	THE POLTERGEIST MACHINE
		Poltergeist effects may be as much the result of electromagnetic anomalies as the workings of mischievous discarnate spirits, as inventor John Hutchison has been able to demonstrate in his laboratory.
		Whilst the paranormal may not have the serious consequences for people as war or environmental concerns, it would be difficult to state with any confidence that psychic phenomena and the UFO issue have not engaged public attention on a grand scale.
		On the whole, 'poltergeists' are regarded as discarnate and mischievous entities who home in on the energies of an adolescent focus and who unintentionally wreak havoc wherever they go, although particular locations are usually favoured for the most spectacular phenomena.

		The diminutive clairvoyant Tangina Barrons is summoned to "cleanse" the house, and in her initial counseling sessions with the Freelings, she seems to understand what the ghosts really want and why they've abducted young Carol Anne.
		Poltergeist was followed by a pair of sequels, neither of which had involvement from either Hooper or Spielberg and both of which were mauled by fans and critics; too bad, too, because 1986's Poltergeist II: The Other Side remains vastly underrated and offers some hair-raising exposition about the ghosts and their motivations.
		More disconcertingly, a series of cast-member deaths from the three movies caused a rumor of the "Poltergeist Curse" to be promulgated during the late 80's.

		The third and final installment to the "Poltergeist" trilogy, where young Carol-Anne (Heather O' Rourke's last role) is shipped off to Chicago to spend the summer with her aunt (Nancy Allen) and uncle (Tom Skerrit) and also to be examined and tested on by professionals who are studying her "gift".
		Poltergeist II was my favorite of the 3 and definitely one of the best of all time.
		Poltergeist has scared me since I was a small child, and Poltergeist II is definitely as good as the original, if not better.

	The Terror Trap: Poltergeist
		Describing the difference between a haunting and a poltergeist, she tells them that a poltergeist usually involves an individual and lasts for a short while.
		This is a great movie of the modern era, probably because the Freeling family is so understandable and their reactions are so real.
		The special effects are strong and believable, yet because of the acting and family situations, the effects (even at their most outrageous) never dominate the movie.

		Perhaps more importantly, this album would represent one of the first of a long series of expanded reissues of classic scores that would eventually lead to more strong Goldsmith efforts in such form in the future.

		Poltergeist comes from my childhood so it will always be a part of me. It was one of the first films I remember seeing and I will never forget it.
		Poltergeist is also one of the dumbest movies to be made because there is no way a family would stay in a house AFTER chairs pile up on the table and they hear voices at night.
		This movie should be in any movie collectors shelf, even if your not a big fan of horror films cause this movie is for movie likers of the age 9 and up.

		Poltergeist 2 is a movie that I like to pretend never happened, and as far as I'm concerned, when I'm watching the first film, it didn't.
		In 1982, POLTERGEIST was the one movie that stood strongly right next to THE EXORCIST, as being the second most horrifying movie around.

	Poltergeist II: The Other Side
		Poltergeist I was, in my humble opinion, the best haunted house film ever made, with a top-notch family dynamic, pacing, musical score, attitude, sense of humor, special effects, and and some of the world's best child acting, by the greatest director of children ever, Steven Spielberg.
		The scares work less often, the dialogue is often quite bad, the story itself is fragmented and illogical, and the overall feel of the film just isn't right.
		The Indian hocum is simply laughable and it's hard not to groan at the talk of love being strong enough to defeat the evil one (not because it's a ridiculous notion, but because it's a delicate one).

	THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Poltergeist Report: Yu Yu Hakusho
		While the original tape I watched was damaged and had some serious video problems, even that couldn't hide the skilled, rich animation that is used for this movie (a surprise from normally mediocre Studio Pierrot).
		Now that the rest of the franchise is familiar, we can look at this movie by the merits it was meant to have - and it's not excellent, but it's good enough as a supplement to be worth getting in conjunction with the series.
		While a good deal more serious than the first movie, Poltergeist Report: Yu Yu Hakusho will be seriously confusing without the context of the TV series, and therefore should not be remotely considered a standalone, despite its release by a completely separate company from either the first movie or the TV series.
