Horror/Fantasy Fiction Series

I remember reading a series about 8 years ago that was centered around some sort of family curse. I think there was a generational element but I recall some sort of family heirloom as well. The family members/people around them die in tragic ways, I recall someone jumping off of a theatre balcony, falling into a boat motor, and a dog (and maybe another person?) being poisoned with a meat pie. I think their house burns down in the end. The covers of the books were typically dark with spot lights of sorts on the character faces.

Thank you for reading!
