- A typical family in a quiet suburb of a normal California faces a frightening ordeal when its home is invaded by a Poltergeist. Late one night, 10-year-old Carol Anne Freeling (Heather O'Rourke) hears a voice coming from inside the television set ... At first, the spirits that invade the Freeling's home seem like playful children. But then they turn angry. And when Carol Anne is pulled from this world into another, Steve and Diane Freeling (Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams--In the Land of Women) turn to an exorcist (Zelda Rubinstein) in this horror classic from director Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre films) and producer and screenwriter Steven Spielberg.

The most terrifying part of this is the guy tasting the sauce and putting back the spoon in the pot
Yes cause it's not like they're family or anything 🤦♀️
I hope she heated that stuff back up to boiling. 😂
@@brey1720it was a worker tasting the sauce not a member of the family
@brey1720 What is wrong with people like you on the internet? Are you really that much of an idiocracy character that you don't have the attention span to watch an 8-minute video? Let alone comprehend what you were responding to in the first place. You're literally those people from idiocracy. Go drink your electrolytes.
@@jamiehardcastle4999that is what brey said...
Poltergeist is a movie that gives me that comforting 80s nostalgia I crave on a rainy sunday evening
...... On a rainy Sunday evening, in that Victorian house u just bought cz it's inexplicably been on th market for so long, and u figure, hey, it's a fixer_upper.....
Not me. I was struggling to escape from a very dysfunctional family in a haunted house. No nostalgia for me.
Everything was wholesome then
My mom & I used to watch horror classics on Sundays too.
The chair stack is such a powerful “scary” movie moment. So memorable. So disconcerting.
Fun fact: the chair stack scene is based on an actual incident in the famous Rosenheim poltergeist case in Bavaria, Germany. The manager of the haunted law office was opening the morning mail with a paper knife at his desk one morning, when a colleague asked him a question from a nearby room. The manager rose from his chair to walk over to answer her, but had only taken a step or two when he heard a ''thump" behind him, and spun round. There on his desk was a painting from a nearby wall with the mail neatly stacked on top of it, and the paper knife placed carefully on top. There was no one else in the room at the time, and no way anyone could have stacked the mail in the second or two he'd had his back turned. Spielberg found the incident so unnerving he based the chair stacking scene on it.
A masterpiece of a scene. Long scene no cuts. Then the fade from one kitchen to the exact same kitchen in a home for sale. Brilliant.
This whole movie is an allegory of nightmare suburban expansion/living.
Never thought of it like that but yeah your kinda right on that one
This was the first horror movie I ever watched. My grandmother was a horror fan and I was spending the night with her. I was only seven years old and it made my parents mad that she let me watch it but I loved it! RIP, grandma!
Trop mignon votre commentaire ❤
First date movie
Lucky you. I couldn’t handle the genre at 7
That’s a good grandma you have
Had,,,, bless her
I can’t believe this is 42 years ago. Seems like yesterday
The value of films after 1972. They date so well.
Its stood the test of time for sure…
Certainly makes me feel ancient!
@@sandywa3057I wish I could go back
@@user-lt5be9jl4q You and me both! I can’t believe the times we are living in. I know each generation says that but nothing compares to what is happening now. The devastating tornadoes..the climate in general, young people gone missing, the horrible violence, the economy, our country being taken over by a group of people I dare not mention, etc. Sorry..didn’t mean to write a novel..lol
When Americans could afford to live, and Jo-Beth Williams' legs were 2nd to none.
And people used those old metal trash cans!
Amen!
And when you threw your land yacht into park it rocked back and forth for a minute!
@@adopequeenatyrantkingaboss8057better days for sure
Too bad there aren’t any more Indian burial grounds to build cheap houses on
I love the way she jumps up and down like a cheerleader when the chair finally slides across the floor. How adorable is that I ask you?
I love that part! Also when says "We'll go to Pizza Hut".
It's an amazing scene and act because it makes you feel that she was nervous all day long that when her husband comes home the craziness wouldn't show itself. But it did and she was ecstatic. They just don't make movies like this anymore.
I was too focused on her denim shorts. What a beaut of a woman. She seems to be the only one, other than Craig, to have been left untouched by.....whatever's been going on with the cast.
