Movie information in first post provided by The Movie Database
What can I say about the movie Poltergeist except that it was great? By far one of the scariest scenes in a Hollywood movie was when the toy clown started choking the boy. One minute It’s sitting on the chair and the next minute it’s trying to kill you.
