RIP Juilan Beck. You rocked this scene!
Takes some good acting skills to pull off a good bad guy like that
@@SpicyRikers Joe Biden manages it every day. 😂
He was dying of stomach cancer when this was filmed. An actor to the end.
@jmpattillo I remember when I first saw this in grade school after it came out, my Mom was watching it with me. She said "He looks so creepy." He did look creepy, but a lot of the public didn't know at the time that he was dying during the filming of this movie. Much respect to him for finishing what he could on this project even though he was terminally ill.
@@mimiz7937 He thought that his sickly and gaunt appearance from his illness would make his character more realistic. A real professional to the end.
Julian Beck performance is absolutely mesmerizing in this scene. Craig T Nelson definitely adds to his performance as well.
I agree
This gentleman scared me so much as a child .still does freak me
And Craig T. Nelson really stole the show later when he became possessed by Kane after drinking the Tequila worm.
This is a very terrifying yet inspirational scene. On screen it’s terrifying, behind the camera inspirational because Julian Beck (the preacher Kane) had been diagnosed with stomach cancer three years prior (1983), in the scene you can see how he’s using his ailment and putting it to work for him as he presents himself to the family as a mortal Man, but you can see the corruption exuding from him. I wouldn’t know if we should define this as character acting, method acting or both. But I think it’s inspiring that an actor in his position was able to give such an iconic scene that holds up decades later.
That's a professional
I remember seeing this when I was young in the 1980s. He really gave me the creeps. The character is a good example of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The actor to played this scene did it very well.
* The actor Reverend Kane * (just found out) * is Mr. Julian Beck 👏 * & they could
not have picked a better person for this part!
*** Wow 👏 😍 * Julian Beck's voice is so phenomenal in this & I could listen 🎶 😍 to '❤ his voice' ❤ all day!
He actually died before the movie finished filming. You can see that, in some of the scenes that were filmed towards the end, they had to use a puppet made up as Reverend Kane.
If Rev. Kane looked horrifically sick, he was. He was dying of stomach cancer. Great performance! 👍
The actor playing Kane was dying during the filming?
@@jamief.8406 Died at 60, 9-14-85, in the hospital of stomach cancer while Poltergeist ll was still being filmed.👍
@@royrice8021 WOW
No wonder he looked like a walking zombie
@@jamief.8406 Yes, unfortunately. He sure aced that role! 👍
@@royrice8021 appreciate the conversation.
Have a good one Hun
Julian Beck acts his socks off in this scene and makes it look effortless.
he was dying of stomach cancer during that scene.
A stunning final performance by Julian Beck, who passed from cancer a few weeks after filming this role. Though Poltergeist II has flaws, scenes like this make it worth a viewing. Reverend Kane is one of my favorite villains. Julian's performance in this scene should be studied in acting classes.
He was only 64 in this scene.
The actor who played Taylor died less than a year after this film came out
Julian Beck died at 60 years old according to two sources, wiki and imdb. 64, aye?
I actually think the only flaws the sequel has: 1. Not even bothering to mention Dana, the older sister! Originally, the script was going to mention her & say that she was away at college and too scared to return home. WHY did they not film that, I wonder?? 2. The editing is a little choppy, they leave out why Tangina says "I don't really trust my instincts anymore." & other background on Taylor & Kane's spiritual background. But even so......this film still gets a 9.8/10 from me! It is fantastic!
he was 60 not 64@@danieldevito6380
One of the creepiest scenes to ever hit the cinema....
Facts , after all these years still terrifying
That’s why it works. There is something to be said for character acting.
💯
and it was taken from stokers Dracula when he wants to enter Lucys, bedroom,and finally goes inside with the shapeshift of an animal same as the wolf of dracula,...
@@lesleyrussell8200 Poltergeist came out before that though, didn't it?
Julian Beck's "Reverend Kane" gives more horror and menace than a whole army of CGI-created zombies. A backstory on the Reverend Kane character would make a great "prequel" to the Poltergeist movies. He's a sort of combination of a Reverend Jim Jones (of the Peoples Temple) and Freddy Krueger.
Lots of potential in Reverend Kane indeed.
a good horror is usually more subtle than Zombies, Halloween is a great horror, the music and suspense make the film scarier than buckets of blood and giblets
I think you have a fantasic idea for a spinoff!
Unforgettable scene. What made the whole Poltergeist series extra creepy.
Randall Flagg is here too, somehow...
