That Time There Was a Poltergeist on The Waltons
from Pop Culture Preservation Society · host Pop Culture Preservation Society
In today's episode we'll be saving an obscure episode of The Waltons called the Changeling in which the littlest sister, Elizabeth, is haunted by a Poltergeist --YEARS before the movie Poltergeist hit theaters. No one in the entire world seems to remember this oh-so-70s episode except Kristin who hasn't stopped thinking about it since 1978 -- and that includes not just Carolyn and Michelle but also Kami Cotler, the actress who played Elizabeth Walton in the episode! So we made Kami rewatch the episode and join us on the podcast for a conversation about this very un-Waltons-style episode of the Waltons that forever linked puberty and poltergeists in Kristin's pre-pubescent mind. Kami spills the tea on all the ghosty shenanigans (hint: watch Bewitched for tips) and how it felt to go through puberty on Waltons Mountain with millions of viewers tuning in each week. We think you'll love Kami as much as you loved Elizabeth -- and The Waltons might be your newest Halloween ritual!