@@user-vc1oz9rv6v yes, a beauty indeed. Blessed by God.
Yes, I do love that cheerleader jump. I was never a cheerleader myself, but you recognize it immediately. I wonder if she put that in herself, revealing a little bit about her past as former cheer squad member? It seemed to come so naturally.
Later her enthusiasm turns to terror of course. Eeek.
Fun fact: Tobe Hooper was the director but Spielberg had his eye on the camera the entire movie - his signature shots, rule of thirds, and rhythm and pacing is evident the entire movie.🍿🎬🎥
What is the rule of thirds? Is that doing at least three different shots in succession and not two shots back and forth?
Never mind, I looked it up.
A few weeks ago, I was heading home from my brothers house. I stopped at the local taco joint to grab some take-out. On the way to the restaurant, I passed the cemetery where both of my parents are buried. My mom passed away in June 2023. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, the kid behind the counter was calling out a name for a take-out order. "Luz!" he shouted. My mom's name was Luz (Spanish for "light."). Even in a area with large Hispanic population, I rarely hear that name. The very next morning, I had to grab an Uber to catch an early flight. When the app found the first available driver, it provided the license number of the car and of course the name of the driver... "Ray." Ray was my dad's name. He passed away in 2016. They were married for over 50 years. True story.
They are truly with us. And they let us know. ❤
Loved ones who pass can communicate wi us in very subtle ways.I just recently lost someone I was close to in the last 48 hours so I'm feeling a bit raw n in shock atm its surreal weird empty feeln lost cant beleive hes gone he was only 24 years old too so sad x
Where are you from?
Okay, that chair pyramid would not have been considered cute. New house search same afternoon 😂😂😂😂
If I saw my chairs doing that I’d move.
and not wait until zombies popped up in yr swimming pool
Your right no one stacks books like this? Opps wrong movie
I would move into that house too. but only if i knew the ghost that haunted it. Coz ya never know what yer gunna get? Only had 2 entities show up that were bad. and one was still human.
And I’d leave that table and chairs 🪑 🪑 behind! 😱
@@makeitsonumberone1358
who were you thinking of calling? 😅
"Oh honey, you are going to ruin you're eyes this is no good" as she switches it to a war scene. LOL!
A horror movie so good it was nominated for best picture Oscar.
???
No it wasn't. It was nominated for:
Best Score,
Best visual Effects,
Best sound Editing.
Watched this when I was 6. After...i didn't sleep for about 3 years.
Same here. And I was 12 😮
My favourite supernatural film. Brilliant and I have watched this so many times and never get bored.
Exactly. Thee are SO many parts that are amazing to rewatch it just never gets old. Agree!
The chairs, the tree, the closet, the face peeling, the clown, the Beast, the house implosion. Super fun movie! 10/10!
I would pay a kings ransom to go to a pizza hut in 1982 just one more time!
Red glasses, 1$ pitchers, cold ashtrays…
@@ekimnamdets6946 The pan pizza and the arcade, I remember my folks purchacing the pitcher and getting free refills of soda every visit
All you can eat 🍕🥗🍦🍲🍕🍟🍦🍦🥞🍗🍝🥗🍕🍟🥤
So many parts of this scene make me laugh, from the switching the TV to a war movie for her five year old to the lowering of the blinds in the guy’s face, but the dog begging and bringing his toy to a random place in the ceiling always spooked me.
2:35 This part spooked me. When the little girl looked her mother dead in the eye and says "Do you?".
Did you hear the Boba Fett scream?
"Don't ruin your eyes!" - puts on deafeningly loud sounds a decimeter from the girl's ears.
And on top of it all, it's a war movie. The usual Monday morning program in America.
Decimeter? Are you one of them Cummonists?
It was the eighties! Nothing could harm you back then.
I actually responded to this earlier and CZcams deleted it for some bizarre reason.
“Plays video showing war”
I saw this movie in the theaters in 1982 with my grandma, who had many ghost stories of her own. Sadly, she's no longer here, and best as I can tell, still not a ghost. But she loved this movie. :-)
HA!, HA! I love that line when she tells her husband…”Now reach back in your past when you used to have an open mind…”. LOL!! Brilliant writing in this classic movie! The fact that he didn’t get the sarcasm had me on the floor laughing into the carpet! 😂
1982, WHAT A YEAR!!!
