Movie trailers from the 80s were far superior to today’s mind-blowing, chill-inducing, demographic-targeting previews.

Also, I had to share this… from Ace Show Biz dot com (The Ace in Entertainment Zone, btw), an incredible summary of the film:

Considerably one of the most scariest movies ever made, the original “Poltergeist” tells the creepy story of a family home being haunted by a band of ghosts.

And now, the most scariest parts of Poltergeist in five seconds…

Oh, sorry, that last one was equally scary but it’s actually from Junior — the one where Arnold Schwarzenegger gets preggo.

In more Poltergeist-related material, however, there’s a remake in the works, although no cast has been announced. Which is nice since now I’ll have plenty of time to brace myself for the announcement that Carol Anne will be played by Justin Bieber. Personally, I don’t see how a remake could possibly improve on the source material in anything except the effects department (and likely at the detriment of the plot/acting/everything else department). Still, it might be interesting, in the “let’s get screwy and watch this on a lazy Saturday night” kind of way, at the very least. Maybe this time they’ll just tell Carol Anne to stop acting like a crazy person, talking to TVs and shit, and everybody can get on with their lives.
