Julian Beck who played Kane was dying from stomach cancer while filming. He died on September 14, 1985. Just a month or two after filming wrapped. Make-up artists didn’t even have to touch him while filming. What a badass. Cancer couldn’t even stop him from doing what he loved until the very end.
i think in the special features they mentioned they actually made him look slightly better with makeup lol
Perfect casting for this role. May he rest in peace!
But of course the actress of Carol Anne, too. Very sad death....
Isn´t it interesting though, how all the "death"-ly characters seem to be portrayed by "Julian"s? I mean, just think of Julian Richings from Supernatural!........
Julian Bleach from Doctor Who??........
@@chanceneck8072 Yeah it's really sad what happened to Heather. Died too young.
I'm sure she could have been a great actress if she was still alive today.
A lot of comments about Julian Beck (who played Kane) dying while making this movie, though no one has mentioned more about his life. He was also an abstract painter, poet, and the leader of the Living Theater, which was a radical theater during the countercultural era (there are videos of it on YT--pretty out-there stuff!). He was very literate, spoke French fluently, etc. Knowing this about him, the choice then to cast him as a fundamentalist preacher in "Poltergeist 2" (and also, as a ruthless corporateer in an episode of "Miami Vice") is quite an inspired stroke, as he was quite the opposite of those in real life.
I saw this in theaters when I was a kid. For the longest time my brother and I would scream "YOU'RE GONNA DIE IN THERE!" My Mother was not amused.
lol
That little girl was such a good and natural actress. It's so sad she died so young.
Julian Beck, may he rest in peace, as Kane has been voted scariest horror movie villain on multiple occasions, there's obviously not a definitive list or anything, but the fact that he's on top of many peoples list is saying something at least, and I wholeheartedly agree, that guy still gives me nightmares.
And that is him without makeup , he was dying when he did this movie , so if he looks like a dead man it's because he was .
Other one scary face is The Tall Man , Angus Scrimm , from Phantasm movies .
Well deserved too! He’s creeped out many a generation! He’s the first thing I think of when someone says poltergeist , next it’s CarolAnne & ‘they’re hereeee’ 😂 I’m 30 and my mums 48 & we often pull out the ‘god is in his holy temple’ line for funnies. Scary movie 2 kinda killed the scare factor and made it hilarious though I must admit 😂
@@pete_lind Yep, I've read that too, I was a bit late to add my wisdom to this comment stream being as you guys have already covered it. Yeah, I read that was in the final stages of terminal cancer, which is why he looks all drawn and skeletal, 'cancer ate him down to the bone' to quote Rambo: First Blood. Julian died shortly after he'd finished filming his scenes. If I remember correctly, he didn't live to see Poltergeist 2 in it's final production. R.I.P. Julian.
I don't agree with Dorothy btw, that Poltergeist was a scarefest with no real explanation or story to it. Poltergeist was helmed by Spielberg (even though it says Tobe Hooper) because of an upcoming writer's strike, and the fact that Spielberg was contractually committed to another movie at the time.
He scared the shit out of me as kid
He was terrifying watching this a child back when it came out. I first saw it when it hit VHS.
Both Poltergeist films are taken from 2 Twilight Zone episodes. One entitled “Little Girl Lost” & the other where the dead grandma calls her grandson also from a toy phone.
It also featured a clown that rivalled Pennywise for a time.
No there taken from the novel
@@dominickjustave3558Twilight Zone, the novel? Cool, never new there was one.
OMG, these movies, esp this one, creeped me the F out when I was a kid. Kane was prefectly casted. The actor was diagnosed with cancer in 1983 and he had to have a voice actor come in during post to loop some of his lines for the movie because died in 1985. RIP.
Is Zeus your God
Rip kane
For me watching these movies on VHS in the early nineties as a young kid was like a golden age of memories
More like the golden age of nightmares for me.
@@Forjugadname
That too. Both can be true.
Arachnophobia and hellraiser scared the jebbies out of me
@@pdottie212fu
Give me the early days of the early nineties over the 2020s anyday 😊👍
Me and you both.
It's kinda interesting that Henry Kane bares a striking resemblance to the white lanky demon that kept Diane from rescuing Carol Ann and Robbie towards the end of the first film. But yeah RIP Julian Beck who was battling cancer while making Poltergiest 2.
