Poltergeist
October 30 / 7:00 pm & November 1 / 2:00 pm
Starring JoBeth Williams, Heather O’Rourke, & Craig T. Nelson
A family’s home becomes the center of paranormal activity that opens a doorway to the “other side.” With help, they must cross over to get their daughter back.
Both of the terrors that plague Robbie came from Steven Spielberg’s own fears as a child: a fear of clowns and a tree outside his window.
Drew Barrymore was considered for the role of Carol Anne, but producer Steven Spielberg wanted someone “more angelic.” Barrymore’s audition ultimately landed her the part of Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982).
The film was originally given an R rating, from the Motion Picture Association (MPA) due to scenes of a child in peril despite little gore in the film. The rating was lowered to ‘PG’ on appeal. The film predates the PG-13 rating by two years which is the rating this film would have most certainly gotten without issues
