@jmd2789 Following Hooper's passing on August 27, 2017, director Mick Garris, who was a publicist on the film and visited the set on several occasions, came to Hooper's defense on the Post Mortem podcast: "Tobe was always calling action and cut. Tobe had been deeply involved in all of the pre-production and everything. But Steven is a guy who will come in and call the shots. And so, you're on your first studio film, hired by Steven Spielberg, who is enthusiastically involved in this movie. Are you gonna say, 'Stop that... let me do this'? Which [Tobe] did. [...] Tobe was a terrific filmmaker. I don't think it's that Steven was controlling. I think it was Steven was enthusiastic. And nobody was there to protect Tobe. But all of the pre-production was done by Tobe. Tobe was there throughout. Tobe's vision is very much realized there. And Tobe got credit because he deserved credit. Including... Steven Spielberg said that. [...] Yes, Steven Spielberg was very much involved. It's a Tobe Hooper film." Also Tobe was the one who wanted it to be a ghost movie, and helped Spielberg with the treatment. So Spielberg wasn't even full writer or creator of this universe.

Listen up everyone just don't tell those who like to go to the off sales to get in there spirits that spirits aren't real. Without those spirits it's no fun. I mean come on you don't believe in vodka or whisky, and all the other spirits behind the bar waiting to entertain your thirst. I mean many very well know actors did believe in there spirits. So many and only two I put in are Dean Martin and Oliver Reid. Little old wine drinking me. What no spirits come on. Not even a laugh. In the bar and off sales spirits are very much real. Even I do have a good sense of humour. In real life I've never ever experienced anything of a supernatural incedent. Just the same as many others who also haven't. But there's others who have experienced what none of us ever want to. Who are we to say that they didn't go through such. Was we there with them when it all did go on. No we wasn't. Many true mediums and spirit ghost hunters will state it very clearly to believe in what they went through you have to be there where its happining. And they are registered professionals for going into old buildings. Taken other experienced professionals also registered with them. The film The Exorcist was based on real true life events. And in real life it was a young boy who was possessed not a girl. Many real life cases of possession was kept very well hidden and forgotten. When people play around with wedgie boards they are opening doors to whp knows where and who knows what. Putting out a welcome doormat. People messing around with what never should not be disturbt. Just because we never experienced it. That doesn't mean it's not real. And when I said the last house I went to all the ghosts ran away and this house is clean I was being funny.

The Average SPIELBERG BULLSHIT. - I would prefer that Carol Ann meet PINHEAD from HELLRAISER behind the screen and gets slaughtered and her Mom get back only the bloody guts from the TV. - Same FUCK with E.T. ! Aliens come as friendly dwarfs hugging little girls. I PREFER ALIENS that Slaughter kids like in WAR OF THE WORLDS or in CLOVERFIELD or in A QUIT PLACE. Or The Best Little Girl ( Newt ) HUNTING ever - in ALIEN II. . Cause THAT'S - MORE REALISTIC ! * DIE , Carol Ann, DIE ! *******************

I was born in...1973. When I first seen this movie. It "scared the S#3%" out of me. Couldn't sleep without looking under my bed for "weeks". Thanks, Speilberg.

[@daffyduck9323]

Really wish he was director

[@Beautyseekerful1]

Great Steven Spielberg film, such a sweet melody theme!! r.i.p. Heather O'Roarke 🙁💙 !

[@daffyduck9323]

I really wish he was the director

[@deccadente]

Tobe Hopper is the director of the movie. Spielberg is the producer

It's kind of weird cuz I've never seen the movie, but when I was in high school marching band, we played this. I went through a lot of emotional hardship and band was one of the few things I felt I could really devote myself to, and so a lot of my happier moments are from that. That was 7 years ago now, but this song still brings me to tears.

[@angelothehorrorfan5013]

That's so cool this song was a choice for it. I honestly wish this and other movie tracks were used for marching bands or school events

[@theo_brg]

RIP Heather, we miss you .

[@zingleyeast3605]

This is sooo calming and creepy:) how I like it.

