episode 148: Poltergeist
Katie and Bridget dive head first into a closet as they re-watch the movie: Poltergeist! It's a story all about a nice, healthy, normal family, who all like each other and treat each other with love and respect... In the 80s! Clearly this is a FICTIONAL story! Come along as we meet our nice American family being plagued by ghosts(!?), demons(!?), I guess also a poltergeist(!?!?) - honestly its just a lot of terrible spooky stuff happening, all run by ghosts wearing hats! We've got kidnapped kids, evil clown dolls, sentient trees, and a Willy Wonka staircase all going on in this movie. Will the family be able to get their daughter, Carol Anne, back from the TV? Well spoiler alert, as Zelda said: "Now let's go get your daughter back." (and then Katie screamed with joy)! Released in 1982, it was co-written by Steven Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper.