One of the spookiest scenes ever shot. The urgency of the character was fueled by the actor's urgency and end of life realities. R.I.P
Indeed. With each of a handful of shots during which the camera alternately glances away, and returns again to his face, it looks as if he is becoming more gaunt and skeletal with each successive shot. There are even one or two longer-held shots where his face appears - to me, at least - to be subtly melting into an increasingly ghoulish visage with each passing second. I don't know how such an effect would be achieved in those days, if in fact it was done with intention, but I kinda suspect that it was just his cancerous affliction draining his life force right before our eyes in real time. That's what makes this scene so spine-grippingly chilling and captivating to me. I hate to say this, in a way, but my own mother bore a strong resemblance to Reverend Cane toward the end of her life, as she slowly succumbed to her own cancer. All of what made her who she was just melting away to reveal the androgenous skull beneath. This scene rocks me to the core on so many levels. I watch it to brace myself for the inevitable. To cope by acknowledging head-on the existential dread of impending mortality itself.
Julian was so SICK with cancer, but performed his scenes in this film like a PRO!!!!!!!!!!!
He played a great part in a miami vice episode as well
I think only a short time before
his death, very professional
and dedicated actor.
I don't mean this to sound disrespectful, but... his sickness really added a lot to this character. His ill-look made him even more scary.
@@JD0124 Julian played it to a tee and his skeleton like face just made it all the more believable. No disrespect at all, he 100% knew what he was doing and gave it his all ! A true pro!
Brilliantly creep scene...I thought the film suffered after his passing, wanted to see more of him.
Poor man. He looks like the german officer who drank from the wrong chalice in Indiana Jones and the holy grail 😮
Even the dog was scared of this old chap.🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌
He was dying from stomach cancer in real life though
He never made to the completion date
smart dog to be scared of that guy
Animals know when someone is bad
This guy absolutely terrified me when I was a child I'm 45 and he still gives me the creeps
44 yes I heard he had cancer and he was on his way out . That's why he Looked so deathly.
what type of parents would allow their child to watch this movie?
80's parents. So we knew what was up. We knew the Rev Kanes of the world. @@Crazzy_Shake
That means he did his job good with the acting then lol
Richard Burton was also dying when he played O'Brian in "1984" and used it to his advantage. I don't know what my own mindset would be if I were dying of something horrible but big respect to people who manage to use it as an advantage to their craft... rather than just getting all miserable about it, I mean I can barely cope if I so much as stub my toe in the morning!
5:49 how he goes from nearly hysterical then his expression gently melts away into a calmness....so freaking creepy!
4:41 "Because I'm smart..... and I'm your friend..... and I know what you are thinking." Always gave me the most chills
Same here! While I always found this scene to be powerful & more intense than audiences at the time (including myself) seemed to realize....I also recognize WHY Reverend Kane is so scary. Its because he is NOT always an in-your-face Evil. He is charming, friendly, congenial, innocent, even shockingly-soothing (see how Stephen almost believes Kane is his friend!). That is truly scary to have that ability. He even has the ability himself to reign his own Evil in....& walk away calmly. Wow!
If I was a casting agent, that man would have been playing every creepy horror there was.
He was amazing in this role. The best. Sadly, he was dying of cancer, and not long for this world.
@@sgaiv2 and he passed before this was released but I find it interesting that he got cast in quite a few things before his death, including Miami Vice, and 9 & a half weeks …. I read that a documentary came out about his theatre work around 1983 so that could have something to do with it
I read up on the actor, his name was Julian Beck, sadly he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer three years before. What I respect about him is he was able to take his illness and make it work for him in this seen and his overall performance. It’s cemented him into pop-culture history when he otherwise might’ve been forgotten. Now that is what I call ingenuity, I have a lot of respect for that. Following his death he was posthumously inducted into the theater Hall of Fame.
@@jaybowden2658 Yes. Prior to his movie and television roles, in addition to traditional theatre, Julian Beck was part of a traveling theatre troupe called "The Living Theatre" that would put on live public displays of performance art. Much of it pretty intense, acting wise. He was a tour-de-force in his healthy years.
@@emirlsanchos6302 I already knew this but thank you for sharing anyway
One of the scariest actors ever, his presence, his demeanor, facial gestures, my god he was truly terrifying, but SO GOOD at his craft!
Same for the killer ghost in Witchboard. I don't even think makeup was applied, and his smiling face was the first real jumpscare of the film.
With acting being his passion, I think Julian intentionally used his condition to that advantage. Truly gifted actor and left his mark with this performance. Thank you Julian!!
3:40 That scared me almost as much as Kane....seeing Diane sensing the Evil also. But the way that Kane was so persuasive, he ALMOST gets inside the door! You can see how persuasive he must have been when he was only Human. Once he died & joined up with demonic Evil....he REALLY became terrifying.
