That of a ghostly skull with 4 praying mantis like legs. She panics and rolls down the stairs while The Beast manages to electrify the railings to prevent her from ascending back up.

Her neighbors, terrified by the ghostly energy blazing from the house, refuse to help. Meanwhile In the children's room, the closet has imploded and turned into a monstrous oesophagus-like structure that threatens to suck in Carol Anne and Robbie.
Diane nonetheless manages to pull Robbie and Carol Anne out from the house, as Dana returns from a date to find coffins and dead bodies exploding from the ground throughout the neighborhood. As Steven returns home to this mayhem, he realizes that, when Teague relocated the cemetery under the subdivision, he'd done it on the cheap and only moved the headstones. Teague appears soon after, joining the Freelings' neighbors in their horror at the Freeling house's explosive possession.
An enraged Steven confronts him with the fact that by leaving the bodies in unmarked graves and building houses on top of them, Teague had desecrated their burial grounds.

Tobe would nod agreement, and that become the process of collaboration. The Directors Guild of America "opened an investigation into the question of whether or not Hooper's official credit was being denigrated by statements Spielberg has made, apparently claiming authorship.
Tobe was the director and was on the set every day. But Steven did the design for every storyboard and he was on the set every day except for three days when he was in Hawaii with Lucas. The Hollywood Reporter printed an open letter from Spielberg to Hooper in the week of the film's release. I enjoyed your openness in allowing me Through the screenplay you accepted a vision of this very intense movie from the start, and as the director, you delivered the goods.

The remastered DVD of the film was released as scheduled but both high-definition releases were eventually canceled. Warner rescheduled the high definition version of the film and eventually released it only on the Blu-ray disc format on October 14, The Blu-ray disc release still had the "25th Anniversary Edition" banner [7] even though this particular release was a full year behind the actual anniversary of the film.

The film also received recognition from the American Film Institute. The film was reissued on October 29, to take advantage of the Halloween weekend. It was shown in theaters for one night only on October 4, to promote the new restored and remastered 25th anniversary DVD, released five days later.

The original motive of the cemetery's souls disturbed by the housing development was thereby altered; the cemetery was now explained to be built above a cave where Kane and his flock met their ends.
Carol Anne is the sole original family member featured in Poltergeist III , which finds her living in an elaborate Chicago skyscraper owned and inhabited by her aunt and uncle. Kane follows her there and uses the building's ubiquitous decorative mirrors as a portal to the Earthly plane.

Dominique Dunne, who played the original older sister Dana Freeling, met an equally tragic and unforeseen fate. In , Dunne separated from her partner, John Sweeney. Sweeney was sentenced to six and a half years in prison but was released after three years and seven months.
