Forbidden Cinema - 27 - Poltergeist

What better mashup than the ET Guy and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre guy. Surely that will work. Strangely it does and creates one of the best haunted house movies ever made. We go way back to 1982 and watched Poltergeist for the first time for either of us. We delve into what would be done with a forbidden film in our respective households. We talk about how much of a debt one of our favorite films, Ghostbusters, owes to this. We discuss the supposed curse and spend a moment reflecting on the real life tragedies that accompanied the cast of the film. We also talk about how much we love to see an adult couple in a film who seem to actually like each other, seems rare these days.
