The tree scene and the face rip in the mirror were what really scared me as a kid

Recently watched it, with my kids, they weren't freaked out, at all. The special effects have not held up well. Plus, they have seen Stranger Things.

I saw it one Halloween at the Fox theater in Atlanta on their 70' wide screen. I was awesome.

Quote HistoryQuoted: This movie was made to fuck with little kids. Was supposed to be released with R rating but got thru with a PG, so parents let kids watch. As expected for Pedowood. Just what part of poltergeist caters to pedophilia? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @Giltweasel here's one, you'll have to scroll towards the bottom of article. https://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/the-unbelievably-dark-story-behind-poltergeist-and-its-young-star-heather-orourke/ Does it affect the veracity of the source that the show on which this supposedly occurred(Rocky Road), and the date the last episode aired(March 18,1987) was almost a year before Heather O'Rourke passed away? The link posted suggests she was without any history of health concerns before her death, and I distinctly remember her being hospitalized at least several months before her death for one condition or another. The article implies she performed on this show, was abused during the course of her time of performance, and then nearly immediately suffers her sudden onset of illness and death. That's not the timeline at all, if anyone were to care to look closer. I'm not saying there isn't any sinister background behind her death, but this site doesn't have it locked down by any stretch. |

This movie scared the fuck out of me.
My mother convinced me that boy-eating trees were real, and that we had one in the woods behind our house. This was how she kept me out of the woods when I was young. |
