Poltergeist (1982)

They’re heeeeeeeerrrre! Ghosts that is. Or, more specifically, Poltergeists, or even more specifically, Tobe Hooper’s (Spielberg’s?) 1982 horror classic, Poltergeist. This spooky little diddy tells the story of a perfect little nuclear family just doing family stuff when suddenly strange, but harmless, things start happening. But after while, that all changes and they realize the house presents a very clear and present danger. Will they leave? No, they don’t seem to be that smart, so they are probably gonna hire an odd dwarfish little woman with bad hair to clean their house. Anywho, this thing stars Coach, was nominated for 3 Oscars, and was co-written, and possibly co-directed by, Steven Spielberg. Not bad. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate ghastly emissions and magical little people as we try to figure out if this house is clean, or if it’s actually just a nice façade crudely placed on a pile of bodies.
