Poltergeist 1,2,and 3 - "They're Back"

Poltergeist movie series
The Poltergeist Movies are a series of horror films produced by Steven Spielberg from 1982 to 1988.

In the first movie, the family's 5 year-old daughter, "Carol Anne," is taken through a television set by a group of ghosts and held hostage. A spiritual healer and a ghost expert are eventually brought in, allowing her mother to also pass through the TV to the "other world" to save her.

The two sequels (1986 and 1988) followed a path of different ghosts stalking "Carol Anne" and her other family members too.

Some of the stars in the movie suffered unfortunate fate, for which the movie series has been dubbed as having a Poltergeist Curse.


Partial credits
Craig T. Nelson, Steve Freeling
JoBeth Williams, Diane Freeling
Dominique Dunne, Dana Freeling
Heather O'Rourke, Carol Anne Freeling

A TV series, Poltergeist, The Legacy, is a spin-off of this movie series.
Movie producers had planned to film more sequels, but those plans were dashed by O'Rourke's death at the age of 12.


Heather O'Rourke

Heather O'Rourke
27th Dec 1975 - 1st Feb 1988

This girl was so amazing in the 3 movies, has anyone seen it?

It's sad that she died at a very young age.

Yeah, I've seen the Poltergeist movies. Heather was superb. I was upset when I learnt she had died.

I wouldn't mind watching them at night - as long as I get to watch them during a summer night (because of the bright daylight in the summers here). Anyhow, it has been quite some time since I last watched any of these movies.

I wouldn't want to do it when it's all dark outside. :shudders: Not even now, so I know what you mean.

I enjoyed the poltergiest movies. The first one epsecially. It was very sad to hear about the deaths of Domminique Dunne and Heather O'Rourke. They were both so young.

They were good movies. It was sad that Heather had to die so young. She would have been 29 today if she was still alive. I heard that she died halfway through filming the third movie and they had to use a double.

It was very tragic. Heather was ill throughout the filming and one morning she was rushed to hospital.

Domminique Dunne who played Heathers sister in the first movie was strangled by her boyfriend and later died. She was only 20 at the time I think.