You know, kids who grew up in the 2000s have movies like Saw & Hostel as their first “disturbing movies scenes that stay with you for life”. But for 80s kids like me, we have 24:48.
Not exactly true I grew up in the 2000s and I still get the heebie jeebies from the Exorcist 1973
@@wfkernea My point was referring to movies of a given generation and/or era and how if you’re from that time period, you can claim it as your own and that you’re a part of it. Of course any older movie can and will be a memory.
@@baronvg well you assume that most kids that grew up in the 2000s will only remember scenes from movies like saw and hostel but I am one of the few that have seen older movies that were way too disturbing to watch at a young age your point is only half right
@@wfkernea You enjoy contradicting people, don’t you? Because I made it very clear in my reply what I meant but if you insist on trying to sound smarter than you are and coming off as antagonistic, then there’s no point replying anymore.
Wish I could be like that. I was born 85, saw The Shining at 6 and Texas Chainsaw Massacre the year after. Been a horror fanatic since and by the time I watched Saw and Hostel, they were basically fun popcorn movies for me. Especially Saw, which came to be one of my favorite horror franchises ever, probably second behind Phantasm.
In my opinion they should have wrapped up the Poltergeist series on this movie. They even ended Poltergeist II on kind of a happy and funny note. Poltergeist III is still pretty entertaining in a cheesy way and is kind of known for how many times the name "Carol Anne" was hollered through out the movie.
It was 121 times her name was mentioned. Facebook had a recent thing about it or Twitter. One of those.
Part 3 was my favorite! I loved the teen characters!
Definitely not. Poltergeist 3 is great.
Poltergeist 3 made me afraid of puddles...
@@chanceneck8072 Haha, that's a great scene, though!
I always enjoy seeing Will Sampson in movies, and he has been in quite a few good ones like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "The Outlaw Josey Wales," "Orca," and "The White Buffalo."
When I was a kid, Julian Beck who plays Kane, scare the ever loving FUCK out of me. But now as a 40 year old, I can watch back and laugh at myself for being so scared at him hahaha! It’s always great to overcome your fears 🤣
He still scares the sh!t clean out of me, lol.
Bit of movie trivia. Julian Beck who played Kane was suffering from terminal stomach cancer during the making of this movie. And unfortunately died soon afterwards. He realised how much his 'gaunt' appearance added to the role. He was quite a guy if you read his wiki. RIP.
@@degsbabe What a chad.
This movie is so fucking awesome! Almost no one talks about it, but it´s a PERFECT sequel. It elevates the original. When I was little we had a neighbor with long white hair, who kind of reminded me of the evil priest in this one. I was so afraid of him and I had that recurring nightmare of him chasing me down the stairs of the basement and then I woke up. EVERY time. Haven´t had that nightmare though in around and about twenty years now. It´s just fiction. Memories. Childhood memories....
Isn´t it interesting though, how all the "death"-ly characters seem to be portrayed by "Julian"s? I mean, just think of Julian Richings from Supernatural!........
Julian Bleach from Doctor Who?
Great movie. Kane was perfect casting. Still freaks me out
I loved these films as a kid. The first 2 anyway. But as a horror obsessed kid, they never really scared me, I just loved the family. But I had a friend that was TERRIFIED of Kane. All you had to do was say "tem-ple!" like him and she'd be edgy for an hour lol.
love the first 2, even with some of problems with 2. 3 is straight up awful lol.
I was driving my wife and kids too Cleveland and we stopped on interstate 75 in the rest area just before Cincinnati up there in the mountains. There was a guy on horseback that just happened to look like Kane! And he happened to be a minister! Yeah my kids were like no way we're going over there can we get back in the van? It was really kind of creepy and all honesty my ex-wife she was looking at him like oh my God Satan is coming to visit! I just thought it was kind of funny on a creepy side but funny.
Poltergeist 3 is great. 2 and 3 are the best ones. I'm guessing the first had too much input from Steven Spielberg.
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer umm, in all honesty I'm glad you got the hell out of there. Sometimes you get a forewarning.
@@angelaatwood46 that was a reader's digest condensed book version of that whole event. There's a lot more to it.
