Poltergeist was one of my most memorable movie theater experiences. It was scary, but in such an exhilarating way that I recall my friends and I in some combo of screaming and laughing, falling on the floor even. And we weren’t the only ones! The whole audience was falling about the place! We’d never seen anything like it.
And when everything seemed ok, nowadays I’d be like, “well, of course something else bad has to happen, the movie’s still going.” But back then it was quite shocking. It was put together like a rollercoaster ride.
