In 1982, director Tobe Hooper and producer Steven Spielberg unleashed Poltergeist, a horror classic that supposedly gave a malevolent force unchecked power. With sudden, tragic deaths and bizarre on-set accidents—including the rumored use of real human skeletons—the movie became linked to an infamous Hollywood curse. We analyze the terrifying escalation of misfortune: the moment movie magic became malice, and how this franchise became a tragic crucible exposing the dark side of working on a horror legend.
WARNING: This episode discusses the Poltergeist curse, touching on themes of real-life tragic deaths, unsettling on-set rumors, and disturbing content related to the production of the film series.