The 1st movie showcased a mothering instinct wins out over evil. This movie shows the struggles of a man raised in a patriarchal society feeling powerless to provide for his family, has the opportunity to step up to save them when they need him most.
Grandma was protecting the family while she was alive...but once she passed, the evil came back
True.
The preachers song of "God is in, his holy temPle" was seared into my brain as a child & always quote it to anyone who mentions anything religious, it's muscle memory decades later to do so for my own enjoyment lol.
I hear that song ringing in my head from time to time, too.
@@danacarter9147 Phew, i'm not the only one 😇
Will Sampson aka Chief from One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest ❤
The villian in this movie. Julian Beck was in the last days of his life due to terminal cancer. I give him a lot of respect for doing this movie as sick as he was. From what I read, he had to be fed by tube during filming because of his condition. I also read he decided to do the film as a way to face his coming demise. I can't decide what's better/ worse, knowing when your time is coming or not knowing at all. Pros and cons to both I guess.
The character was certainly terrifying but what a tremendous performance from Julian Beck, playing the role of Kane while dying from Stomach Cancer.
Hi You and Me, it's a gutsy move to follow up with number 2, so soon. Even with the actor/character deaths after the first movie this one is still creepy. " Hey! "
Poltergeist 2 is my favorite out of the series. The thid one is good too. Just be prepared to count how many time they say her name threw the movie.
Yeah. I wouldn’t make it a drinking game though. It’d probably kill ya 😂
@@deadbynightupbylunch I should of done that. I would been drunk my the end of the 3rd movie.
Yeah. this is the best one. I prefer both sequels to the original which is also good but kind of tame. I wish Spielberg would've just let Hooper make his film. I bet it would've turned out better without his meddling. Leave horror to people who are good at it like Hooper.
In the first movie, and this one, it attacks Robbie as a distraction so it can get Carol Anne. But this time Taylor was there to protect her.
I was hoping they would notice/address Dana missing from the story. I know why she is gone - Rest In Peace - but I feel it was weird to just act like she didn’t exist. There could have been mention of maybe she went to stay with a friend or something…
I agree she should have been mentioned. U read on the trivia they didn't mention her due to respect of her family but they could have atleast asked them to mention her. In the original script Dana went to college in university and even though it's not mentioned it's said to be Canon meaning she's really in college. Rip Dominique though.
Julian Beck as Kane was an outstanding actor 👍👍👍love him
That ghost preacher freaked me out as a kid.
"hey Macarena" LOL
Kane - Julian Beck - the old man did a great job. very creepy. I believe he passed away before the movie was released.
first time I hear someone liked the 2nd better than the 1st. it wasn't bad. have a nice weekend all
Yes, he had terminal cancer in the abdomen. They had to use make up in some extra scenes they shot with him to make him look "better" as it were so that those shots would fit with the ones they shot only weeks earlier because he was losing so much weight.
Some of the lines of Kane had to be looped by voice actor in the post production after Julian's death.
Your whole reaction to the "Let me in" scene was my reaction.
This movie is so underrated by many people. Really enjoyed the reaction. As with others, Julian Beck's character, Henry Kane, has always scared me. Just hearing 'God Is In His Holy Temple' gives me the shivers. Oh and watch Return Of The Living Dead. :)
But 1st watch Night Of The Living Dead (1968), to put context for Return.

H.R. Giger, famous for designing the original Xenomorph in "Alien", designed the monsters in this, mainly the "Smoke Beast"
Yeah, they used two of the designs he came up with, but they are barely recognizable in the finished film after the effects people redrew and modified them to their liking. Giger was pissed. But then again he was seldom happy with how his designs wound up looking in the films he worked on. I think they look great, better than his designs in this case.
I remember I begged my parents to see Poltergeist II outside the theater, even though we had come to see a completely different kid friendly movie lol. I was only 8 at the time but I loved the first one so much. Ofc we watched that one in the comfort of our own home on VHS. The 80’s were an all together different time lol. My dad finally said ok, but this meant my mother had to take my sister to the kids movie, and my dad took me into Poltergeist.
