Poltergeist 3 trailer

[SPS148669]

Now that see died see can led the ghost into the light.

[vheetah]

Wow...sad that Heather passed away four months before this movie was released. MGM didn't want to market the film with images of her face. So they cut facial views of her from the trailer and designed a theatrical poster with no tagline. Only the back of Carol Anne is seen in the poster, as she looks up at the tall highrise.

[KatiesNippleTardis]

Poltergeist one is my favourite, I like poltergeist 2, but Poltergeist 3 is my favourite sequel x RIP Heather x

[cuntingham54]

Part 3 was my fav, great teaser too !! Rip Heather O'Rourke

[kirkfnw]

wworst! trailer ever.

[vheetah]

@kirkfnw there was a reason for the trailer being that way...a damn good one.

[stinkomalinko]

Wow, 3 movies? Hasn't the family been through enough in the first one?

[batsarecool09]

@stinkomalinko they sent Carol Anne to stay with her aunt and uncle in Chicago =)

[stephy7475]

notice no heather s face on this trailler,it s cause they decided not to exposure her figure cause she had already passed away by the time the film was on.

[TheChapaqua]

The trailer's better than the film.

[Magnolia296]

Many people didn't like this movie much but I loved it. Year, I expected more action/suspense scenes but I wasn't disappointed at all. the idea with Poltergeist in big city was great and Heather O'Rourke did a wonderful job (again). Plus I love Tom Skerritt ("Alien") and Nancy Allen (RoboCop trilogy, "The Philadelphia Experiment") very much. Zelda Rubinstein was cool too.

Great trequel!

[daisyhinojosa23]

if i could make a trailer it would be so awesome

[YouzeBeASkeeza]

all though the first one was the best its dissapointing at the end of this one to know that there could of been a part 4 if not the death of Heather O'Rourke, R.I.P.

[Willowville]

Wow...that's...quite possibly the lamest trailer I've ever seen. But then again, considering the movie it was representing, I guess they were kind of doing us a favor with this preview, weren't they? Not trying anything underhanded to delude prospective audiences into thinking this would be a high-quality flick, letting them know right from the get-go that how remarkably uncreative and unimpressive the trailer is is only suppose to be a reflection of what's to be found in the film itself.

[deanriam]

I think it is a teaser.

[Willowville]

Even if that is in fact the case, a teaser can still have a greater degree of quality than this thing. The lead in on this trailer is absolutely horrible, the bulk of it being nothing more than bird's eye view of Chicago in the evening. Granted, this is where the movie is set, and the building upon which they come to rest for a split second as the voice over first comes on is the skyscraper in which Carol Anne is now residing, but to start off with something like this...

[hshawn00]

wHY WOULD YOU TAKE UP SO MUCH ROOM TO NICK PICK A TRAILER THAT IS ALMOST TWENTY YEARS OLD? i ALWAYS THOUGHT THE TEASER/TRAILER WAS GREAT AND i AM AN EXTREME DIE-HARD FAN OF POLTERGIEST. i REMEMBER SEEING THIS AS A CHILD AND i COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE. i LOVE THAT IT DOESN'T SHOW MUCH.

[Willowville]

doesn't really provide any point of intrigue specific to a Poltergeist fan seeing as how a prospective audience viewing this teaser hasn't even the slightest clue that the film is set in Chicago. Off the top of my head I can think of a number of different ways to reconstruct this trailer in a way that would better get the job of pooling the support of Poltergeist followers done, such as using quick fade in/ fade out transitions to show images of items from the previous two films only slightly...

[Willowville]

iconic of the series, such as the front of the first Freeling home, the television, the toy phone from the second movie or a brief glimpse of the underground cavern in shadow below the cemetery. Mix this sequence of snapshots with one or two voice overs AT MOST, taken from the first two films that can stir in the audience vague memories of the series thus far, putting them on the edge of their seats to see if the title flashed at the end of the teaser will fulfill their expectations. After...

[Willowville]

this, THEN show only a fraction of the footage of the city used here, fading into it in the same manner you have with the past two or three images you selected from the previous movies, cue in the same voice over line used here, and keep the rest of the teaser in order to further act upon a Poltergeist fan's already sneaking suspicion that this is in fact a continuation of the series, satisfying them with glimpses of whats to come delivered with a bang that really hits home. This teaser...

[Willowville]

, if anything, achieves about an eighth of this effect. Indeed, as I said in my original post, if anything, it would seem more up to the task of reflecting how remarkably crappy the movie it's advertising is than arousing enough interest to trick people into spending a few bucks that, at the end of it all, they'll want back.

