Fun fact, all those skeletons in the final scene were real human skeletons of people who donated their bodies to science. At the time it was cheaper to use real skeletons that rubber/plastic ones. The actors were not told till after filming. You can google it, dead serious. Some think that's why so many bad things happened to people on the set, they call it the "Poltergeist Curse". Thanks for the wonderful reaction!

@arlenel.p.2785 the older sister was brutally murdered. Spielberg is gross that he allowed his actress to be in the water w/ skeletons. Where did Spielberg get that many real skeletons! Did he dig up Graves. Donated to science ? That takes a long long time to decompose to bones! The med schools usually preserve dead bodies so the students can operate on them. What can u do w/ skeltons?? Look at their bones. I'm not questioning u I heard it too that Spielberg didn't tell Mary Williams their were dead bodies in the pool. I heard he also went in the pool w/ her to reassure her b/c she was plain creeped out by the scene in general. Spielberg also directed that film. He had to be quiet b/c the dga had their dumb rules like he couldn't direct two films at the same time ( um why not ?) Plus that goes on anyway. He was also to direct return of the jedi wasn't allowed b/c lucas was kicked out of the dga for having the opening crawl & the actors credits only at the end. Their rules were actors credits have to be shown over the beginning. That's one of the reasons lucas left the dga. They fined him for the first star wars. Anyway its obvious Tobe hooper listed director was only a front b/c Spielberg did everything w/ this film. He did e.t. at the same time thus the exact same visual neighbors. Obviously the interiors were sets. Original jedi was great but imagine Spielberg directed it ? Spielberg 's 80s serious films sadly were ignored. Like empire of the sun or color purple which a cult picked it up. He kept doing the blockbusters to jurassic park until Schindler s list.

Back in the ‘70’s when the broadcast TV stations were ready to sign off for the night, they would always play the National Anthem and then go to static. That was before cable TV became a thing. The three channels: ABC, CBS, and NBC all followed that basic pattern. Cable didn’t become a common thing until the early 80’s. But that was normal. I guess night shift workers were screwed and just never had any TV to watch. I was born in the 60’s so I saw that a lot. But now it’s a thing of the past. But that’s just how it was back then.

"They're here." Fun Fact: Heather O'Rourke kept the pet goldfish Carol Anne has in the film. Cameo Hands Fact: The hands which pull the flesh off the investigator's face in the bathroom mirror were the film's producer, Steven Spielberg. Quick Change Fact: The shot of the chairs that position themselves in the amazing balancing act on the table was all done in one take. As the camera panned along with JoBeth Williams, who was getting some cleaning materials, several crew members quickly set an already organized pyramid of chairs on the table, then took the single chairs away before the camera scrolled back. The table is off-screen only seven seconds. The chrome toaster on the kitchen counter reflects the crew switching the chair arrangement. Moreover, the leaves of the plant in the corner get disturbed

If I remember correctly, the vhf channels would usually end programing around 1 or 2 at night, and would always end the day's programing by playing the National Anthem before going to static until the next morning's news shows would begin.

During his lengthy illness, his weight fell from 260 lb (120 kg) to 140 lb (64 kg), causing complications related to malnutrition. After undergoing a heart and lung transplant at Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, he died on June 3, 1987, of post-operative kidney failure.

The National Anthem was playing because there was a time when TV station shut down for the night. They'd play the anthm and sign off til morning. I saw this a couple year or two after it came out, I think it was on VHS. It was at a friend's house when I was there for a sleepover, and we were maybe 11 or 12. It creeped up out pretty good, though my friend was acting like it didn't bother him. In his room the beds were along two walls with a good bit of space between them. My bed, the guest bed, had some stuffed animals on it, including a Curious George. I was awakened from a sound sleep by my friend screaming his head off. He's sitting up in his bed shrieking like a banshee. His folks and older brother ran in and he settled down a little. When I had put Curious George off the bed, it had landed in such a way that it looked like it was standing up facing his bed. He saw that in the dim light and called me. Being sound asleep I didn't hear him. Since I didn't answer, he thought George was possessed and had killed me and was coming for him. I seem to recall going right back to sleep, though he did not sleep well.

