The first time I watched Poltergeist was one hot, humid summer night around '84 or '85. My older sister and I were sitting on my parent's bed with our eyes glued to the tv. The volume was up pretty high to compensate for the noise coming from the air conditioning unit in the window. To this day that music used throughout with the "la la la......lala lala" still takes me back to that night.
Don't be fooled, this is a Steven Spielberg movie through and through. The production, acting, and special effects are all top notch. Despite traumatizing me as a kid, it still ranks amongst my favorite horror movies of all time.
