The key to this movie is not the scares, but the family dynamics. If ones doesn't believe that these characters loved one another then this film would fall apart..We root for this family and are terrified for them because we have grown fond of them.

Robbie's Star Wars collection is pretty impressive. Carol Anne gnawing on Luke Skywalker is adorable. "Now clear your minds. It knows what scares you. It has from the very beginning. Don't give it any help, it knows too much already". One of my favorite movie quotes of all time.

Have to agree that Steve and Diane are relationship goals. The movie does such a great job setting up the family so when things really do kick off you're afraid for them. Except maybe for Dana

I saw this movie as a kid and my dad said it was one of the only movies the genuinely scared him! Fun fact, there’s a building Skyrim that has chairs arranged on a table just like in this movie. 😁

The stories surrounding this movie are actually more creepy than the movie itself.

11:47 "What is up with this girl?" She, the actress Dominique Dunne, aged only 22 at the time, got murdered just five months after this movie was released by her stalker ex John Thomas Sweeney who only served three and a half years in prison for her murder. The murderer changed his name from John Thomas Sweeney to John Maura. The murderer got job as a chef and continues working as a chef to this day.

"They're here"... one of the classic horror quotes of all time. Great reaction and yes October is the best month ever! Can't wait for the other horror reactions 🎃👻🦇💀🕸🍂

If you pay attention in the kitchen scene where the chairs suddenly stack on the table, you can sort of see the reflection of the crew in the waffle maker... when the crew ran out quickly and removed all of the chairs and stuck the stacked chairs on the table. Pretty impressive that it was all done in real time like they did it. :-)

Useless trivia time: Back in the .80s there weren't as many TV networks, and they weren't 24hrs, unless you had cable TV. The networks would shut down late at night and would start up again in the morning, and each time they'd play the Star Spangled Banner over images of the flag and the Lincoln Memorial. Then the station would go off air, and you'd only see snow on the screen.

"How do you get a person out of a TV?" has got to be the coolest remark you've made. Should've been the tag line on the poster.

Rest in peace, Heather O'Rourke. She passed away in 1988 at the age of 12.

Poor little Heather! She was such a professional, she never missed a day of shooting in Poltergeist III, even though she was under heavy medication! Everyone was in love with her - especially Spielberg in Poltergeist I, who discovered her - and everyone was shattered when she passed away

Goldsmith's music is SPELLBINDING! What John Williams did for sharks, Jerry Goldsmith did for spirits!

You were talking during the scene when Steven's boss was explaining that the housing development he lived in was built over an old cemetery. It's a major plot point that sets up the moment in the climax where he confronts his boss about the headstones. 👓

What's really scary is the pool scene used real skeletons. At the time, it was common to use real skeletons as props.

-Small ladie: "This house is clean" -Me: LIIIEEEES......

She's not actually in the tv, she's in the spirit realm, There is a theory that white noise (like the static on a TV or radio) enables ghosts to communicate with this world.. EVP:electronic voice projection.

A lot of 80s memes came out of this movie: "This house is clean." "They're here!" among others.

“The Crow” if you haven’t seen it is an all time classic and a good one to see for scary October

Fun fact: the mechanical clown they used as a prop almost strangled the child actor who played Robbie to death when it wrapped its arm around his neck. Initially, Spielberg and Tobe Hooper though that his choking sounds were just him being a good actor, but he when he started to turn blue, Spielberg realized he wasn't acting and jumped forward and pulled the clown off of him.

🎃🚬👻 I use to have an old hippie poltergeist in my house that would smoke weed..... until eventually the police arrested him for possession.

This is the only movie I went back to see THREE times on opening day. First, alone at an early matinee.....but then I dragged my roommates to see it in the afternoon. Took my best friend to see it that night.

Spielberg movies, especially here, show a heart, like the audience is really bonding with their universal emotions.

The Fly and Hellraiser are two great classic Horror movies

I always liked JoBeth Williams and Craig T. Nelson as actors. A sad fact: Dominique Dunne, who played the oldest daughter, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend a few months after the movie was released.

My friend and I saw this on the last day of 7th grade (before Summer vacation). I had just turned 13. The theater was so crowded that we had to sit in the front row. I was so scared that I was crying and couldn't watch the end (after the clown attack), I hid under my jacket. That night, I slept on the floor beside my parents' bed. My Mom was annoyed. Now, I watch it to fall asleep to sometimes, it's an old friend.

