Dr. Lesh...
Some people believe that when you die there is a wonderful light. As
bright as the sun but it doesn't hurt to look into it. All the answers
to all the questions you want to know are inside that light. And when
you walk to it... you become a part of it forever. Now, some people die,
but they don't know they're gone.
Poltergeist
This ghost story had a fabulous cast! JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, Beatrice Straight, Zelda Rubinstein, and Richard Lawson! It's classic 1980's Steven Spielberg shtick, not as much in the scares and thrills, but rather spotting references to his other films. Let's see, there's a nod to Jaws, ET, Close Encounters Of The First Kind, A Guy Named Joe, which of course, wasn't a Spielberg film but, Always, which was based on, A Guy Named Joe, was, and can be seen on the tv in the Freeling home. But as 1980's ghost stories go it's amazing, with some, jump off the screen frights, but there are a lot of predictable ones too. It was always disappointing that this genre of movie had to show a gross scene to give itself relevance, but that was the 80's! It's a good movie, with a strangely poignant story, and I am glad that I just have to watch it, several times a year!
Bonus! Here is an interesting read about spookiness on and off the set of, Poltergeist. Did You know there was a curse surrounding the film? Is it an urban legend, or was it real?
