    This movie was the first time I experienced people in the theater yelling instructions the screen. And it started with my dad yelling "They stayed in the house?!? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STAYING IN THE HOUSE?!?!?"
    Almost 40 years later, you are right there with those people Emily.

    Regarding the last fifteen minutes of the movie, I totally relate. It's something my dad would have done too. Back in the 70's a train loaded with artillery headed for Vietnam was passing through my town trainyard and for what ever reason began to explode. Our house was about 6 miles from the tracks and it still knocked windows out. My dad piled us kids in the car and we raced off toward the explosions to watch and we stopped about a 1/2 mile away. I was terrified and begged to go back home, but my dad was having a helluva time watching the explosions and we stayed for quite a while. So staying in a haunted house would have been right up my dad's alley.

    Fun Fact: Poltergeist is based on an early script that Steven Spielberg wrote in the 1970s called 'Night Skies,' which was originally intended as a sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It was a horror movie about aliens terrorizing a family in a farm house and was loosely based on the Kelly-Hopkinsville UFO encounter in 1955. The movie never got made, but elements of the script ended up in Poltergeist, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, and Gremlins.

      Production designer, Ron Cobb Alien, Aliens, The Last Starfighter), was supposed to direct "Night Skies". Rick Baker was working on aliens for the film. When the project fell through, Spielberg wouldn't give him back his designs and prototypes. Baker later claimed that ET was based on the work he did for "Night Skies".

    • @RaptorNX01
      @RaptorNX01 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@44excalibur Yeah, Signs is structurally almost identical to the short story "The Birds" that the film is based on. and in fact I think Signs does an even better job of matching the tone of the story then even Hitchcock's film did. there's this overwhelming sense of dread thru the whole thing that i always felt the original film never quite captured. (probably has to do with the additional scenes and adding in Tippy Hedren's character instead of just focusing on the family like the story did.)
      the only thing M Night didn't do, that hitchcock didn't either, was the aspect of the attacks coming in waves. in the story the birds came in on the tides. there even a "shot" of, during one of the lulls, the father looking out over the ocean and seeing all the birds just hovering off shore, waiting for high tide. flowing up and down with the waves. such a creepy bit that I hope gets included if they ever readapt it.
      worth a read.

    One of the things I love about Spielberg movies is parents being people. They aren't saints, they aren't perfect, but God, they are doing their best. The older I get, the more I find myself relating to them.
    Incidentally, the Poltergeist productions had a couple of deaths related to them (some naturally occurring, but others not). The actress who played the teenage daughter was strangled to death by an abusive former boyfriend at the age of 22, and the little girl who played Carol Anne starred in all three Poltergeist films, but died at the age of 12 (due to a hospital misdiagnosis). There seemed to be a lot of stuff like that surrounding the production (the boy was almost strangled to death by the clown prop on the first take).

    I love this film so much. A huge part of my childhood (albeit probably contributing to me thinking my weird Popeye wallpaper was moving!) It has a lovely gentle touch amid all the stress. A genuinely fully portrayed family, no vindictive people (just a jerk or two), and a nice sense at the end that vindication is sorted ... yet also a genuine nightmare to get through, regardless. I also very much adored the mum (and probably admired the dad) when I wasn't even quite a teenager!

Another one is when they are sitting at the table and just moving their food around on the plate, but never actually eating it.

    The film really isn't about a poltergeist, If you pay attention to the films subtext, its actually about the TV. The evil presence in the house which takes Carrol Ann away from the family is the TV set, its the first thing you see in the film, and the last thing you see, when they kick a TV set out of the motel room.
    The scene when the Father and the next door neighbour are arguing over the remote.
    And when Carrol Ann says "Theyyyyre Heeere" the Mum asks her who did you mean and she replies "The TV people"
    When you listen to the Tangina Monolog again with the realisation she is talking about the TV it really makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up on end.
    " There's one more thing - a terrible presence is in there with her. So much rage, so much betrayal. I've never sensed anything like it. I don't know what hovers over this house, but it was strong enough to punch a hole into this world and take your daughter away from you. It keeps Carol Anne very close to it and away from the spectral light. IT LIES TO HER. It says things only a child can understand. He's been using her to restrain the others. To her, it simply is another child. To us, it is the Beast. Now let's go get your daughter."

    • @rocketmunkey1
      @rocketmunkey1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also if you look at the Poltergeist movie poster with Carrol Ann touching the TV set, Look at the tag line it reads "IT Knows what Scares YOU" its referring to those who own the media and the Hollywood productions they pass off as "News" A scared population is a compliant population !

    Heather O'Rourke, aka Carol Ann, sadly passed away during the filming of part 3. Its all part of The Curse Of Poltergeist (look it up). They had to CGI in her likeness to complete the film. Heather O'Rourke is buried in a wall crypt at the Westwood Cemetery in Los Angeles. Many other celebrities are buried there. Its a very well hidden place right off Wilshire Blvd. Back in the day, we used to go burn one with Jim Backus, aka Mr Howell from Gilligan's Island. He is also buried there. We would leave candy or a flower with Heather O'Rourke. RIP to all the greats at the Westwood Cemetery.

    In defense of the last part of the movie, they believed they were fine for the moment and the house was clean, but it was never the house, but the land which we find out was full of bodies, like cleaning a wound without knowing about an infection, the whole neighborhood might of even be subjected to hauntings except for Carol Ann being the main target of the spirits, the only thing I would of changed would have the family stay in the living room or at least in the same room.

    This may sound strange, but I assumed a period of time (like months or weeks had passed) between getting Carol-anne back and moving day. I mean, it takes a while to sell your home, get boxes, find a new place. I thought the house was "clean" as Tangene said, but they just didn't want to live there anymore. I thought those last 15 mins was the most exciting part of the movie.

The girl that played Dana was strangled to death by a jealous boyfriend, the Indian in the sequel was stabbed to death outside of a nightclub. There were a number of other incidents involving the crew other the time they were filming. Craig T. Nelson said he couldn't bring himself to watch the movie if he was alone.
