Poltergeist (1982)

In this bonus Wake Up Heavy crossover episode, we take a look at one of the most famous horror films of the '80s: Poltergeist (1982). Starring Craig T. Nelson and Jo Beth Williams, the film follows their family as pesky spirits plague it in their California tract home. The film also spawned two sequels and a remake, all of which experience diminishing returns. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris once again to talk about the film, their shared experiences with it, and the rest of the series.
