Episode description

For our first installment, we're looking at a movie that I'm sure left a huge mark on all of us as kids, POLTERGEIST.  Hollywood has had its share of "cursed" productions, meaning things behind the scenes went badly, but how about those that really were...ya know...cursed, like in a literal way? POLTERGEIST is definitely one of the titles people keep circling back to, with many citing the tragic fates of several folks involved and some spooky goings on behind the scenes as evidence of its cursed status.
 
In this installment, you'll learn it's not so much what happened during the making of POLTERGEIST that led to its cursed status, but more what happened long after the film came out. Additionally, we've got the scoop on those pesky rumors that Steven Spielberg ghost directed (pun intended) the film for Tobe Hooper, killer clowns, real skeletons in the swimming pool and more. Check it out!