Going to the movies as a kid in the 80’s was a major event for us. I can still remember all the smells and sounds. The excitement and fear walking down the aisle finding a seat while the previews were playing. I remember being so scared of this one we had to walk out. Kane was absolutely terrifying. The whole “God is in his holy temple” and “YOU’RE GONNA DIE IN THERE!!” Shook me to my core coming out of the loud speakers. I had nightmares about him.. it was a whole thing Lol. Lessen learned.
I absolutely love both 1 and 2 now though. Come to find out the poor man who played Kane was dying of cancer during the shooting, which ofc is why he looks so scary. Apparently he was a sweetheart of a man though. I guess he died a few weeks after finishing the movie. RIP Julian Beck, Heather O’Rourke, Dominique Dunne, Zelda Rubenstein, and Will Sampson
I think the first movie had more of a purity to it, leaving things to the unknown, and this one tried too hard to have a direct confrontation. The clairvoyant turn of the mother seemed forced. But I liked both movies, I just liked the first one more.
A young man, born with no arms or legs, ( I don’t remember his actual name) played the creature who slimed away after being puked up by Steve Freeling. He was listed in the credits as “Vomit Creature.” I think that would be so cool to have on a resume!
Ooh, the puke monster and possessed worm scenes still freak me out! Not only that, they scream WARNING! NIGHTMARE ALERT, too!⚠️
Noble Craig
Noble had one arm.
Noble Craig was the actor who played the slime monster who lost both legs and an arm while serving in the Vietnam war, he stepped on a landmine,it's how he lost his limbs, Thank you for your service!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Priest Caine is why we now have a "Stranger Danger" whistle and protocol.
I dont know if you know this or not, but the older daughter was not in this film because the actress was tragically murder by a crazy ex-boyfriend.
Yeah, and he got off very lightly for it too. Slap on the wrist almost. Out of prison within a couple of years.
@@Fedorevsky that part I didn't know. That makes me sick.
@@jssonstillwell3243 Yeah, it's horrible.
The poltergeist franchise is actually filled with tragedy in real life. Dana Freeling (Dominique Dunne, 22 yrs old) was killed by an obsessive violent ex-boyfriend, Carol Anne Freeling (Heather O'Rourke, 12 yrs old) died of congenital stenosis of the intestine, Kane (Julian Beck, 60 yrs old) died of stomach cancer, and Tangina Barrons (Zelda Rubinstein, 76 yrs old) died of an heart attack. Dominique Dunne didn't appeared in Poltergeist II because she was killed, Julian Beck died before Poltergeist II was released (he was so ill that he didn't had to use makeup during the film to look scary) and Heather O'Rourke died the same year Poltergeist III was released.
I will never forget that song he hummed/sung!!!!!😟
For me, these movies need to be watched more than once to get the entire progression of the movies. There is definitely a clear explanation of everything that started up this poltergeist happening and the attachment to Carolanne. Once you've seen all three films, it's great to start over again when you're wanting to rewatch the film and to me, more and more it reveals what's going on. Even as to Love being extremely powerful, though the mainstream of the world tends to disregard it's power. These are truly more complex than the new one they did most recently. These movies are truly told 80s style. And to all the ones of us who had the privilege to grow up and be here during the greatest era of all times, hello!!!
Dominique Dunne who played Dana in the first movie, was strangled by her ex-boyfriend shortly after the film came out.
In this movie, Julian Beck (Kane) died shortly after filming wrapped. Will Sampson (Taylor) died a year after it came out.
Finally, Heather O'Rourke died shortly after the third movie came out.
Dominique Dunne was also cast as Robin Maxwell in the first "V" miniseries, but part way through the filming she was murdered, so they had to recast Blair Tefkin in the role and re-shoot. If you watch the miniseries, there's a memorial note for Ms. Dunne in the titles.
'God, he's horrifying!!' Yep!
Is Zeus your God
You are the first person I hear say that you liked it better than the 1st one. Part 2 and 3 are usually not so well received. Good for you.
Poltergeist 2 is my favorite R. I. P. Beautiful Angel Heather O'Rourke
My step father has a friend called Peter and his dad looks exactly like Kane 😆 he scared the 💩 out of me as a child 🥺
The great H.R Giger did not just design the "worm-Kane" and "Endmonster/Kane" which were greatly modified by the production team for practical reasons, but he also came up with the design for Kanes's cavern under the house. Unlike his monster concepts , the cavern was made almost exactly in accord to his concept drawings with Shepard Kane's still rotting body on a small mound in the center surrounded by his flock.