This is one of the best examples where you get to know people before shit goes nuts. You actually care. Also Heather Orourke in this movie is quite possibly the cutest thing in the world.

Disturbing scary fact: The movie used REAL SKELETONS in the pool/coffin scenes popping out of nowhere.

A true classic would be "The Haunting" (1963). Or its Netflix mini series remake "The Haunting of Hill House". Or both.

*#FYI* In the *60's 70's & 80's US* broadcast *TV* use to turn off at *(Midnight)* & go static till morning

The soundtrack composed by Jerry Goldsmith is absolutely wonderful. Jerry always amazed me when it comes to create soundtracks for sci-fi or supernatural movies like Poltergeist, The Omen, Alien or Star Trek. He always knew how to create that esoteric, spiritual or transcendent enviroment better than anyone else. Sadly he had to compete with a beast like John Williams for the Oscars many times, as happened with Poltergeist, that it had to compete against E.T. and it lost

6:14 this cracked me up, your reaction to the wife getting tickled by her husband! 🤣 You had your face covered almost as much as when the clown was onscreen, lol. Good luck with school, excited to see your October movies...but school must come first! You're a joy to watch movies with, Centane!!!

It finally clicked with me recently how much of this movie is inspired by childhood fears coming to life. When you're a child and it's dark and stormy out, what are you afraid of? You're afraid that old tree outside the window is really some big twisted monster. You're afraid that creepy toy in your room is going to come to life and come get you. You're afraid that there's something living in the closet that wants to eat you.

Jerry Goldsmith did a terrific job with the main theme, going for the emotion instead of the scares, just like he did with Psycho 2, another film you should watch.

Spooktober, love it. Yes this is another great Spielberg film in a long list of his films. This movie has so much in it, so many twists and scares. A great premise, the real estate boss moved the headstones from the cemeteries but left the bodies buried under the new construction, thus the angry souls still there. Spielberg always looks for the most believable avenue to go down for his films.

Tobe Hooper directed the movie. Spielberg just did everything else.

Great reaction to an old favorite! Steven Spielberg directorial debut started in 1971 with the film 'Duel'. Suggest you add to your Spielberg movie list and do a future reaction video. Glad you did Poltergeist. I would clasify 'Duel' as an october movie as well.

The movie was directed by Tobe Hooper (the texas chainsaw massacre) with Steven Spielberg as executive producer and truly, you can see Spielberg signature style all over. So much so that many think he waa the unnofficial director of Poltergeist The movie very successfully blends familly drama, supernatural thriller and injects touches of comedy and horror without any of those facets feeling out of place. Maybe not one of the scariest horror movies ever, but a thrilling ride nonetheless. I just love this movie. Also for this month, try to watch The Fly by the master of Body Horror David Cronnenberg starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. Extremely disturbing and one of the best horror movies of the 80's. The make up still holds up today (meaning you will be grossed out). As always your reactions are delightful to watch.

The filmmaking in this movie is very clever because the beginning shows us many instances of our everyday lives where things move "by themselves". The RC cars are controlled by a signal, the TV signals jumble up and the channels change seemingly by themselves, and the little wind up robot that is mechanical. It shows we already live in a world where there are invisible forces that make objects move by themselves, and that ghosts are a natural extension of that. That's why the only portal to our world they have is empty signals, invisible currents in the air that spirits can sometimes catch a ride on. The movie also quickly introduces the theme of respecting the dead: the jaded affluent mother is gonna flush a dead canary down the toilet and replace it before the kids notice, but the innocent little girl is sad for the bird and wants it properly buried. She worries about the bird being fed, warm, and kept company in death, and treats it like it were still alive. Then almost immediately, the family digs up the birds grave to build a swimming pool and Carol Anne gets a goldfish and gets over it. That's why the ghosts are so pissed, because by being ghosts they aren't really dead, but their remains have been treated like they are. They've been forgotten and disrespected by the living, who only use vague spiritual reasoning to honor the dead. "We'll put a headstone with their name on it. Then we'll put flowers on the grave. This area is beautiful to rest, but it would be more beautiful to live in. Lets move the cemetery and build houses. Im sure the dead wont mind. Afterall they're dead." But the ghosts arent really dead because they're still here. They're still people. I think the movie ends perfectly by showing it's the living people's fault this happened, so the ghosts "reclaim" the land by eating the house in front of everyone. The family doesn't win, they just leave, because they should leave. It's the spirits land

My oldest sister looked just like Carol Anne. I was two when it came out, but my mom loved movies like this. I remember watching it with my family when I was like 6. Still one of my favorites.

