The Poltergeist Curse
from Everything Scary · host Lynn & Matt
Send us Fan MailEARLY PATREON RELEASE- In 1982 the first of the Poltergeist trilogy movies was released. In a scene nearing the end of the movie, the mother of the Freeling family, Diane, is dragged into the in ground pool, where she is surrounded by skeletons floating to the surface. At this time, in Hollywood, it was said to have been cheaper to fly in ACTUAL human skeletons, instead of buying synthetic. And, that scene would be believed to be the catalyst to what some would deem The Poltergeist Curse, because what would follow would be a series of untimely, horrific and downright strange deaths of actors who were involved in one or all of the Poltergeist films. This case does involve severe domestic assault and the death of a child, so please listen with care.Support the showIf you’re interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you’ as well as a shout out on our regular feed!
