It's one hell of a cool movie, and an incredible example of non-cg special effects

i watch the exorcist at least once a year. so my thoughts on poltergeist. wow those effects, holy cow. was a genuinely scary film for something from 1982, it really works well still. compared to the recent remake, was just brilliant. the remake isn't awful either but it felt much more hollywood if that makes sense. the tree being entirely practical was just loving brilliant and i cant believe what they achieved with it, and the hands coming from the tv etc. will be watching this every october from now on

i was six when it came out and i think eight or nine when i finally saw it and holy poo poo did that movie scare the hell out of me

it had obviously been out awhile when i saw it but i was about the same age, it was my second horror film, my first being jaws when i was 7 and they both totally traumatized me, but in a good way, since to this day i love the horror genre immensely.

jaws... i had this shark attack book that i bought for like $1 at a used book fair and id read little bits of it when i was on the toilet. combine that with jaws and there were times in my youth i was afraid to take a bath because i thought the bathtub might just open up below me and id be attacked by a shark...

just the idea that your tv could be a vessel for evil... and this preceded my disbelief in santa claus

Return of the Living Dead is one of my favorite 80s cult horror movies, hands down.

seems like a lot of these movies would have ended up differently if someone had just used a pheonix down
