Poltergeist (1982, with Steven Ray Morris)

After talking about Boris Karloff in 1932's The Old Dark House we're moving to the 'burbs with a discussion on 1982's Poltergeist.

See Jurassic Right podcaster Steven Ray Morris joins me to discuss this Tobe Hooper (?) collaboration with Steven Spielberg. Though, who actually directed the movie? We also talk about Gen X parenting, horror in the Reagan '80s, and the "Poltergeist curse."
