Poltergeist scared the absolute crap out me when I first saw it in a preview (with some extra footage never seen again.)
Oddly, there was a Kubrick connection. It was screening as a preview after 2001: A Space Odyssey. We got high in the bathroom and, to this day, are sure the drugs were spiked with something ... because we have never had a high like this. (and we know high)
Anyways, 2001 was awesome and Poltergeist was frightacular.
I saw it like 15 times that first summer. It's also got a whole lot of comedy gold, so it's become an enduring classic to me.