Well... yes, H.R Giger loved to make grotesque art that also combined eroticism and machines. :D
Oddly enough, I believe the casting director said to Julian Beck, "God you're horrifying. You're hired!" Side note: I really like the first Poltergeist, but I actually think part 2 is better. Those worm effects? So sick!
All three movies had someone die After each movie was finished. The first movie the actress that played the older daughter I believe was murdered by her boyfriend. This movie the actor who played the ghost/Rev. Kane died of Cancer and the third the young actress who played Carol Ann died of a rare disease. Many people believe these movies were cursed.
I've flat out forgotten about this movie! I kept thinking of 3 and thought that was 2. Poltergeist 3 used to be on cable TV all of the time back in the day. I've probably seen 3 a hundred times.
the actor who played the preacher was dying of cancer while this was being filmed, he was death.
Actor Julian Beck was in poor health while filming the movie and I believe he passed away before finishing the movie let alone before it's release.
In fact when you get to Poltergeist 3, in the end credits, Julian Beck would get a nod by saying The Role of Reverend Kane was originally portrayed by Julian Beck.
The 3rd film was never going to be released by the director due to the death of Heather he had 0 interest in the film but was forced by the film company to do so.... also there are 2 version P2 i don't think it will be released you can see strange cuts in the released version...
@@kylereese4822 I think it did get a Blu-Ray release by Scream Factory that had the alternate scenes and ending. Sadly I was never able to get it.
@@NightRanger-lz6tp I`ve heard about that that... but there is another version too with about another hour added to it... that`s the version that`s in the film vaults it may never be released due the strange myths about the films...
@@NightRanger-lz6tp I think the movies did step on somethings toes when they was made... something is just not right about them... also rumoured Carol-Ann is depicting Lorain Warren the movies are what see saw as a child.... just a rumour.
Freaky fact: The suit actor for the Kane worm was a triple amputee.
Did you know that the actress Domonique Dunn who played the oldest child Dana in the first Poltergeist movies, was murdered by her boyfriend. Thats why her character went to " college" in the second movie.
Mrs movies plucking a chest hair in the middle of the movie was funny lol
Some studio executive saw the original Poltergeist and thought "Needs more Manitou"
the actor Julian Beck was dying of cancer while he filmed this movie. he knew his appearance would give it the creepy effect. God bless him rest in peace Julian
Funny how you said it feels more like Night of the Living Dead. One of the cast members from the first Poltergeist was in the first Return of The Living Dead movie.
They don't mention the tree trying to eat Robbie because boys in the 80s were taught to suck up the pain, so being eaten by a tree is a just a rite of passage. :P
Old preacher dude was dying during this. Which makes his appearance even more scary.
The man playing Kane was terminally ill during filming.
Just like I said in the 1st Poltergeist reaction,
May the souls of Julian Beck, and Will Sampson Rest In Peace. 2 more losses to such an underrated series.
Trivia:
1. According to the script the older daughter Dana was not in the film because she was off at university, but in truth the actress Dominique Dunn was murdered by her boyfriend shortly after Poltergeist. It was decided by the filmmakers to retire the character and not recast her out of respect to the actress and her family.
2. Julian Beck (Reverend Kane) died from stomach cancer shortly after filming finished. Several of his lines were dubbed in post-production by voice actor Corey Burton.
3. (at around 34 mins) Steve (Craig T. Nelson) comments on Taylor (Will Sampson) perhaps being an escapee from an asylum. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Sampson played an asylum inmate who escapes.
4. The film had an original running time of 131 minutes before being edited down to 91 minutes. Some have surmised that MGM rushed production and ordered the cuts, e.g the final battle with Kane lasts all of two minutes. Zelda Rubinstein in particular was furious about this, as she felt her best scenes were removed from the final cut. Several scenes that appeared in press stills and promotional posters were cut from the film, e.g. one in which Kane tries to get into the house a second time and confronts Tangina (this omission angered Rubinstein as she felt that was one of her best scenes); one in which Steve and Diane see a flying toaster during a breakfast scene, etc.