I was 12 and I saw these movies in theaters:
QUEST FOR FIRE (underrated, won the Oscar for best Make-up)
CONAN THE BARBARIAN,
POLTERGEIST (twice),
E.T. (twice),
TRON,
BLADE RUNNER,
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP,
HALLOWEEN 3 (I love that movie, I don't care what anyone says),
THE DARK CRYSTAL (twice),
TOOTSIE (twice).
I wanted to see THE THING, but it was such a bomb, it played in one theater near me for two weeks and was gone. Saw it on VHS years later and LOVED IT!!!!
Halloween 3 is the darkest one in my opinion...of the Halloween movies.
Saw this in the theater. When the guy was pulling his face apart in the mirror a teenaged girl sitting a row behind me started crying hysterically. Scarred for life
This movie outshines anything that's come out in horror in the last decade.....before pg-13 ratings, and scares that haunted your mind for days after watching for your 1st time. Tobe was a God of the genre!
When houses in Los Angeles were $139,000
This one won’t be appreciating though. Can still be had for a bargain.
Which was a lot of money at that time.
Today’s money around $450000.
Good observation.
@@paultruesdale7680 That's still pretty good. Simi Valley home, I believe.
Right an interest rates were over 16% lol
Is it just me or is the mom in phenomenal shape? Seriously. You know she was doing her Jane Fonda workouts
She looks awesome in those shorts.
She always looked like that.
Unlike her character she hadn’t had children at the hat point in her life yet..
42 years ago! Can still vaguely remember watching this in the theater. Impressed the hell out of us. American Dad did a great send up of that movie.
It was family guy not American dad
@@makeitsonumberone1358 Ok I think both AD and FG both did it. Pretty sure.
The 80ths ,what a brilliant time .
Such a masterpiece of great 80's horror😊
2nd Poltergeist was better. Scared the hell out of me
“Oh, you know, just dishes and furniture moving around by themselves” *waving at bugs the guy can’t see*
The guy: 👁️ 👄 👁️
Heather's demise was the real terror.
She is still a little girl....she says the universe is literally everything. the physical and the metaphysical. The material all the way up to the energetic dimensions. 3.0 to 5.4
Wait what do you mean? She survived in the film it was during the filming of the thrid sequel that she (the actor in real life) passes away is that what you are talking about? She was a little girl and had a heart attack or something like that. So sad and crazy it makes me sad for real.
@ichigen511 not a heart attack. She'd got horrible infection and died of sepsis during surgery. Reportedly her Mom said she saw her in the waiting room and told her she'd died.
I think I read that all kinds of strange illnesses and occurrences were happening to others in the film while being made.
I heard that horrific story of her “infection”. I hope it is not the truth.
Those tiled counters are so '80s.
without question, one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Also, my #1 favorite Spielberg movie.
What a movie and it terrified a whole generation of us. Brilliant.
Love the part when Diane is dragging her hubby through the doorway while still he's still holding on to the trash can
I don't know if people today realize what a big deal this movie was when it was released - we saw it 5 or 6 times over 2 weeks and every time the theatre was packed; every seat filled. The Eighties, lol. smh . . .
Funny thing is the 70s were a better time for movies than any year of the 80s.
@@user-rg7uh9se4c Aliens, Terminator, Indiana Jones, Predator, The Right Stuff, ET., just to name a few. The 80's Rocked! Watching Aliens for the first time in the Theater was Epic!
Still remember seeing a FULL page ad in the newspaper for Poltergeist on one side, and a full page for ET on the other! What a great time to be a kid.
@@EasyreclinerBack to the Future!
1982. Ine of the best years of my life. Turned twenty, great movies, great music. Yeah. The perfect year for me.
I agree! I was 19. It was a great year. 1980-1985 were the greatest years for me. I wish I could re-live them.
If Heather O'Rourke was alive today she would go on to do more great horror movies.
RIP Heather
if???
She was a fantastic little actress. RIP to her and her movie sister.
@@JeantheSecond-ip7qm Was?? Last time i felt her ,she was still a little girl.
@@gothboschincarnate3931 She passed a long time ago at age 12 of a stomach issue.
