They’re heeeeeeere.
It’s time to summon Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg’s 1982 masterpiece Poltergeist for our Sunday Scaries series presented by Play It By Fear!
Nothing is as it seems in sunny suburbia, where cookie-cutter homes and smiling families mask a gateway to the beyond. When the Freeling family’s youngest daughter mysteriously vanishes into the television set, their idyllic life unravels into a parade of sinister spirits, creepy clowns, ravenous trees, and otherworldly terrors. Can they rescue her before she’s lost to the other side forever?
A cornerstone of 1980s supernatural cinema, Poltergeist blends the very best elements of horror and blends them into a suburban nightmare. Make sure to get there early for our Physical Media Day celebration of all things VHS, DVD, blu rays, posters, and beyond!
