Halloween Movies

I admit, watching Poltergeist these days makes me kind of maudlin, since both of the daughters in the film came to early ends, one at the hands of a violent boyfriend, and the other to disease at a tragically young age. I haven't bothered with either of the sequels since they came out - they were pretty forgettable, but the first movie lives quite vividly in my imagination. I think of the Freeling family as real people, like neighbors I once lived near. Hmm, sounds like its time to watch it again.
