Poltergeist (1982)[edit]
Poltergeist is the original film in the trilogy, directed by Tobe Hooper, co-written by Steven Spielberg and released on June 4, 1982. The story focuses on the Freeling family, which consists of Steve (Craig T. Nelson); Diane (JoBeth Williams); Dana (Dominique Dunne); Robbie (Oliver Robins); and Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke), who live in a California housing development called Cuesta Verde, which comes to be haunted by ghosts. The ghosts communicate only with Carol Anne through the family's television set, and are under the control of a demon known as the 'Beast.' The ghosts, attracted to Carol Anne's life force and believing she will help lead them into the 'Light', abduct her through her bedroom closet, which acts as a portal to their dimension. Most of the film involves the efforts to rescue her on the part of her family, a group of parapsychologists and a spiritual medium named Tangina Barrons (Zelda Rubinstein). Carol Anne is eventually retrieved from the other side and, following a second attack by the Beast that reveals the ghosts had originated from an improperly relocated cemetery underneath the neighborhood, the family flees Cuesta Verde, while the house caves in on itself and is sucked into another dimension.[3]

Kane was the leader of a utopiancult, who in anticipation of the end of the world, had sealed themselves in a cavern located directly below what later became the Freelings' property. Kane is anxious to possess Carol Anne in order to continue manipulating his followers after death. The ghosts follow and attack the Freelings at their current household. Aided by an American Indianshaman named Taylor (Will Sampson), the Freelings manage to escape from Kane and his followers a second time.[3][4]

The final film in the original trilogy, Poltergeist III, was directed and co-written by Gary Sherman and released on June 10, 1988. In order to protect Carol Anne, the Freelings have sent her to temporarily live with her skeptic relatives, Pat and Bruce Gardner (Nancy Allen and Tom Skerritt) and their daughter Donna (Lara Flynn Boyle), who reside in a Chicagoskyscraper. However, Carol Anne's recollection of her experiences during her psychiatric sessions enable Kane and his followers to locate her and make contact through the building's ubiquitous mirrors.[3][5] After the ghosts abduct Carol Anne, then Donna, her boyfriend Scott (Kipley Wentz), Pat, and Bruce enlist the help of Tangina to retrieve them, who eventually sacrifices herself to save the family by escorting Kane into the Light.

Poltergeist curse[edit]
The 'Poltergeist curse' is a rumored curse attached to the Poltergeist trilogy and its crew, derived from the deaths of two young cast members in the six years between the releases of the first and third films.[3][17] The rumor and the surrounding deaths were explored in a 2002 episode of E! True Hollywood Story titled 'Curse of Poltergeist'.[18]
- Dominique Dunne, who played the eldest daughter Dana in the first film, died on November 4, 1982, at age 22 after being strangled by her ex-boyfriend John Thomas Sweeney.[19] He was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to six years in prison, but was paroled after serving three and a half years.[17] This was her only motion picture appearance before her death.
- Heather O'Rourke, who played Carol Anne in all three Poltergeist films, died on February 1, 1988 at the age of 12 due to complications from an acute bowel obstruction.[20][21][22]
Documentary[edit]
The Curse of Poltergeist, a documentary film based on the mystery of the franchise, was set to begin shooting in November 2015. The upcoming film will be directed by Adam Ripp and will be financed and produced by his company Vega Baby, alongside Indonesia-based MD Pictures. The documentary will focus on the life and experiences of actor Oliver Robins, who played Robbie Freeling in the first and second installments of the franchise, as a way to explore the tragedies that have befallen those involved with the films.[23]