Yes...DITTO. Thats what did it for me too 100%
In reality look at the tv preachers like Kennith Copeland...He is scarier than this character and he is real. There are more in real life that are wolves in sheep's clothing.
This actor should deserve much more than he recieved for his roles.
Even before a short time before his death he done more than many other in their whole life.
Agreed.
Remember watching this as a kid, that " Let me in" got stuck in my head ever since.
what type of parents would allow their kid to watch this movie?
@@Crazzy_Shake The same kind of parents who let their kids watch Return To Oz.
Remember Remember..
This Is William In 50 years.
Two Spits.
Wake Up.
It's amazing he has the strength to do this scene. He looks like he has a few days to live.
He died before finishing the movie.
Also, I learned recently that Kane the character was supposed to look 'more undead/demonic' halfway through the scene.....once he realized Stephen might not be allowing him to come inside.
I got the feeling, that this scene was recorded in 2 parts. The first part his face looked normal, and i think part 2 (4:15)was recorderd a few weeks or months later , his cancer looks more progressed , his face is much skinnier
@@JohnDeBruyne-e4z Not sure of the timeline, but I DO know that Kane was deliberately made to look skinnier & more demonic & undead in the second-half of the scene....it was to show that he was getting furious that Stephen wasn't going to let him in....so more of the 'evil' began to come out.
@@taracollins5597 hmm i see, yeah i must say it's a scary scene, it gave me goosebumps. And the scene that he dissapears and that the Rain stops to
no make up, no CGI. as a kid I was terrified shitless. granted he was sick with cancer but still did a phenomenal job
This scene sticks for decades in the mind and pops up once and a while lol
Such a great scene.. RIP Julian Beck.
The most brilliant scene in a horror movie ever
Out of all the horror movie villains, all the monsters, all the killers, the demons, the aliens, the entities etc., Reverend Kane is the only one to ever truly frightened me.
"Now, let me in, and let's talk about it." 😁
Same here...really preys on your mind. Proves he's a great actor ❤
Yes! Because it's real. I see old people like him everyday
He had Steven in a trance, where as his mind wasn't aware of the situation, almost like he was hypnotized, then he snaps out of it, when Carolanne calls him, really is a mesmerizing kind of scene and very scary and creepy.
That's because he is so close to resembling Satan and the demonic trinity given the fact that he is a false prophet and called "The Beast." The Beast is the main villain in the book of Revelation in the Bible. The Beast is basically just Satan.
He was barely 60 when he filmed this. Very dedicated actor to power through with his illness.
This scene is an iconic horror scene
Wow, that transition from 5:48 to 5:55 is horrifying. Amazing actor.
Plays the whole scale of creepiness from starting weird, through repellant to outright demonic . But still insistent and dominating. Quite a performance from Julian Beck.
One of THE creepiest characters in all of Cinematic history.
True
The music in this scene is absolutely GENIUS. Imagine all these dialogues and 80% of the tension is gone. On top of it, Julian Beck's acting is phenomenal.
Such a memorable scene. I keep coming back to it every few years . Chilling !
"Sorry to see, you're still unconvinced." Shivers...
Let this be a lesson to everyone.If you're out playing in your front yard and it immediately starts raining and you see an old man in a black suit and hat that singing and coming towards your house RUN INSIDE AND LOCK YOUR DOOR!!!
😂
Let me in......that scene is terrifying but love it r.i.p Julian beck
This scene is brilliant and it's also telling you something. Don't let evil in. It can only destroy you if you give it power. Evil will try and deceive you into letting it in. Be careful out there.
Well said, I agree with you
Yes definitely. As much as I wish Spielberg and hooper would have come back for this movie Brian gibson(the director) certainly is able to convey a tone of dread,intimidation, and inevitability in Kane. Down to the music being kind of eerie, but comfortably going down, like the music is reflecting Steven’s mind as his guard is being let down whilst a snake is inching closer.
lol
Yes. If evil actually HAD power, it wouldnt be *asking*, it would just walk right in….
@@NoUnknown-y5p True! Sometimes I believe evil does have power.....but it clearly depends on the circumstance. Also, there appear to be other factors. Free-will is the biggest one. According to some lore (and even hinted at in the Bible), that Evil just 'loves an invitation'. Not only is it easier, of course....but it seems to make Evil more powerful....AND possibly diminish the victim's ability to ask Good for help. The credo sounds like: You invited it in, so you may be on your own.
Julian Beck creeped me out then and creeps me out now! Lol this man was dying of stomach cancer when he played this role and honey! He brought that scary death vibe that made this movie great
I remember seeing this in the theater. Genuinely one of the creepiest scenes I've ever seen. Good lord, that smile. That smile stayed with me for days.
