 14 when Rumple saw them kissing. Now, the writers clearly wanted us to feel Rumple's shock at that moment. Fine, writers; we were shocked. What about after?

We saw them on one date on Once Upon A Time Season 4 Episode 15, Belle said one or two sentences to Will, and then they got interrupted by Rumple posing as Killian, and then it was over.

He helped Rumple steal Belle's heart back on Once Upon A Time Season 4 Episode 20, but he interacted more with Rumple than Belle there. When she got her heart back in her chest, Belle only had eyes for Rumple.

That would be the perfect time for the two to talk about their issues. Will could have explained what he went through not having his heart and how he forgave Ana for being a villain and hurting him like she did.

Instead, we got an off-hand comment from Belle on Once Upon A Time Season 4 Episode 23 that she didn't love Will. We didn't see them together, and we didn't see them break up. We just assumed they did.

When Will was first brought in for Once Upon A Time Season 4, he was a series regular. However, after doing little to nothing on the show, he was demoted on Once Upon A Time Season 5, and after doing one or two scenes, he left the show.

Nobody can blame the actor for leaving. He wasn't doing anything on the show. He was a rebound for Belle, a convenient, listening ear for Robin, and the guy who could give Hook a magic mushroom when it's convenient.

However, since they destroyed the happy ending he had on Wonderland to bring him into the main series and then didn't even use him, you'd think they'd explain what became of him. They owed him -- and the audience -- a few answers.

On Once Upon A Time In Wonderland Season 1 Episode 13, Alice read a book to her daughter saying Will and Ana became White King and Queen, and they lived happily ever after.

We hope this is true and that the events on Once Upon A Time were just a weird blip in Will's life. It would be tragic if RedScarlet were broken up for nothing. Well, they were, but it would have been tragic if they didn't reconcile.

We'll never know, really. We never saw Will and Ana again, and we have no clue what happened to them.

The Killian Curse Season 1 Episode 13

At one point, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz promised to do a stand-alone episode where we checked in with Will and Ana, but it never happened. We were more disappointed than surprised because those guys broke promises all the time.

Some horrible things were done over the course of seven seasons, but the treatment of Will Scarlet might have been the worst. He deserved so much better!

Do you agree with us about Will deserving better? Did you want more of him with Belle, or were you RedScarlet all the way? Do you have a theory as to why Will was alone in Storybrooke?

Let us know in the comments.
