Poltergeist

One of the great special effects extravaganzas of the early 80′s, it stills holds up incredibly well thirty years later. As much as I love the set pieces (the pool of skeletons, Jobeth William‘s ceiling tumble, the … clown attack (shudder)), It’s the little moments I remember the best. The maggots on the chicken leg, the crawling steak, the thunderstorm countdown (for years, I tried using that little trick when lightning flashed). A true classic. TOMORROW’S CLUE – Without a doubt, the ballsiest ending in teen slasher movie history.
