It's Halloween, and Steve was willing to watch Poltergeist! The highest grossing horror film of 1982, Poltergeist was written and produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper. It starred Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O'Rourke, Dominique Dunn, and Oliver Robins as an all-American family plagued by spirits who steal away their youngest daughter. 

We talk about the bizarre history of the film, including the infamous "Poltergeist Curse" and the debate over the true vision and director of the movie. And before we get into the recap, we enjoy a few bowls of Boo-Berry Cereal.

Did the monstrous cereal live up to the hype? Was the movie as good as we remembered? Will Megan have nightmares for a month? Listen to find out!
