I love this movie. My husband's family has a huge tie to this movie. The Atlas truck in the moving scene was my father in laws truck. We have pictures of my husband as a child running around on the set and his dad with the crew. It's such a wonderful memory for him to watch this movie. His father is gone now and I know he treasures these movies and the memories. Thank you for covering this movie and Heather's life along with it. She was definately a great little actress for the short amount of time she had on this planet. Cheers🥂💜❤🌈🍭🦄🌸

Did you grow up in Simi Valley? I'm from Chicago and remember seeing Poltergeist as a kid and wondering where it was filmed. With the mountains it looked like Mars to me. I went to Simi Valley when I was in California and went to the house. I remember wondering where everyone who lived there worked? You can't get a home there for under a couple million. Lol

I was born in '73 and I remember the young actresses when she also played a character in "Happy Days" . Plus, I remember when homes were being built to mirror each other....the 1980s were a great decade for movies, music, and there locations. How things have changed.

Being an eighties kid , I grew up with this movie , and whenever I see it - and the sequel - it transports me right back to those days of the mid eighties . My friend and I could rent any horror film we wanted from the local video store and we were only nine or ten. And we rented a ton of them. Those were the days ! And getting into room 209 , that's dedication to the cause !

It destroyed me and as a young child, I didn't know how to process it. I litteraly took to the bed for the rest of the weekend crying my eyes out. Still to this day, Heather O' rouke's death hit me harder than any other celebrity's death. This video took me back to all of that pain and my love for this movie.

I love watching these then and now videos, what is most interesting is not the mountain/hill formations, as they hardly change over 40 odd years. But seeing the homes is the biggest thing for me. Thinking that over the 40 years, how much these homes have changed, and the families/memories that have lived in them, some probably still living there after all these years. Many of the children/adults in the opening sequences probably weren't even extras bought in and probably lived on those roads during film as well.

I was 11 when this came out. There was a small theater in my neighborhood that never cared what age you were so my friend and I went to see this movie. It scared the crap out of me back then, but is one of my all time favorite movies. It always takes me back to that time, which was so much fun. I can watch it over and over. It is so neat to see these filming locations! It's surreal to see the actual places. Thank you for taking us on this journey!

@@joelamel8056 ha ha. Well it was 1982 and I didn't live in the best area. And the theater was a hole in the wall dollar show. They NEVER enforced any rules. Crazy to think of now though. I can't imagine any theaters I take my 12 year old to letting him in without me! 😂

My brother went to middle school with her at TDS (Tierra del sol). It was surreal knowing he was in the same grade as Heather and then her dying within the same year. He said she was down to earth and not "Hollywood."

Very much so. She was "sneaky" in fights with her sister, and she and Jim loved to play practical jokes on Tammy. One invovled when Tammy snuck out, Heather told Jim and they locked her out of the house.

_Poltergeist_ is such a beautifully crafted film and the score is phenomenal, right up there with Bernard Herrmann's _Psycho._

The score is wonderful. The main theme always tugs at my heart, makes me tear up a little.

Jerry Goldsmith has written some of my favorite scores-this one is right up there.

Loved it!! Poltergeist was one of my first horror films as a child. I remember hearing about Heather dying hit me pretty hard as we were the same age.

This movie is in constant rotation in my house. Just a great movie that scared the bejeebus out of me as a kid but continue to watch it to this day. Part 2 as well but part 3 not so much. RIP.

Always ready to go above and beyond for your craft, dude! I hope you stayed in that room. Your production values have risen so much in the years since you started doing this! So good to watch these ever-more-informative vids you share with us. I really enjoy your videos so much! Thanks for another great throwback.

This one hits hard. Poltergeist is one of my fave horrors. Heather was such a very talented young actress and the fact she passed at such a young age is just so upsetting. She had a great future in front of her.

Great job! For future filming location videos. You should try to do split screen so we can see the old and new at the exact same time. I rarely see anyone do that. That would be a neat idea. Keep up the good work.

Very cool Michael. Good job lining up those shots. I'm of a similar age to you and Poltergiest scared the hell out of me when I was younger lol. Great movie! Really tragic what happened to Heather O'Rourke, she was a great little actress and a really sweet girl.

@kamikazekid94 Жыл бұрын

Great job the scenery, is absolutely stunning! As a kid this movie scared the hell out of me but now as a grown adult it’s one of my favorites classic horror films. And I didn’t know about Heather’s condition and what happened to her and her on screen sister till much later in my adulthood. Thank you for showing this.
