I gotta say, I love how Tobe Hooper had so much creative freedom on Poltergeist 
. It's crazy that Spielberg was involved in writing and producing it, which definitely influenced the final product. The use of special effects and rotoscoping is still mind-blowing to this day 
. I do wonder though if some scenes were toned down because of the era we're living in now 
. The idea of using real skeletons on set seems kinda intense, but I guess it added to the realism?

️ I think what makes Poltergeist so iconic is the way it blended scares with heart - you've got these relatable characters who are just trying to survive this supernatural nightmare, but also some genuinely terrifying moments that'll still give me chills today 
. And I love how Spielberg was open to experimenting and taking risks on set - like, who else would dare to use real skeletons in a movie?! 
It's no wonder it has such a lasting impact... the film's just really well-crafted all around 
... were they really just props or something more sinister? I'm not saying Spielberg is a mastermind behind it all, but there's definitely some weirdness going on behind the scenes that hasn't been revealed to us poor saps
