    I understand the question of "why don't they close the curtains so he can't see the scary tree."
    I was exactly like this little boy when I was his age and the thing is, seeing it is scary, but NOT seeing it is somehow worse.

    The parents are THE BEST. Pot-smoking, silly people, still in love with each other and who genuinely care for their kids. I also love JoBeth Williams, how she gets a little excited when she jumps up and down, moves in the kitchen when she realized that her husband was seeing what she was seeing.
    Also, fun little fact with the actress JoBeth Williams. The skeletons in the pool with her were real skeletons. She didn't find this out until after the filming. Basically, there's something so indescribable about the film and how it blends horror, humor, a sense of magical discovery with at the time a very unusual take with a more "realistic" take on ghost hunting. So damn good.

    For the kitchen chair swap gag, this was a great practical effect. As Tobe Hooper described, it took exactly 4.0 seconds for the crew to swap those out. crew members were hiding under the counter and on the left side of the camera. As soon as Diane moved out of framed, they went into action. If you watch the scene again, you see a reflection of the crew in the corner of the toaster and someone bumps into the plant in the corner.

    • @JamesASharp
      @JamesASharp 10 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      @JasonHauser125 Good point. I think that Universal Studios had Spielberg under some kind of contract that prevented him from directing Poltergeist or at least taking the credit for directing more than one film in the same year (1982) at that time. Obviously, he directed E.T. The Extraterrestrial. And Spielberg did everything regarding the production of Poltergeist except "directing" the movie. But, ever since 1989, Spielberg has been in the habit of putting out 2 movies in the same year. Like I said, I think the studio prevented Spielberg from taking the credit for directing Poltergeist, meanwhile giving sole directing credit to Hooper. And you're right. When you compare Poltergeist to the rest of Hooper's filmography, Poltergeist is nothing like his other films.

    @rosetyler5368 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +9

    Thunder is the sound of lightning and counting gives you an idea of how far away the lightning by timing how long the sound of the thunder takes to get to you. So if you can count longer it's further away. Idk who told me that first but we always did that as kids.

      No. Thunder is NOT the sound of lightning. It's occurs when air masses collide.

    OMG, one of my favorite movies. First saw it not long after it came out in theaters only I saw it in a hotel room at the Hilton in Waikiki in Hawaii. The hotel with the Rainbow on the side. I was about 10 or 11. My parents went out for the night. I ordered the movie after they left. Funny thing is we lived on the island but often took vacations in Waikiki or island hopped as it was cheaper than traveling to the mainland or flying someplace further. The Hilton is actually a complex of hotels and they have ponds that connect them and come into the lobbies. They had a pair of swans. These swans loved me for some reason and followed me everywhere for a few days and were very friendly. I got so scared not even halfway through the movie I went to the lobby, called the swans and they followed me onto the elevator and to my room. Then I watched the movie- I called them Fred & Ethel, and ordered room service with the birds in my parents bed 😂. They were so shocked when they got home that night 😲. My dad ended up laughing and then made me take the birds back downstairs to the pond. I loved those birds. I always think of that when I see this movie. Both of my parents are gone now 😢.

    This film was cursed! That poor little girl (Heather O’rourke)died of a bowel obstruction age 12. The oldest sister (Dominique Dunne) was murdered by her ex who only served 3 yrs for strangling her to death because she refused to get back together with him.
    They allegedly used real skeletons in the pool scene because it was cheaper to get a real one than buy them or have props make them.
    A guy who played a preacher in the second movie(Julian Beck) died of stomach cancer after they wrapped. As did the actor who played the shaman (Will Sampson) whilst having a heart and lung transplant, he was a Native American who was also an actual medicine man and he did an authentic exorcism on the set.
    I don’t really but into superstition, that being said I can say with some confidence it didn’t seem that the people who were in these movies seemed to have the best luck.

    I saw this movie on HBO shortly after it was in theaters. This was while I was spending the night at a friend's house and we were maybe 12, plus or minus a year. He had two beds, one on either side of his room. The guest bed was where he kept some stuffed animals, including a Curious George. I had put them on the floor when I went to bed.
    A scream woke me some time later. My friend was sitting up on his bed screaming. His parents ran in to see what happened. Turns out that George had landed against the bed like he was standing upright. Friend woke up and saw that by the light of the streetlight coming in the window. He called me and when I didn't answer he thought George had killed me, like the clown in the movie, and now it was coming for him.
    They got him settled down and took George out with them and we went back to sleep. At least I did, I'm not sure about friend.

    While researching my family history, I found that a cemetery in which a few of my ancestors were buried was relocated because it was too small. The cemetery was at the base of an escarpment, and a train track runs close to the escarpment’s edge. When the cemetery was being moved, it’s figured that not all of the bodies were moved, and some people have reported seeing weird shapes, possibly ghosts, along the train tracks.
    A park and a few houses are now where the cemetery used to be.