5. Beatrice Straight was asked to reprise the role of Dr Lesh from the first film, but she was ill and not willing to work at the time. Richard Lawson was also asked to reprise the role of Ryan, but his schedule clashed with MGM, because he was busy filming Under the Influence (1986).
6. The International Extended Play laser-disc features a new scene from the original cut; after Tangina comes to the house and Diane has just had a vision, Kane makes a second attempt at getting into the house. The scene plays out at five minutes, but edited down to a mere eight seconds in the film (Kane is just seen walking past the house but doesn't go near it ). In the scene, Kane tries to torment Tangina and Diane tells him to leave them alone. Kane says he remembers Diane as the one who took Carol-Anne away from him. He says "You won't win this time. I'm always watching and I will take Carol-Anne from you and there is nothing you can do about it!" Tangina retorts by saying Taylor knows how to stop him, because he's more powerful, and he will find a way to banish Kane and his followers forever, in which Kane looks rather worried. All Kane has to say to that is "I will find a way into this house and when I do...I will kill you all!" And with that, he walks off into the distance.
7. Several scenes cut from the film would have explained and clarified things that are left vague in the series. It was elaborated that Taylor is the reincarnation of Ben Lagou, a Native American who was a member of Kane's cult but broke off upon realizing how evil Kane had become, thus explaining why Taylor is out to defeat Kane and why they seem to know one another. It also revealed that the ghosts in first film, the ones from the cemetery, were trapped and unable to go to the light due to Kane's powers and were forced under his control. The film originally ended with the family freeing all of the spirits Kane had ensnared, including his cult. The spirits of Kane's followers and the cemetery ghosts go to the light while Kane was to be sucked down a dark tunnel to hell.
8. The worm at the bottom of Steve's tequila bottle is a Mezcal worm.
In the novel kain had his followers send their children to him at night..
And the native americans who were on that land showed taylor pictrographs that showed a beast being vomited from a man, forshadowing steven drinking the worm and the vomit entity.
Id LOVE to see those cutscenes. The novelizations of poltergeist 1 and 2 are so good, really fills in the pieces and they were written from spielbergs script.
And the University is in England where Dana Freeling went to study and she moved there permanently.
The actress who played the oldest daughter died shortly after the first movie, so they just wrote her out. The actor who played Carol Ann died during the filming of the third movie.
This movie is one of those rare occasions where the sequel is better than the original. Rev. Kane is scary af in large part because the actor, Julian Beck was dying of cancer during the filming. He freaked me out with this brilliant performance.
The opening shot was Canyon De Chelly, in Arizona on Navajo Nation. And no drones back then, they used helicopters.
the perfect backdrop split between you 2 in the medium wide shot almost feels like y'all are in 2 different rooms and have edited it into a 1 shot..messes with my brain!
Took me half way through the video just realized the Native American is from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
@JEFFYjackass...I'm glad you recognized Taylor as the iconic actor Will Sampson, who played "Chief" in Cuckoo's Nest. FYI, after the success of Cuckoo's Nest Will was in over 25 big screen and made for TV films, several in which he played the lead role. He also had a recurring role in the 70's series Vega$ as Dan Tanna's friend Chief Twoleaf,. and he was the narrator and interviewer of the PBS Series "Images of Indians". Most people have no idea what an amazing actor he was in his 12 year movie career before he passed in 1987.
Kane is one scary you know what, whoa. He definitely take the cake in this sequel, cool reaction as always Mr. & Mrs Movies, you both take care and have a great weekend
17:31 you are so right! He looks that way because the actor Julian Beck was actually dying of stomach cancer. I believe he died just after production ended.
The Native American actor is from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest"
I cared for the original film more, because it presented the afterlife, or the other side, in an alien, complex way. In the original Poltergeist film, the “other side” has both good, bad, and neutral sides. There are ghosts who are indifferent to the living, and ghosts who are mad at the living. Poltergeist 2 gives us a main villain and a more good vs evil story. These films are similar to Star Trek the Motion Picture and Star Trek 2. Star Trek the Motion Picture involved a powerful alien intelligence that was indifferent to humans but was creating unintentional destruction its quest to find meaning in life, similar to humans not hating ants when we build a house on an ant hill. Because of this story, many people found the first Star Trek film to be boring. Star Trek 2 had a great human villain who could state snappy lines and emote on camera, and many more people liked Star Trek 2.
