Poltergeist is a 1982 American horror film, directed by Tobe Hooper and co-written and produced by Steven Spielberg. It is the first and most successful film of the Poltergeist film trilogy. Set in a California suburb, the plot focuses on a family whose home is invaded by malevolent ghosts that abduct the family's youngest daughter.
The film was ranked as #80 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments and the Chicago Film Critics Association named it the 20th scariest film ever made. The film also appeared as #84 on American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Thrills, a list of America's most heart-pounding movies.Poltergeist was also nominated for three Academy Awards.
The Poltergeist franchise is believed by some to be cursed due to the premature deaths of several people associated with the film, a notion that was the focus of an E! True Hollywood Story.
Steven and Diane Freeling live a quiet life in a California planned community called Cuesta Verde, where Steven is a successful realtor and Diane is a housewife who cares for their children Dana, Robbie, and Carol Anne. Carol Anne awakens one night and begins conversing with the family's television set, which has started transmitting static following a sign-off. The following night, while the Freelings are sleeping, Carol Anne becomes fixated on the television set as it transmits static again. Suddenly, an apparition emerges from the television screen and vanishes into the wall, creating a violent earthquake within the house in the process, to which Carol Anne announces "They're here."

Genres: ,Here I am again, just like last time, all alone
It's a disguise, no surprise, this haunted home
No one moves, people change, and I move on
Used to be on top, now I'm weak, but once I was strong
People tell me all the time
To let it go from my mind
[Chorus]
The ghosts are all around me
I feel it in the air
But my real question is
Does anyone even care?
I'm running through a forest
Crossbones everywhere
Never gonna end this
Death is in the air
No colors, secret lies, greys and whites
No matter how we pull them, they both will collide
You ignored me, push away, making for another day
Where I can just stand here, playing with my pain
People tell me all the time
To let it go from my mind
[Chorus]
[Strings play on]
People are following me
They all just stop and stare
The undead are awakening
Underneath the layers
And I wave hello, but deep inside
There's a broken soul that's crying
I put on a smile, and try not to fret
What you say isn't what you get
