This is something you would not know about but… BEFORE cable T.V. ( Y I K E S !) when the broadcast stations went off-the-air for the night at around 12 Midnight / 2 O’Clock AM they played the Star Spangled Banner to a montage of images and the screen was static or blank (depending on the model) until the broadcast day started at 5:45 AM to 6:00 AM the next day.

[@manuelper]

Even after cable tv started, at least until the mid-80s, broadcast TV did the sign off with the anthem.

[@jancw]

Back in the day, even the TV said "THAT'S ENOUGH. GO TO BED"

[@jimbearone]

@@manuelper Yes, I know. What I meant was that Cable T.V.was the start of 24Hr. A Day broadcasting. Even the U.H.F. stations that ran 24 Hrs. had a short “Sign-Off” at 5:00 or 6:00 AM Before resuming with a new broadcast day.

I always felt like Robbie (the boy) just kept getting his ass kicked and everyone was focused on Carol Ann, thus perfecting the ULTIMATE middle child stereotype. He got eaten by a tree, ignored by his parents and attacked by a toy clown, yet everyone was concerned about his little sister. My dad took me to see this in the theater. I was 4. Nightmares for months! I loved it!

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

Yet in real life, He was the only child who cheated death. 'Carol-Anne' died of congenital stenosis, and 'Dana' was murdered by her estranged boyfriend. *edit-- (forgotten, added bonus) the character 'Pugsley' (construction worker) was murdered with an axe to the head by an ex-con who wanted steal his car. These coupled with the production using real skeletons as a cheaper alternative marred this production as "cursed".

[@nightmaster5593]

hahaha! great point

[@samanthanickson6478]

robbie’s traumatic events were all diversionary tactics orchestrated by the spirits, so they could get carol anne (she was their bridge to the living world). he would get attacked just a little bit before the spirits would snatch up the girl. it was all applied spectral okedokes. but they didn’t count on the family being so tough and a mother’s love for her daughter being greater than any fear she may have had for them. if she didn’t fight them for her kids, they would’ve been lost forever bf the house imploded.

The guy with the mustache on the TV was Gene Shalit. He did movie and other reviews for years. Now for a story... I saw this movie as a kid, shortly after it came out on vhs. It was during a sleepover at a friend's house and they had rented it. Well, it shook us kids up pretty well. Then we went to bed shortly after the movie was over. My friend had two beds against opposite walls of the room. The guest bed was the one under the window. He also had stuffed animals on it. As luck would have it, one was a clown, though neither as large nor as frightening as the one in the movie. Naturally I dropped it off the bed rather than have it up there looking at me all night. Screams woke me up out of a dead sleep. My friend was sitting up screaming his head off. His parents and older brother burst in to find out what was going on. Turned out the clown had landed on the floor and against the bed practically standing up. My friend had woken up and saw the clown standing there looking at him. He called me a couple of times and when I didn't respond, he thought the clown had killed me and was coming for him next.

[@peterkoester7358]

Having served in the US Military and being present several times where foreign forces were present at my base, or while I was visiting foreign military bases, it is respectful to at least remove your hat and stand respectfully when a foreign national anthem is played. Visiting military members will do the same when the US National Anthem is played at morning colors. Not much different than the fans being respectful for both the US and Canadian anthems being played at hockey games when teams from each country face off. (I have noticed the fans in the stands actually tend to be more respectful of both anthems than the players on the rink are.)

[@madeincda]

@@peterkoester7358 I agree, if you're military especially. As a sports fan it's traditional, but as an everyday civilian walking around or on KZbin videos I wouldn't expect it, or hold anything against one who hasn't had it drilled into them. I believe most people feel the same way. You do you.

Lol. In the olden days when we didn't have 24/7 streaming content or cable, TV stations would actually finish airing late at night. There would be some short tv station closing like the American anthem you see here in the movie, then you'd get something like the colourful classic retro "test screen" or in this case noise until the station starts program again early in the morning.

During the time this movie came out, we did not have 24 hour television. At the end of the day, the stations would play loud music and then go to 'snow' for no signal. I think the loud music was to wake you up to turn off the TV, if you had fallen asleep with the TV on.

[@MarshaLove0723]

Oh! I forgot to add this to my earlier comment... After the Poltergeist movie, I did NOT want to see that 'no-signal snow' pop up on the television anymore. 😱 Nope nope nope.

I think the clever line by the little lady medium (also is the tagline for the movie trailer and poster), said it all..."it knows what scares you". The boy's fear of the tree, the mom's fear of the kids drowning in the swimming pool, the dad's fear of loss of control in his family. The poltergeists' mission was to devide the family away from the child to be able to snatch her, which is every parent's nightmare, loosing their children.

