A typical family in a quiet suburb of a normal California faces a frightening ordeal when its home is invaded by a Poltergeist. Late one night, 10-year-old Carol Anne Freeling (Heather O'Rourke) hears a voice coming from inside the television set ... At first, the spirits that invade the Freeling's home seem like playful children. But then they turn angry. And when Carol Anne is pulled from this world into another, Steve and Diane Freeling (Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams--In the Land of Women) turn to an exorcist (Zelda Rubinstein) in this horror classic from director Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre films) and producer and screenwriter Steven Spielberg.

The chair stack is such a powerful “scary” movie moment. So memorable. So disconcerting.

@chooseyourpoison5105 20 күн бұрын

Fun fact: the chair stack scene is based on an actual incident in the famous Rosenheim poltergeist case in Bavaria, Germany. The manager of the haunted law office was opening the morning mail with a paper knife at his desk one morning, when a colleague asked him a question from a nearby room. The manager rose from his chair to walk over to answer her, but had only taken a step or two when he heard a ''thump" behind him, and spun round. There on his desk was a painting from a nearby wall with the mail neatly stacked on top of it, and the paper knife placed carefully on top. There was no one else in the room at the time, and no way anyone could have stacked the mail in the second or two he'd had his back turned. Spielberg found the incident so unnerving he based the chair stacking scene on it.

A few weeks ago, I was heading home from my brothers house. I stopped at the local taco joint to grab some take-out. On the way to the restaurant, I passed the cemetery where both of my parents are buried. My mom passed away in June 2023. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, the kid behind the counter was calling out a name for a take-out order. "Luz!" he shouted. My mom's name was Luz (Spanish for "light."). Even in a area with large Hispanic population, I rarely hear that name. The very next morning, I had to grab an Uber to catch an early flight. When the app found the first available driver, it provided the license number of the car and of course the name of the driver... "Ray." Ray was my dad's name. He passed away in 2016. They were married for over 50 years. True story.

In Buffalo NY there is an armoury built over a one time near-giant cemetery. The bodies were moved to other cemeteries but did they get all of them?

Probably not. Ever heard of Cheeseman Park in Denver?

I couldn't tell what the dog was barking at. I always thought it was a hole made from the night before when the poltergeist shot out of the T.V and into the wall. But now it just looks like some pendent? anyone else notice this?

The chairs were just responding to Jo Beth Williams' jean shorts.

I remember you could see the people stacking the chairs quickly in the reflection of the kettle when Diane is bent down in the cupboard & they CGId it out in newer versions

Who cares about the chairs... The dog bringing a toy😊

I saw this film maybe 4 times when it came out and not again until last year. I was worried it might not have stood the test of time. I loved it. It brought back memories, but I wasn't even disconcerted, let alone scared until the only non-supernatural moment of tension. And it was the one thing that I had completely forgotten. Spoiler alert I was genuinely all tensed up by seeing her trying to get out of the pool, with the edge just falling away as wet mud under her hands. That was genuinely scary to me.

Best scene when the crew see the child go across the floor - metres in seconds LOL

I love how the dog wants the ghosts to play with him - he even goes to get his toy from the other room! I guess some of the ghosts were friendly.

The kitchen scene would have made me get out of that house immediately.. I wouldn't have stayed around like they did

The Sixth Sense clearly referenced this when Cole's mother is reacting to all the open cupboards and drawers in the kitchen.

When I was younger my sister and brother in law stacked the chairs on the dining room table after I had left to get something really quick. Scared the bejeezus out of me and to this day I have no idea how they did it so quickly. I literally thought it was a Poltergeist until I heard them laughing at me. Worst 10 seconds of my life😮.

Sorry but that made me laugh, sort of joke I would play.

Mariah, that “blank screen” on the projector TV was essentially me playing Dreamcast. Shenmu, Sonic, Soul Calibur, and Phantasy Star Online (they had off-line. I was terribly addicted) Besides rowing and exercise :-/ Most of my time now is occupied with just trying to track everything, and the clues now. It would be nice to talk directly! If you’ve talked to Danny, You know exactly what you Are Going To Get!

Loved this movie!! One of my favourite with ghosts But personally I don't think I would live in a hounted house like that. 😂😂😂

after all these years, they still haven't fixed this erupt cut. 6:35 When i saw it in the theaters, i cant remember this strange cut being there.

@user-um9sl1kj6u Ай бұрын

I figured this out. My guess is you were tracking me when I moved from one room to the other. At some point (you could probably see it in the Internet traffic) we turned half of the kitchen into a bedroom, which I moved into. We had a big screen projector TV in there, which that room was just storage and I was sleeping there. At that time, I didn’t really go on the Internet much. I was mostly at school, doing assignments or exercising, playing Dreamcast (shenmu, sonic, phantasy star online/offline, soul calibur) or just trying to stay out of everyone’s way. You were probably looking at my abdomen and sides/back At that time, Eric was in the bedroom I later occupied. He then got the corner room. My guess is you can also see everybody’s Internet, traffic and habits, which should help. Thank you Mariah!
