The Killian Curse is a New Zealand kidult horror-fantasy television show, directed by Thomas Robins and Wayne Vinton.

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.

From the time of shooting the first series, the oldest was 16 (Ivana Palezevic, Tabatha) and the youngest was 11 (Georgia Fabish, Celia).

The kids in character alphabetical order; The first series was initially screened in New Zealand on 21 July 2006 on TV2.

They heard a scream and when the whole class found David, his soul was taken, starting the curse.

Mr. Timmins wrote the number 21 on the blackboard after Celia answered a maths question he asked.

Johnny – He was taken to hospital when his bike crashed which he was chased by an ambulance who turns out to be a warlock who wants his fat.

Will – In an attempt to cause Keith some pain, Karen sets up a voodoo doll that ends up affecting Will instead.

The number 21 manifested as a shadow formed by a toy swan's neck and a candle on Jen's bedroom wall.

Chelsea – A vanity curse made her fall apart, but it was defeated by allowing people to look at her.

The number 21 appeared when the vampire, disguised as a blood donor, offered Haley biscuits and said that she had been "so helpful, she could take... 21" Byron – He tried to escape a car demon by attempting to jump the gap across an unfinished bridge.

Killian summoned the ghost of the ex-drama teacher so he could get her soul but decided to take part in the play first.

During the play Tabetha set up an exorcism and banished the ghost back to the spirit world.

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.

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.

Billie showed everyone Karen's rope-burned hand suspecting her to be the culprit, however it was because she pulled the rope too tightly when she was fixing her tent at the beginning of the episode.

Shane – His curse was a computer virus that affected him in the form of living mucus while he was home sick.

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.

Te Aroha – Her curse was when she went back in time into the past years of Killian High.

Owen – His curse was a dead man possessed by Killian 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 demon started to fire shots at her and eventually hit the main circuit board allowing Tabetha to escape and defeat the curse.

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.

The Traitor commits multiple heinous acts against her classmates, such as letting go of Byron after being told to, letting Jack and Celia be killed by the giant moth, taking Will's Voodoo doll, tripping David over as he was running away from demons on Killian's Island, trying to stop Elizabeth from exiting her cursed kendo game, tying up Miles, throwing Johnny off the desk while shrunken, stealing Elizabeth's phone and then using it to lure Te Aroha to the train station, letting Owen through a crematorium, locking the door when Karen is wrongly punished, 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 possessing it), Katie (because 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.

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.