It's very great to see little Carol Ann and her mommy Diane played by Jobeth Williams,in a very delightful and charming scene both exclusively together one on one,in a very cute scene.Yes, Heather was a very lovely cute little young lady,who was an adorabley loveable little child;Both she and this mother daughter scene are some of the films most quality memorable aspects❤.
This movie scared the living sh*t out of me when I was younger.
The war movie she changed the static from: classic 👌 🤣
From 1:35 to 2:22 is one continuous shot with no edits. Amazing filmmaking!
I saw this movie in theatres when I was a teenager. Classic! Not interested in the supernatural then, but am now. So I know that the dog barking at "nothing" on the bedroom wall ( and then doing a perfect "beg" ) is far scarier than it appears.
Rip to sweet baby girl ❤
Who's resting? She is still a little girl....she says the universe is literally everything. The physical and the metaphysical. The material all the way up to the energetic dimensions. 3.0 to 5.4
I’m just glad I don’t have a tv on the same remote as my neighbor.
I was 4 when I first saw this movie. It did scare me as a kid, but the scene that really bothered me the most was the clown doll. I had coulrophobia because of it. 😮
Right? I thought the clown doll was scarier than "the beast".
The tree was pretty terrifying
I can still hear that theme playing in my head when I think about the movie, even all these years later.
One of the best scenes in history. Literally gave me goosebumps
2:05 after she pushes the chairs back, look at the waffle iron. You can see the reflection of the table and chairs move.
Wow you're right
Good eye!
I’m 42 years now and something like this would be very hard to deal with
I thought Jobeth Williams was a smokeshow when i saw this movie back then.
Karra looked like her once...
Perfect legs.
Best part of this clip? Jobeth in those shorts.
I saw this movie at least once a week in the 80’s and I could recite almost the entire dialogue including Tangina’s speech to the mother even with her accent. Great movie. Especially when it goes from light hearted wholesome to suspense all the way to shear terror
I just thought of her creepy chanting the other day for some reason. "All are welcome...all are welcome..."
"go into the light....there is peace and tranquility....in the light..."👻
@@joshuah910930 years later I finally understand that. She was directing all the lost souls toward the light so they can finally rest and at the same time the mother could find Carol Ann and bring her through the portal
Holy sh*t, when Steven started yelling for Diane then started pulling back on the rope and that damn demon face came out of the closet door… hell no. I was NOT expecting that the first time I saw this movie. 😳
@@charleskroman5006 I can't remember if I totally understood what she was doing when I first saw this, but I do remember how EVERYONE loved this character (myself included). She pretty much stole the show.
I love this movie so much. Always have, always will. 🙂
RIP Heather O'Rourke she was adorable
The second movie, gives me nightmares with the creepy preacher man. His voice and face makes me nauseated..
Me too. I couldn't sleep without the lights on
God Is in his holy temple haha totally spooky.
He was dying of cancer during the movie
Kane, he is still one of the most scary horror film villains if not the most!
@@davidmcginnis16😱😱
The most horrifying things from this movie were actually pretty common 80's things. A war movie for a kid, a worker blatantly tasting the food, sexual harassment by the aforementioned workers to the female teenager of the house and treating it as just plain funny...the list is almost endless😂
I saw this in the theater when I was 8 years old. The rest of my summer was totally ruined. It scared the living hell out of me.
ah yes, 1982 when the average middle class family could actually afford a house, in the US or UK for that matter.
👍 I remember seeing this movie in the movie theater with people back in '82.What a great experience. 😎 Class of '83 here.
One if my favorite films of all time.
40 years later and this movie still creeps me out hahaha
8:18 in the morning I'm going to call somebody in
Diane: who ya gonna call?
GHOST BUSTERS!
This was the first horror movie I loved. I’m a big horror fan now.
This was a great movie I seen it like 85 times as a kid wish it would come out on dvd so I can watch it again they need to make a remake of it for the kids today but I don't know about that.
Me seeing the chairs stacked like a fountain: we're being haunted by a showman!
Poltergeist, The Exorcist and The Hand that rocks the cradle are some of the movies that most scared me as a child‼️
Love this movie. The way it builds, you know bad stuff is gonna happen but just how and when, oh yeah.
I have a good one for you. I dont kw if the link I post will get deleted but I can email it? .