Kane is terrifying he is the creepiest and scariest movie bad guy ever
The horror's so much more pleasing to the eye, when the sun's out bright and shining, don't y'all think so?
I can imagine the Rev's saying that line🤣
@@madwolfgarton9997 Well, why don't you come with me?
Yeah , like the shining, halloween, dawn of the dead ... The real classics were well lit .. much better !!
The acting is phenomenal here, but let's also praise the precise direction by Brian Gibson, the camera by Andrew Laszlo and the music by Jerry Goldsmith. The whole scene is more than the sum of these parts, it's a downright classic.
Best scene of the movie. That dude played it great. Super creepy.
Julian Beck was absolutely perfect for the part so haunting and creepy
This guy gave me sooooo many nightmares as a child.....
Such an excellent and freaky villain. The actor playing him was phenomenal. Very sad that he passed soon after.
I actually think Craig T. Nelson was truly scared here. This was such a scary scene as he walks along the sidewalk with Carol Anne outside on the lawn. She immediately knew there was evil in their midst. A very very “sensitive” little girl with clairvoyant skills she was. Truly chilling scene…
I remember seeing this as a 7 or 8 year old and being terrified
He DOES look truly scared, doesn't he! I always thought so too! I'm glad others noticed also.
@@taracollins5597 Just good acting. He put himself in the correct frame of mind, the correct mind set, and he let the scene progress naturally. Not all actors can do that.
He didn't seem that evil to me, sounds like ol boy was just trying to help
Was? Still is ....
Poltergeist 2 was an ok movie overall, but Julian Beck’s performance made it great in the parts he was in. I read there was a scene filmed between Beck and Rubinstein, but it was cut out of the final movie. I’d like to see it.
Some of these scenes must have been shot weeks apart as Julian looks terribly ill in some of them, especially when he is talking through the screen door. If you see him in the Cotton Club a few years before this he's healthy and looks completely different. What a performance. The part where he changes his facial expression from anger to indifferent disappointment at 5:50 is stellar acting. He haunted my dreams for years when I was a kid after seeing this on TV. Poltergeist II would have been so much better if he could have filmed more scenes as it pretty much goes downhill from here when they switch to using effects to replace him. May he rest in peace.
I thought that at first too, until I read that the makeup crew actually did the scene in sequence....but applied more & more makeup to Kane as the scenes were filmed...to make him look more 'undead' & also more demonic. Then, when Stephen rebuffs him.....they make him look more 'human' again.
Still scary in 2024!!!
Yeah, because he’s running the country now
That’s because we see him every day: Joe Biden
@@Matt-cm3pl Hahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣
@@Matt-cm3pl 😂😂
2026 too
The way he shows all his teeth, all at once.The lower teeth especially. * Shivers *
One of the most scariest scenes ever...
I love the part, once rejected..
He carries on, down the path..
Continuing the song..
Priceless, great movie...
Up there with the best ☠️👍
Reverend Kane is more creepy than Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees combined!
I thought Julian Beck as the Reverend Kane was creepy as Hannibal Lecter.
Especially at only 60 when he died!
Yet he is nowhere near as well known
Joe Biden is creepier 🤣
@@trumpofhazzard9176 how?
His dentures were the scariest thing about this scene.
Looked like he had 3 or 4 sets in there.
I think it was because he was dying of cancer that they looked big, poor man
@@amethystrose3593 he had his real teeth plus another set.
He was only 60 when he died!!
I swear to god the guy standing behind the screen door scene almost hypnotized me HAHAHAHAH
One of the greatest scene in cinema, regardless of whatever. This is pure music.
The creepiness of this scene is absolutely unmatched in any other horror flick I know of.
yes, and thats a great horror movie, not spielbergs poltergeist 82 with his ETs and third kind encounters
It's every day in the white house 😂
The Kane character TERRIFIED me as a child 😩
Children are terrified of sniffy Joe Biden 🤣
He still gives the Willies, and I'm 50.
@@davidpickens8800😳😟🤭😜💜
The casting was genius. Julian at the time was terminally ill, how fitting.
So was Will Sampson (Taylor). :(
And he looks like he’s very frail and he was
his last performance
I miss the old days when we had friendly concerned neighbors like this man.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😬
Now that's funny!
😂😂
Masterful acting. I was terrified of this scene as a kid.
When you see a master performer, you know it. You can see a lot of cool Tarintino flicks and a lot of fun Deadpool movies, or a fun Pineapple Express or Curb wackiness. But when you see a performer who has had years to refine, and then a story is built and dialogue is perfect for the part, it's really a sight to see.