Tobe Hooper directed this and also the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 & 2 . They are worth reacting to when you’ve built up yur fear tolerance. Ha!

You are learning why Spielberg is famous. He was entertainment master in the 1970s and 80s. Scifi, fantasy adventure etc

25:29 "We can't have nice things" ROFL

Fun one, Kamilla! I saw this one in the theater the summer of '82. I was 21. The other big movie that summer was E.T. Spielberg had two blockbusters the same summer. Holy moly! Good times. 😃

Recently saw this movie (and going to watch sequels soon), and I’m not usually one to get scared often-but omg this movie actually scared the crap out of me

Diane wasn't scared at the point she was getting "rolled", she was PISSED; it was keeping her from getting to her kids. And she'd already been through a lot by then; Diane Freeling was a STRONG woman.

"Carrie" (1976)", "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), "Creepshow" (1983), "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" (1978), and "An American Werewolf In London" (1981).....those are the horror movies I'd really be interested in seeing you do reactions to! Those are all special, one-of-a-kind movies.

Dominique Dunne who played the oldest daughter was murdered by Her ex-boyfriend in 1982

Excellent way to kick off October! Poltergeist traumatized me as a child, but it is my all time favorite horror film. The imagery and story/music has scarred me for life, but what an astounding experience to have had when you believe what you are watching to be real.

This is kind of based on a real event. In the 70's 80's and 90's they were building suburbs as fast as they could. One suburb was put in below an old abandon silver mining ghost town. They had a massive storm go through the area and in the morning they found out the Ghost Town Cemetery had washed down into the suburb over night. People had coffins and skeletons all over their front and back yards. :)

(not so) Fun Fact: In the pool scene(at 24:25), the skeletons/bodies used were actually REAL. It was cheaper to get real bodies than it would have been to get artificial skeletons/bodies.

What's crazy is that this movie came out at the same time as E.T. and, as a fifth grader, I couldn't tell from the newspaper ads which movie was the scary one.

Anybody else remember those days before cable, when the networks would sign off after midnight and the tv would just be static for a few hours until morning? Many times as a kid I’d fall asleep on the couch watching Saturday Night Live, only to wake up hours later to a screen full of static.

13:28 Ahh, the age old question of "How do you get a person out of a TV ?" ........Well you'll soon see.

7:30 Back in the day TV stations didn't transmit 24/7. They would shut down the transmitter in the middle of the night, but before shutting down they would play the National Anthem while showing patriotic images. They did this because no one wanted to pay for advertising when hardly anyone was watching TV. Then someone figured out that some companies would pay a lot of money to show very long advertisements and the "infomercial" was born.

Centane: "Are we not going to talk about the clown?" Me: "Oh no!"

21:04 that's me at work, you're right you do it 😹😹😹😹😹

I think this is the first time I heard you say your channel name. I thought it would be pronounced differently. Loved the reaction.

I couldn't be happier that you're doing a Spooktober! I will say this about this story, there's a novelization of the movie and it's one of the scariest things I've ever read. It's much more spooky than the movie. You're just the best reactor and I can't appreciate you more! I love "watching" movies with you!

Great reaction video. Tobe Hooper direceted this movie and for some reason hollywood applied a shadow banning on him after this film.... weird stories are told around this movie but it's truly a classic!

KAMILLA: "How do you get a person out of the tv?" ME: You could try changing the channel.

The skeletons in the pool at the end were real, bought from a company that sold skeletons to schools, medical centers, and research facilities. They were cheaper and easier to get than fake ones, which weren’t as easily available as they are now. The actress wasn’t told this until after the filming was done.

You might wanna check out the story of the Super Bowl 1988 poster. It is visible in your video on the wall behind Robbie's bed at around 5:58. Remember the movie came out in 1982 and there's a poster for the 1988 Super Bowl on the wall. If that wasn't weird enough, this Super Bowl took place in San Diego on the very night that Heather O'rourke was rushed to the hospital where she died the next day. She died in San Diego as well. Thinking about it that's creepy a.f.

