The Librarian movie, the new one, Curse of the Judas Chalice, are they making it up?
Is there a story behind it, becuase the first two movies had a story behind them.

The Gospel of Matthew says that, after Jesus’ arrest by the Roman authorities (but before his execution), the guilt-ridden Judas returned the bribe to the priests and committed suicide by hanging himself. The priests were forbidden by Jewish law from returning the money to the treasury so they used it to buy the potter’s field [10] in order to bury strangers. The Gospel (Matthew 27:9-10) presents this as fulfilment of prophecy.
The Acts of the Apostles (1:18) says that Judas used the bribe to buy a field, but fell down, and burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. This field is called Akeldama or Field Of Blood. Acts 1 goes on to describe how his place among the apostles was subsequently filled by Matthias.

Yet another account was preserved by the early Christian leader, Papias: "Judas walked about in this world a sad example of impiety; for his body having swollen to such an extent that he could not pass where a chariot could pass easily, he was crushed by the chariot, so that his bowels gushed out." [11]

In the Gospel of Judas, it is implied that the other Apostles stoned him to death for his perceived betrayal.

In short, the money went for Judas’ burial so unless the land owner made a cup the story is pure fiction derived from countless vampire movies that argue that Dracula is Judas.

Oh and it was the centurian who stabbed jesus to see if he was dead that was supposed to have walked the earth forever.
