    #1.82 The Rewind Sessions, Classic Movies (Halloween Edition): Poltergeist

    "They're heeeere!" This Halloween, The Rewind Sessions takes a terrifying trip back to 1982 to revisit one of the most iconic supernatural horror movies of all time — Poltergeist! What starts as an ordinary suburban family's American dream quickly becomes a living nightmare when strange forces invade their home, furniture begins moving on its own, and young Carol Anne Freeling mysteriously disappears into another dimension. But there's much more to Poltergeist than haunted televisions, creepy clowns, and swimming pools filled with skeletons! In this special Halloween episode, we rewind the clock to explore the fascinating history behind the film, including the long-running debate over Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper's involvement, the groundbreaking practical effects, the unforgettable cast, and the tragic real-life stories that fueled the infamous Poltergeist Curse. We'll also explore whether the movie was inspired by actual paranormal events, how it performed during Hollywood's incredible summer of 1982, and why it remains one of the most beloved and frightening horror classics more than four decades later. Along the way, we'll share plenty of nostalgia, behind-the-scenes trivia, laughs, and personal memories — from the terrifying bathroom mirror scene to the question we've all asked: Why on earth would anyone stay in that house?! So turn down the lights, grab your Halloween candy, and whatever you do... stay away from the television! Welcome to The Rewind Sessions. This Halloween... they're here! 🎬 Film: Poltergeist (1982) 🎙️ Podcast: The Rewind Sessions: Classic Films 👻 Genre: Horror / Supernatural / Thriller Warning: This episode contains major movie spoilers! #Poltergeist #TheRewindSessions #HalloweenSpecial #ClassicMovies #HorrorMovies #StevenSpielberg #TobeHooper #80sMovies #MoviePodcast #MovieTrivia 00:08 INTRO02:37 OPENING — WHEN THE TELEVISION WENT DARK04:24 ACT ONE — TWO VERY DIFFERENT MOVIES FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG’S SUMMER07:54 ACT TWO — MEET THE FREELINGS, AND THEIR VERY 1982 HOUSE12:51 ACT THREE — THE TREE, THE CLOSET, AND THE VOICE IN THE STATIC18:05 ACT FOUR — TANGINA, THE LIGHT, AND THE FAMILY AT THE CENTER21:25 ACT FIVE — THE HOUSE IS NOT CLEAN26:35 ACT SIX — WAS ANY OF THIS REAL?28:53 ACT SEVEN — THE PEOPLE, THE LOSSES, AND THE “CURSE”33:22 ACT EIGHT — A HIT IN ONE OF THE GREAT MOVIE SUMMERS36:51 CLOSING — LEAVE THE TELEVISION OUTSIDE38:49 WRAPHost: Jamie Ellis Producer: Jamie Ellis Want to be part of the show?