Bridgette Anderson "nailed" her role, in this film! Terrific job! We haven't forgotten about you. Savannah STILL smiles!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The chairs were just responding to Jo Beth Williams' jean shorts.
See, I would be gone once I saw the chair jenga happening.
This movie brings back some great memories I was 12 years old and I was enjoying every moment of this movie our home in Tampa fl our home was very semiliar I would give anything to go back to that time life was easy and simple that’s when
Best scene when the crew see the child go across the floor - metres in seconds LOL
I couldn't tell what the dog was barking at. I always thought it was a hole made from the night before when the poltergeist shot out of the T.V and into the wall. But now it just looks like some pendent? anyone else notice this?
Somewhat of a one -of-a-kind movie; Tense, thrilling and crazy suspenseful and yet nobody gets killed or even seriously injured. Great fun to watch with kids, say, 10 or older.
such great scenes.
I have 4 kids. If we had a ghost I wouldn’t even notice. I’d just think my kids are up to something weird again.
To me one of the greatest scary films ever. Luv it
The kitchen scene would have made me get out of that house immediately.. I wouldn't have stayed around like they did
One of the great jump scares of all time.
The Sixth Sense clearly referenced this when Cole's mother is reacting to all the open cupboards and drawers in the kitchen.
In Buffalo NY there is an armoury built over a one time near-giant cemetery. The bodies were moved to other cemeteries but did they get all of them?
Probably not. Ever heard of Cheeseman Park in Denver?
I love how the dog wants the ghosts to play with him - he even goes to get his toy from the other room! I guess some of the ghosts were friendly.
I need to see this movie 🍿 please 🙏. I promise I will watch it every single day after work
Oh, that famous cutscene.
I figured this out.
My guess is you were tracking me when I moved from one room to the other.
At some point (you could probably see it in the Internet traffic) we turned half of the kitchen into a bedroom, which I moved into. We had a big screen projector TV in there, which that room was just storage and I was sleeping there.
At that time, I didn’t really go on the Internet much. I was mostly at school, doing assignments or exercising, playing Dreamcast (shenmu, sonic, phantasy star online/offline, soul calibur) or just trying to stay out of everyone’s way. You were probably looking at my abdomen and sides/back
At that time, Eric was in the bedroom I later occupied. He then got the corner room.
My guess is you can also see everybody’s Internet, traffic and habits, which should help.
Thank you Mariah!
At the beginning of the clip, the mother is laughing because her eldest daughter had just given the finger to the workers, who had told her some dirty stuff.
I was always surprised by the mother's laid back reaction... I imagine Aurora Greenaway in that situation, going out and reading them the riot act...
Was 10 years old when I saw this in the theater with my family on vacation in Palm Springs. The clown in the son’s room still has me hating them to this day. Great movie.
First I watched this was in the 80s. I am still scared.
I just saw this again a few months ago. Great movie.
did you watch it on the internet?
after all these years, they still haven't fixed this erupt cut. 6:35 When i saw it in the theaters, i cant remember this strange cut being there.
"Reach back into your past when you had an open mind."
Aww, this is so cute. And horrific. If you lived through the 70's and all the blood and gore slasher movies, then this movie was so quietly frightening and involved REALLY little kids, it was out there--almost a Rosemary's Baby kind of vibe--except for the humor and of course when all hell breaks loose. But I need to re-watch everything I saw in the 80's as a little guy! And everybody is so young, isn't that the guy from "Coach?" (Oh my God, I'm just reading the description, this was made by the Texas Chainsaw guy!!?? But there you go, that was the blood and gore I was talking about-what a change in style!)
6:53 - Damn!! Hearing That mosquito sound with headphones is very annoying. Its looks like they are truly flying around my head. And in the end it lands on my right ear.
The mom sacrificed the kid first on the portal...but with a helmet for safety
These movies back in the 80s were really something. The 2000 kids wont understand 😅
I was born in 2003 and love Poltergeist. My favorite movie of all time.
I like to think that at the beginning of the movie the spirits were just playing around, scaring for fun and delighting themselves with interacting with the physical world. But as they did this more the potential energy grew, and soon malevolent spirits and the beast were drawn forth who dominated the playing field.
Love this movie ❤
Great movie!!!!
Unpopular opinion: Poltergeist is better than The Shining