This is a movie said to be cursed. The actress who played the older sister was murdered the same year this movie was released. And the actress who played Carol Anne went on to make two more movies in this franchise, and died the year the third movie was released (6 years after the first movie). And there are some other things that happened associated with these films that lend to a supposed curse

This is still my favorite horror film by far. The Exorcist is something to experience and along the lines of respect as The Godfather and 2001: A Space Odyssey. But Poltergeist, mostly because of the cast, was like watching your own family or someone else's and feeling protective.

[@eugenegrewing2587]

There’s a reason the corpses looked so realistic, they were REAL human skeletons. The props department would have spent a fortune making realistic enough prop corpses so it was the 80’s… JoBeth and the crew had no idea they were real human skeletons until after shooting which freaked them out. The same thing was done for Poltergeist II The Other Side, and Will Sampson (Taylor), a real Native American medicine man, did a Native American exorcism on the set, just in case. Lots of people believe there was a curse because Heather O’Rourke died of an illness before filming Poltergeist III finished, and Dominique Dunn (Dana) from the first film, was murdered. Or, just coincidence and active imaginations?

It started to rain- and suddenly, they began to notice there was something in the excavation hole… It was more coffins. No markings to who they are😢. The one side of the mini-mall still is only a steep hill… and yes, more coffins have been discovered there too.

Poltergeist and close encounters were some of the scariest . So fun watching u guys watch . All we had was the theater . A world where we could watch Star Wars at our own convenience never existed . Made it even more special I feel . We had to go back again and again to theatre to rewatch a movie. .no vhs no computers . U guys are so lucky to see a whole catalogues of hits for the first time spanning literally decades . Ive seen them alll . Now multiple multiple times . Just so u k ow they need er get tiring . U can rewatch this stuff over and over for the rest of ur lives now . Imaging when ur fifty how many times u will see ur favorites from youth . These are all mine . It’s surreal watching people watch . I love it 🥰 Thanks . U and ur brother are silly and off the cuff don’t take your selves too seriously and have fun while letting us tag along for the ride .

Dude I love this movie but when I watched it as an adult it was after I had a niece for 6 years and the thought of her getting trapped someplace where we can't get her... had a good cry over that one 😂

I'm glad you guys finally got to see this film and your reactions are priceless. There have been all kinds of claims about whether Spielberg driectied or Tobe Hooper directed this film. We have to keep in mind that Spielberg was doing "E.T." just about the same time as this film was finishing up. Despite the rumblings going on that Spielberg actually directed the film and Hooper didn't, I heard that Hooper wanted to improve his directing chops after having been replaced as a director on 2 films prior to Poltergeist. Hooper and Spielberg admired each others works on each others TV Movies (Hooper directed the 2 part version of Stephen King's "Salems Lot" and Spielberg directed a short film in the TV series "Night Gallery" having the chance to direct the legendary Joan Crawford). So Spielberg lend a helping hand whenever Hooper felt he needed it which was often. After Poltergeist you can see in the remaining films that Hooper did how much improved his movies looked the way the actors acted and how he directed the movements of the camera. Compare "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" made in 1974 to the sequel made in 1986. There's quite a difference.

my babysitter showed me this (and Nightmare on Elm Street) when I was five.... man! she was so awesome!

This was one of my favourite movies as a kid ,I remember my big sister trying to spook me by whispering " Carol Ann " at night in our room ,but it would just make me giggle ,because she couldn't do a southern accent very well(we are from the UK) .

Speaking of slither....that's a movie you should check out. Slither is an early James Gunn flick. Picked up a Fangoria "Chainsaw Award" for highest body count in 2006.

I'm glad you guys finished out October on my favorite horror movie of all time. Not only is it a really good scary movie, but what makes it extra scary is that there is a curse behind the movie. Look into it. You seem like a really cool guys. Always enjoy watching y'alls reactions. 😎💓🤘🏻

My sister , who was around 17, had/made me watch this when I was about the age of the son back in the mid 80s and it scarred me, and it became my favorite scary movie.

In Part II (not a great movie - but it has its moments) ... you find out more about who "The Beast" is ... and why so many souls were attached to him.

Some interesting facts: The girl who played Dana, the elder sister, was murdered shortly after the movie's release. Carol-Anne sadly died of a heart attack, aged 14 during filming of the third installment. The skeletons used were apparently real deceased people.

She was 12 and she died from congenital stenosis

@@JemJam2976 Close enough.

[@tracyleborgne6453]

I was seven years old when this movie came out in 1982 … seen it as soon as it was released… love horror movies

[@RayLukard78]

The TV was a receiver. The ghost s were using it like a two way radio.

[@Cre80s]

I laughed so freakin’ hard at this one! 🤣🤣🤣

[@DarthJedi7783]

My lords, thank you! Great reaction! Another one of my favorites!
