Poltergeist is like the Ring (only i doubt very many peiople will say it sucks) in that it proved that a PG title could be scary, if it is made by a talented director. It's hard to believe that the guy whjp made TCM made this, but i think it is a tribute to how good Hooper is.
I never bothered with the sequals. The movie is even more freaky if you know about all the tragedy that surrounds the actors in it, specifically the actresses who played the girls.

i thought it was effective when i was a kid (the face ripping off scene) but i never had 'the fear' because i instinctively knew no one was going to get killed (as in the Amityville Horror)
that was the case with PG horror films back in the day - people ran around scared - but they werent killed.. i guess the fear of the character you like getting killed was key for me - put me more in the driver seat so to speak.. the 1st sequal was interesting just for the creepy presence of Julian Beck .. nothing at all to recommend #3 pointess junk.

I think Im retarded, but I though speilberg did poiltergeist, then again I haven't looked anything up. Its a good movie and worth watching, I like the swiming pool full of dead people.

I believe it was a team effort, Spielberg and Hooper. Not sure though. Like I said, I haven't yet seen it.

But I love it, scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Well, two scenes did. :p Think it is a really well-done film.

I've always thought Hooper was a guy who just had lighting strike with TCM, Poltergeist was as good as it was because of the genius he was previledged to work with. Don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with the guy after all he made one of the best films I've ever seen but I just don't think he's all that great.

Well, I finally watched this, and I thought it was very good. The clown scene near the end was terrifying.