I know her quote is, super, but I always crack up with her dramatic, oh no.
you can really hear Mr. Incredible in Nelson's performance
im guilty to say i love poltergiest 2 more then tthe original i love the score more i love the cast more and yes henry kane was a scary as shit
I enjoy each of the installments for different reasons but damn if I don't cry every time I watch the third one, at the end, thinking about how she died so young irl.
17:25 Julian Beck mad a great job as Kane...unfortunately he died before the movie was realeased...
That movie was cursed, from the real skeletons in the pool in part 1, to Dominique Dunn being murdered in between 1 and 2, Julian dying after this one, and Will Sampson also dying
I believe that the actress that had played the older daughter had been murdered by this time.
Yeah, she was strangled by her ex-boyfriend not long after the first movie was released. The piece of garbage only served three years for manslaughter.
You might want to give "The Osterman Weekend" a watch. Craig T Nelson was in that, as well.
Sam Peckinpah's last film. Lots of known faces in that one.
It'd be cool if his little girl was casted as the ballerina in the upcoming John Wick film "The Ballerina" (even though I love Ana de Armas casting in it) simply for this line "Will it help me be a ballerina"
That old man scared the shit outta me as a kid, I saw someone that resembled him once when I was little in town and freaked out!
You should meet my step father's friend Peter's dad 😆 he looks exactly like Kane 😆
24:26, look at Mr. Movie's face, that scene got to him. Bet you won't want to ever drink Tequila now.
im always early, love this channel ! yall have such a great balance while reacting
Julian beck aka uncle baby Billy. Same soul.
I really like this one because it's got some good humor in it. And I love Taylor. Will Sampson was great.
I do like this better than the first. This is where that uptick in quality ends, though :D The actor playing Kane (creepy guy) gives a fantastic performance. Sad part is that he actually was suffering long term stomach cancer at the time, which is why he looks so gaunt. He died after wrapping this shoot, before the film even aired in theaters. On the mother not being open to her gift: I think it's just plain fear because she knows the other side is after her daughter. It's the same fear that dad also fights against believing. This thing tried to take their daughter once and kill them all. They just want it to be over, which is completely understandable. The worm sequence is the most gross. I don't know about the scariest, but yeah, it's the moment that sticks with you (ither than really every moment Kane is on screen). I do love the look of the proto-Kane that comes out of it. It's very reminiscent of Frank coming back in Hellraiser.
@5:30 Ridin' the rails, Hayden, clickeddy clack, clickeddy clack!!!
I really need to get this trilogy on Blu-ray awesome series! I actually like this one better than the first.
The explanation for the 1st movie was they built the neighborhood on a graveyard (which was supposed to have been moved but they only moved the headstones). Of course that wasn't revealed until late in the movie.
19:12 - Today we learned the MRS has chest hair. hahaha
The concept artist for Poltergeist II was H.R. Giger, who also was the concept artist for Alien.
Julian beck was on the cover of Anthrax Among the living album 😊
Julian was very sick while filming this.
Any one else shouting pinch it off when the wormy thing came out?
Please watch The Omen (the original) - especially if you check out the curse around the film too.
The man playing the evil Priest in this film knew he was sick and dying, he dyed before this film was released in theaters.
24:25 Looking at his reaction. Yeah, me too bro! 😬
Reverend Cain was Julian Beck who was dieing with cancer giving him the looks. Also the older sister Dominic Dunn was strangled by her boyfriend.
Carollanne was GBBG. Given Back By Grandma.
Ah this is a fun sequel and expands the poltergeist universe. Just awesome
Incredibile cone Julian Beck abbia preso parte in un film del genere. Volto cmq perfetto x quel ruolo. Inquietantissimo. Qualcuno pubblichi un DVD restaurato almeno in HD .🙏🙏🙏🌟🎥🎞️
Underrated movie 🎬 9/10 for me
What happened to the young girl played by Heather O'Rourke in these movies is nothing compared to the horrors that happened to her in real life. RIP.
Dominique Dunne as well (she played her big sister in Poltergeist), she was a victim of domestic violence and ended up being killed by her ex boyfriend, that's why she never appeared in Poltergeist II.
@@xubarze there's a theory that the movie is cursed