Peru. This episode begins about twenty-seven +/- years in the past when Derek is fifteen. His father, Winston Rayne, has taken him to Peru on a quest for an ancient 'box' called a sepulcher. This is not young Derek's idea of a father-son vacation. At night, in the pouring rain, they arrive at the entrance of what looks like an old mine. Derek was told to stay in the truck whilst his father is led in by a guide to the place inside where the 'box' was discovered and partially unearthed. Outside in the truck, Derek, a psychic, Sees his father being mauled by a demon after opening the box.he rushes inside, but it's too late, even as he turns the key to close the box to contain the evil spirit. His father's dying words to his son were 'the burden is yours now' as he took the Legacy ring off his finger and gave it to Derek. A hefty burden for a fifteen-year-old!
Angel Island, San Francisco. Twenty-seven years later, at a Luna Foundation party. (During the course of this we see a plaque with the words, 'Faith has need of the whole truth' that Derek is fond of quoting.) Derek unvails and donates a Madonna & Child sculpture to the Luna Foundation in his father's name. As he looks at the sculpture, Derek 'sees' a little girl in a red coat screaming. Late at night, after the party - Derek 'sees' his father's death again and the little girl with another sepulcher. This warns Derek that something is up and he rises the Legacy members to help him with his work. In a hidden vault, Derek shows Nick and Julia four sepulchers, one which his father died trying to get. He explains that they contain four of the five fallen angels/evil spirits that the Druids confined into five separate sepulchers and now he has 'seen' the fifth one and they must go get it.
Connemara, Ireland. Rachel Corrigan and her young daughter, Kat, are visiting the gravesites of Rachel's husband son, Patrick & Conner. It's the one-year-anniversary of their death. Hp deskjet 970cse driver for mac. As Rachel talks to the groundskeeper, Kat 'hears' what she thinks is her brother calling for her to come to her. She runs off and winds up in an antique shop sitting next to an old box - the fifth sepulcher. Rudaali movie mp3 songs download.
San Francisco, California. In a Catholic church, Derek meets with young Father Phillip Callaghan, who just came in from playing soccer. Derek wants Philip to come back to the Legacy. He explains about the fifth sepulcher being found in Ireland. Philip is surprised the Druids hid it in 'their own backyard.' Apparently Philip is the only Legacy member who has previous knowledge of the sepulchers Derek has been searching out for twenty-three years.
Back at the Legacy house - Derek, Julia and Nick prepare to leave for Ireland. Derek insists that Alex stay there to do research on the four sepulchers they do have. He gives three of the keys to each of them for safe-keeping and keeps one for himself.
Connemara, Ireland. Back at the antique shop, its owner, Shamus Bloom, is looking for the key to the 'box' because Rachel wants to buy it for Kat who says 'it reminds her of Conner.' He find the key later and shows up at Rachel's room at the inn to give it to Kat, but the lock is frozen. He takes the key and box back to his shop to fix it.
Derek, Julia and Nick arrive in Connemara and split up to search for the sepulcher and/or the little girl in a red coat.
Adobe film editing software free. Shamus Bloom fixes the lock, turns the key and gets the surprise of his life as the demon enters his body and takes over.
Julia enters the shop where Shamus just got 'possessed' and she sees the fifth sepulcher. Shamus makes the move on her, she whacks him over the head with a heavy object and is out of there quickly as he is chasing her. Julia calls Alex, who is back at the Legacy house, to tell her to contact Derek quick because she's found the fifth box and she can't get her own cellphone to work.
Derek meets an anxious Nick outside a pub - no Julia - so they go looking for her. Nick gets mad at Derek because he thinks Derek shouldn't have split them up.
Rachel & Kat are getting ready for bed. Shamus shows up with the 'fixed' box and entices Rachel to turn the key to open it. In a mesmerized state caused by the demon, Rachel believes Shamus is her dead husband come back to life and he says he's going to give her son back to her. (You can guess how.) After it's too late, Rachel realizes this guy isn't her husband and screams which brings Kat to her room, who screams. Derek and Nick hear them and go running to the rescue. Nick chases after the possessed Shamus and shoots him. The spirit leaves Shamus body as a oozing rotting mass with maggots. (Yuck! I really hate maggots.) Derek and Nick then see Julia's 'crucified' dead body on a scarecrow post in field.
Back in the U.S. Father Philip performs the memorial ceremony and they throw Julia's ashes into the water.
An unconscious Rachel is brought back to the San Francisco Legacy House to recover along with Kat. Derek gives Philip the key that Julia was safeguarding and welcomes him back into the Legacy. Nick's mad at Derek for allowing Philip back in because it's against the rules but Derek says he never left in spirit. Philip goes to work decoding the inscriptions off the fifth box.
Derek gives Kat the fifth key to safeguard because she's truly an innocent soul and the demon has no power over her. Rachel wakes up in an unreasonable state and abnormally pregnant. She thinks the Legacy is going to take her 'baby' away and tries to leave but ends up going into labor. She gives birth to a demon who looks like her son Conner (so he can make his 'Mommy' do what needs to be done for him) and goes about trying to assemble all the keys and the sepulchers.
In the research lab, Alex and Philip are working on the computers when the power goes out. Philip goes to see if it's the generator and winds up in a church where he meets up with a woman appearing posthumously, 'Helen' or 'Ellen' (couldn't tell which). From what I could gather, she apparently committed suicide by drowning sometime after a sexy nighttime swim with Philip where he told her that he chose God and the priesthood over her and their love/lust. She comes onto him and he gives in (God forgive him) and surprise! It's the demon boy Conner and he's now got one of the sepulcher keys.
The demon next appears as Julia to Alex, who is feeling way guilty about staying behind whilst Julia went to Ireland where she ended up getting killed. Alex asks forgiveness and the demon gets the second key.
As Nick is stalking around looking for Kat, he sees the demon boy and shoots only to find that he must have somehow shot Kat by mistake. He asks forgiveness and the demon gets the third key. (Are you beginning to see the pattern here?)
For Derek's key, the demon poses as Derek's father, Winston Rayne, who tries to turn Derek over to the dark side (hmmm.that sounds familiar) and Derek, who knows that this is not his father, still feels guilty after plunging a sword through him and asks forgiveness and well, you know.

Four down, one key to go - Kat's! Derek finds Kat and takes her up to the roof where he finds all five sepulchers placed in formation. Rachel and 'Conner' try to get the key from Kat, Rachel says it's okay to give it to her.