I saw this opening night, Friday, June 4, 1982, first evening showing, and I sat closer to the screen than anyone else in the theater. I was riveted, and the clown doll scene was one of the rare times I have actually let out a scream! I’ve been a fan since then. Saw it 7 times in the theater. In 2002, I visited the real neighborhood in Simi Valley, California, where this was filmed, and I have a photo of myself standing in front of the actual house (I didn’t disturb the residents, of course; they get lots of tourists looky-looing). The interiors, of course, were filmed on a studio soundstage, not inside the real house. Same with the backyard. But it’s a lot smaller than it looks in the film. I’ve also become Facebook friends with Martin Casella (Marty) and Oliver Robins (Robby), and they’re great guys. Also, about the National Anthem playing on TV and nothing but static: that was very common on a lot of TV channels back in the 70s and 80s, when we had just a handful of stations and cable TV and home video were just starting. TV stations would end their broadcasting day around midnight or 1 am, maybe 2 am, and the signoff was the National Anthem, followed by what was called “dead air” (a TV signal that was not receiving a broadcast). This would last for a few to several hours overnight, depending on the station, and then around maybe 5 or 6 am or so the station would begin its broadcasting day again. This was just beginning to change around the time this movie came out, though, especially since cable TV was now a big competitor to broadcast TV, and within a few years most broadcast TV channels operated on a 24 hour basis, often filling in the overnight hours with infomercials (which became commonplace in the 80s and 90s). Some stations, of course, especially popular local stations in large markets like Los Angeles or New York, had run on a 22 to 24 hour basis for years, though, often running old movies overnight. But the smaller stations, and most stations in smaller markets, would cease broadcasting for a number of hours overnight. And the National Anthem was ALWAYS used as a way to say good night. It was a cultural norm nationwide. And that was a red children’s record playing in midair, not a CD. The first CDs didn’t come out until the following year, 1983, and didn’t become ubiquitous until the late 80s.

The national anthem plays every night as the last thing to air before a TV station signs off for the night, which is followed once off the air by static "snow." Where I live, they play the national anthems of both Canada and the U.S. Where you live, apparently, either you've never stayed up late enough to watch a station sign off the air, or, more likely, all your stations stay on the air 24/7, probably airing infomercials all night instead of taking a break. CDs hadn't hit the market yet in 1982. People were using phonograph records, audiocassettes, and 8-track tape cartridges. This film was directed by Tobe Hooper, who also directed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Do you know how hard it would be to tell your therapist?" Haha! "He's gonna grow up to be a lumberjack!" Hahaha! I was 11 years old when I saw this movie one afternoon in the cinema. They had the sound cranked up so loud that I had to plug my ears 'coz the spooky music was absolutley petrifying! Super scary when you turn up the sound full. Heehee! One of my favourite fun haunted house movies (the other is The Haunting, 1963 version). It's been a while since I laughed so hard. Whew! So therapeutic JL is! :)

Seriously, this movie traumatized me as a kid in the 80s. We recorded it on VHS after it came out on TV. I would get up in the night to go to the bathroom, and I had to pass the TV, and I kept waiting to see it glow and things to come out of it! The other scene that scared me was the apparition coming down the stairs because we had stairs in our house, too LOL. Ironically I watched it over and over anyway! 😁

Television back in the 80's did not run 24/7, once the last program of the evening played, it would play the star spangled banner, then go to snow. Most who saw this movie when it came out, like me, was totally familiar with this and it was totally normal. This movie holds a special place in my heart because Heather O'Rourke was from San Diego and that's where I grew up. When she died at 12, it was covered on the local news a lot. It was super sad.

You asked why the National Anthem was playing. Decades ago TV stations didn't broadcast 24/7 like they do today. Back then most stations/channels would end their broadcast day between 1-2am and just before the station went off the air they would always display an American flag and play the American National Anthem, after which the station would cease transmitting their signal and all you'd see on the screen was snow until around 6-7am when the channel would resume broadcasting again. That's how most TV channels operated back in the day.

Chester wouldn't appear for a few more years, and in the 70's we had this weird ass Chee-tos Mouse that was designed by a guy who did cartoons for Playboy, Mad Magazine, and Rankin/Bass. 25:37 James Karen (the guy who played Stephen's boss) was on _Coach_ a couple times, and he played bit characters on lots of other TV shows around that time so maybe he just has a face we've seen several times without being able to place it specifically.