Best quote in this video, "...this is why we can't have nice things." XD

The house just ate itself...LOL! No! The house imploded into the other side (spiritual plane or side).

The house is haunted by the demonic spirit of Tweety Bird. “I tawt I taw a poltergeist. I DID! I DID TAW A POLTERGEIST!!”

Poltergeist 2 is a good one too. You would get to see the beast in the flesh. His name is Henry (the beast) Kane. He’s the preacher in the movie. He’s extremely menacing.

Spooktober? Already a classic

The little girl that played the daughter got sick while filming Poltergeist 3 about 6 years later (aged 12) and died just after filming was complete

Dude. He was never looking to buy a new house. He's a realtor. He sells houses for a living.

I actually saw this in the theater. I was 6 years old!

"Little Girl Lost" is episode 91 of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It is about a young girl who has accidentally passed through an opening into another dimension. Her parents and their friend attempt to locate and retrieve her. It is based on the 1953 short story by Richard Matheson.

Craig T Nelson plays the Father. He is the voice of Mr Incredible.

PS: As usual, I loved this reaction, Kamila, you are always so much fun to re-visit my favorite movies with, and this was no exception. Good luck with school and work and everything! And THANKS for keeping your channel up during this busy time in your life!

Fun fact, the skeletons used in the movie were real skeletons. Now you need to watch poltergeist II.

hey Camilla, I love the cricket sweater vest.

Your editing is really good. A+ 🔥

Ok Centane , I’m an old school horror film fan and I must insist that you watch a movie that this generation has somehow missed. Sam Raimi’s cult classic EVIL DEAD 2! Skip the first one because the 2nd is a reboot/remake with a bigger budget and it’s just brilliant! It’s a horror film that’s also a comedy ..an absolute must for any horror fan!

Love this movie 🍿

I have seen tons of horror movies as a kid and all of them were r rated. Poltergeist a PG rated movie scared me the most in the movie theaters!

5:55 It's hard to remember, but there was a time when clowns weren't considered creepy. They were colorful and silly people meant to entertain small children. John Wayne Gacy and horror movies have changed that forever. Clowns have kind of become the prime example of something that is supposed to be innocent and harmless but feels sinister anyway.

You have my favorite reaction to this movie! Very beautiful as well & really like your nails

Fun fact, the skeletons in the pool scene were actually real, at the time of production, it was easier to buy real skeletons than to have then constructed. she swam in skeleton soup...lol ❤❤☮☮✌✌

happy Spooktober Kamilla!

Tobe Hooper directed this movie but rarely gets the credit. That’s because Spielberg produced and was very hands on. He was so hands on that the crew and Hooper himself got frustrated with him. He certainly had an impact on the movie but this is Hooper’s film.

A lot of the special effects in 1982 when this was released, were new. Spielberg and Lucas pioneered many effects and made them better and more dramatic and more realistic in their films. That made them famous. REMEMBER no cgi then. it didn't exist. it was all practical affects

24:30, THOSE WERE REAL SKELETONS!!!!

No one died in the film. This movie is similar to a Twilight Zone episode also about a little girl stuck in another dimension in the family house. I would be surprised if Spielberg hadn't seen it.

Actually this movie is directed by Tobe Hooper who directed Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Spielberg only produced this because he was busy directing ET as the time.

Tobe Hooper was the director, spielberg was the producer, btw the skeletons in the pool were real.

they're here 😱😱

Another 80s classic. Do you have any of these on your list? The Decent Rec🔹(Spanish) Train to Busan (Korean) The Host (Korean) Let the right one in (sweeden)

I thought the skeletal ghoul was so fucking cool.

one of the most intense and scariest supernatural movies of all time is The Entity from the early 80s. Specially for women I would imagine the movie to be extremely difficult. But if you're up to it, check out that movie. Supposedly based on a true story.

My mom took me to see this in the theater when I was nine. Thanks, mom, ya big jerk! lol

Back when tv used to go off air after playing the national anthem and all you had was “snow” and static.

With the Intro, your Accent (Maybe due to October theme) feels like you could do a convincing "Transylvania" Accent.

I like your reactions, you get emotional and i like that, it shows your character ;) i get emotional too

I LOVE this movie!! Excellent choice!! An absolute MUST WATCH for Halloween Month!!