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

This has such a "calm before the storm" feel to it, especially the instrumental interlude in the middle which sounds to me like a bright sunny day in an idyllic, peaceful neighborhood with kids riding bikes, friendly neighbors, and lush green grass.

[@michellecooper4489]

This tune is so so sad I beleive its little angels laughing at the end reminds me back in my childhood days..rip..heather you cant ever been forgotton x

[@BMW9661]

Maybe they are little angelic children but the laughter was still creepy

[@rontaylor8197]

Full body goosebumps. This is a sweet piece from a special era in film-making (my childhood.)

[@jonathanbennaman6753]

I can't stop thinking about how sad it was when we lost Heather at such a young age 😟, every time I hear this theme song, it makes me cry for her 😣. One of the best horror movies of the 80s.

[@deathbyaraven]

My bff loved this when he was dying I played this on his baby grand piano in the living room for him it's somehow made him relax it has that kind of heartbreak to it and I remember playing it for him I open the windows and the doors to Let the Rain Sound come in and I played a 25-minute version of it my mother taught me classic piano and I learn to play the keyboards quite easy so it was really nice I started to play it on a harp ones but I didn't have as much practice as I did on the piano so it's always been our favorite song him and I His Name Is Irv Saul Wagman and I miss him everyday of my life

Cuando el mundo de la música era inocente. Preciosa banda sonora.

[@WuTangBoomerang]

Goldsmith could capture big and small, with both a huge orchestra and a childlike feeling to go along with it. He was one of a kind. He was the music behind many of the movies I watched as a kid and I'll miss what he gave.

[@danielscottburke]

Always Have Loved it ❤️

[@glaceyblanchard2566]

Each time I come back after years to hear this song that sounds like if it was performed by the angels, I can only remember Heather and her heartedly Big Sister. When I was a child, I enjoyed this movie so very much, being only scared at the clown scene, and ejoying the very rest of the movie with the little girl's innocent reactions to the poltergeists and how brave Domi was. After years of becoming adult I took my little sister to watch this movie, and the same story repeated with her. We both, as kids, loved Heather and laughed with her acting during the 3 movies she participated in before passing away. Today I came back here after 8 years and me with my sister can only tell to Heather and Domi: "You will never be forgotten. Wherever you girls are, we let you know that each time this melody is heard, you sing again and are more live than ever, specially in all our hearts".

[@iceempress1502]

I can't stop crying, and watching this. 😞

[@devinionmusic6049]

Awesome.... Absolutely Love This Track...

[@meghansmith7884]

Please come away from the light Carol Ann. Beautiful song sniff sniff...Meow

[@keithandrewbounds967]

Rest in Heavenly Peace Mom - I MISS YOU SO MUCH MORE THAN WORDS COULD EVER SAY. I’M SO TRULY TRULY SORRY FOR ALL THE WAYS THAT I MISTREATED YOU AND I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU AND GOD WILL TRULY FORGIVE ME. 😢😢😢

3:11-3:38 creeps the living shit out of me every time

[@jeanines_channel3246]

charlottesasaki the laughs get more bizarre. It almost sounds like demons.

[@DavidLopez-yt2yp]

It's most likely the dead children that were buried underneath the house

[@dannyboyesparza7937]

Rest in peace heather you would have been my age right now i beautiful baby angel left us to soon may you be in gods arms 🤧😢😢😢

[@sickboy7104]

Jesus! Those last twenty seconds! That's the only part of the entire movie that still haunts me as an an adult ten years later. It suggests that the entire theme was meant as an ironically creepy off-set to the rest of the film.

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

Exactly my thoughts about this unsettling but anthologic score. People saying it's a comforting and beautiful melody. I don't find any of that! The child laughter make it a complete subversion of the song, it really does feel like a mocking of sorts to the supposed idyllic and pure atmosphere from the rest of the song.

[@Dippin_Dots]

When I was younger, I worked in a haunted house and now I'm finding some of the songs that they played throughout the building and its very nostalgia inducing