[stephy7475]

@deanriam it s the original!

[PaperP1ate]

while it was nice to see Heather one last time, I always thought they should've left it with part 2 unless Jobeth and Craig would've been in this one

[MrAndrewjosh]

The 3rd movie really suffered from alot of bad things happening while they were shooting it . . . one thing, poor Heather O' Rourke died while filming and also, the director was severely injured too.

[desaaron777]

i swear there was a 4th movie but guess not

[bobgrantsbus]

A flat ending to the trilogy. Julian Beck was sorely missed as Kane.

[salvy4u]

Was that Danielle Harris screaming??

[yodavalentine]

good preview

[dbeckhamlova23]

oh my god ok so i went to the John Hancock Building for brunch today ( the building in the movie) and the elavator, on the way to the 96th floor, got stuck! Me and 12 other people were stuck in there for an hour and a half, it was really creepy b/c the same thing happened in the movie...

[canihaveacookieplzz]

personally, i didnt like the third movie. it was nothing compared to the first!

but thats just my opinion

[horsebreedingfan2]

1st 1982 2nd 1986 3rd 1988

Release dates

[mcintyreskier018]

Do you even know how old these movies are?!?!?!?

[TECfan1]

lol thats not that old then...

[vincent1987price]

how did the we girl die?

[kjek1]

septic shock after having surgery for a blockage in her intestine, caused by crohns disease, which i also suffer from :(

[mmedefarge]

I saw an interview with the mother. She said that Heather O'Rourke had been misdiagnosed with Crohn's Disease when what she actually had was a blocked sphincter. The medications given to her for the Crohn's Disease actually exacerbated the blockage. Had she been diagnosed properly in the first place, she would have gotten the surgery right away instead of waiting and getting the wrong treatment. I guess the lesson is to always get a second opinion. Quite tragic. Poor baby.

[SimplyAAD]

12. Her name is Heather O'Rourke

[dannyjonesluvver]

did they replace the little blonde girl then cuz she died in the middle of shooting!!

[ForeverLovePrincess]

Yes they did

[shaneandstuff]

Yes.

[italianotampa]

She died AFTER the movie was made IMDB (-;

[shaneandstuff]

Well, yes and no. The movie was completed, but they were going to reshoot part of the ending. She died inbetween completeing the movie and the reshoots. The part at the end where her uncle is holding carol anne is a body double.

[italianotampa]

Oh ok, thanx for the info!

[orangegob]

Im not a True Beliver but in the first flim he use real skaltons now if u ask me u should leave the dead to rest

[mmedefarge]

Real skeletons! That's incredible; they're not that easy to come by or cheap. Hell, we had to make due with just pieces of skeletons in college and the full skeleton was plastic.

There's an artist, whose name escapes me, who bought bodies from Asia to use for his "art" (he puts them in plastic and then positions them as "sculptures". That shouldn't be allowed especially since medical students and occupational and physical therapy students are all forced to share the same cadavers.

[Alinchen3008]

His name is Gunther von Hagens!! ^^ ;-)

[Mirialiah]

It is sad. She was an amazing actress.

...and Hilary Duff was in Casper when she was little and she's not dead.

[Novelists]

There was an some-call curse on the set

[ShortyLongstrokin]

Actually, that was Christina Ricci in "Casper."

[sanadabri]

yeah, there was one with cristina ricci, and one with hilary. it was casper meets wendy

[Mirialiah]

No...there was definitely a Hilary Duff version. xD

[Glitteryiceyangel]

Ahhhhhhhhhh it aint funny.........ITS SCARRRRRY! Everyone gets cursed! Can u remember......"The Exorcist"? Peeps even died making that film! xx

[timberwolf84]

Same thing with "The Omen".

[69moondog69]

This film was dedicated to heather o rourke. it was a shame that this little talented girl. lost her life at the age of 12. rest in peace heather,

[rickydoo85]

how'd she die?

[DanielleCulberson]

a disease called (cardiopulmonary arrest and intestinal stenosis

[pancakes4everyone]

thats not funny!

[Gamemaster0987]

yeah it is

[MatthewBuick]

Rickydoo, you are terribly callous. What if one of your family member died when they were only 12.

[SephirothsFayt]

i think they meant funny as in ironic. you're makin a movie in which the subject matter is of a ghost(or ghosts) and some really weird stuff happens on set. and you make a movie about an exorcism and weird stuff happens. rather ironic,no?
