When Was The Movie Poltergeist Released?

The film “Poltergeist” was released in 1982. The film centres around a young girl named Carol, who communicates with ghosts in her home via a television set. The film shows Carol's family having to deal with the ghosts, who play a variety of tricks on the family.

There are three films in the “Poltergeist” series. The second instalment, entitled “Poltergeist II: The Other Side”, was released in 1986. The film follows a similar plot to the first instalment, with a few new storylines.

The third and final instalment was released in 1988. The film became known due to the death of Heather O' Rourke, who played the character Carol. Heather O'Rourke died before the final instalment had finished filming, resulting in the last part of the film having to be changed.

In addition to the death of Heather O'Rourke, several other cast and crew members from the films also died. This led to the films being seen as cursed. At least two of the cast members were murdered and many others, including O'Rourke, died of illnesses.
