They're heeeeeeeerrreeee.
This week, we're turning down the lights and venturing into the terrifying world of Tobe Hooper's 1982 classic, Poltergeist. Prepare to be spooked as we explore how this film transformed the idyllic image of suburban life into a nightmare, tapping into our deepest fears about the safety of our own homes (and American imperialism???).
Of course, we can't talk about Poltergeist without acknowledging the undeniable influence of Steven Spielberg, the film's producer and co-writer. But beware, because this episode also delves into the dark cloud surrounding the Poltergeist franchise, including the tragic deaths of several cast members and the chilling rumors of a real-life curse.
So join us as we discuss: What really happened to Carol Anne? Is the Beast still lurking in the Freeling family's backyard? And just who ya gonna call? (Hint: it's not the Ghostbusters... yet!)