I couldn't have explained it better myself. Nice job. It's truly a sight in so many ways.
This scene terrified me as a kid , brilliant chilling performance, the fact that the guy was dying in real life just gives the scene more power
Was the scariest scene in the movie for me... From stroll to vanish point!
5:51 Beck's entire performance in this scene was incredible. But, I particularly like how he physically expressed the resignation of his attempt to enter the home right there. Awesome performance by Julian Beck.
He's scarier than any slasher killer because he literally represents the Satanic trinity. The Beast, the False Prophet, and the Red Dragon. He is called "The Beast" in the movies as we already know. Definitely one of my favorite horror movie villains.
This is a top comment 👍
I remember watching poltergeist as a kid 8 or 9yrs old.
And it scared the snot out of me back then.
And still today i think its among the best horror movies ever made.
Rest in peace Heather...🙏
Idk if anyone picked up on this but in the movie they say Reverend Kane died in the early 1800s. He even talks like someone from the that time period in this movie. just a superb performance. couldn't have nailed it more perfectly
You could absolutely tell from his suit
This scene was terrifying
Lol even in real life, a dog's response is telling. He's like, I'm outta here! 😂
This was a great homage to Night of the Hunter.
These films traumatized me as a kid.
Still... the old man in the black hat, scariest ghost ever
He was a demon.
@@87steaks even scarier, I'm not surprised lol.
Demons playing with people's heads
he tried that old jedi mind trick but he failed
@@jrag1000 I agree
When I was a kid, he scared me more than Freddy, Jason, or Michael ever could.
What makes this scene so interesting is that the voice of Rev. Kane was calming, like similar to ASMR and yet sinister at the same time. A hypnotic trance that was brilliantly executed by Julian Beck. Truly a wolf in sheep's skin. I always thought Part ll was better than Part l.
Also, Mr. Beck played a part in a Miami Vice episode. I think he played a banker or a CEO and did great playing that part.
To see how fast his cancer ravaged his body, Julian Beck was in The Cotton Club in 1984 and he filmed this only a year later. If you see him onscreen in the Cotton Club and then this, it doesn't even look like the same person. But still, even with his health being as bad as it was, Beck put in a masterful performance in this film that doesn't get enough credit. Reverend Kane should be listed along with Darth Vader as one of the best movie villains of the 1980's.
What a hauntingly beautiful scene where Carol Anne is sitting, watching Kane with all the rose bushes around her
As many commentors have noted, this is one of the best and most frightening monologues in a horror movie.
Delivered by the late, great Julian Beck in one of his best all time performances.
The end of the monologue where his face changes from rage back to calm is acting genius.
A fantastic and an underrated villain....a villain who one of the scariest of the 80s.
RIP Julian Beck.
My grandfather on my dad’s side was a pastor. He looked like a not emaciated/desiccated version of Reverend Kane, even sounded like him. When he visited our kindergarten class on grandparents’ day, one of my classmates screamed “Oh no! It’s that evil Reverend Kane from Poltergeist 2!” and my class panicked.
Grandpa laughed it off and said “Oh, now now! That was only a movie, but shame on your parents for allowing any of you to watch a movie like that at your ages!”.
I feel terrible! Your poor grandpa! 😮
@@Irish_Georgia_Girl nah, he was cool about it. But thanks, though.
6:08 "Pleasure visiting with you."
Considering that Julian Beck didn't even live to see the premiere of the film, his farewell is all the more sad. It almost seems as if he is saying goodbye to the audience.😞😞😞
This is the best Poltergeist movie out of all of them.
When I was a child I used to watch horror movies. Freddy Kruger, Jason, Michael Myers. None of them scared me. But Kane legitimately gave me nightmares.
This scene insane, and pure horror. The way Kane hypnotized the dad into listening and making him about to open the door before the daughter wakes him up was crazy. And during that, Kane's face turned into pure evil whether they used makeup on him or it was just his acting, but that was beyond scary.
This movie is a classic! Revern Kaine made this movie. He stole the show! Him singing is just creepy!
That actor was actually fighting cancer. He loved he could play the part and used it to make this scene so frightening
As a kid...this man freaked me out!
Now it's sniffy Joe Biden 😂
This man has scared me since I was a child, and continues to haunt me 'til this very day...and I am 41 years old.
He looks like a weird cross between Charlton Heston and Joe Biden
No, he looks very much like Mcgumry Burns from the Simpsons cartoon.🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣😜
I see that too! I immediately thought of Biden, but now that you mention it I see Heston in there too! 😂
Rev. Kane still haunts me. The Tequila scene is literally the stuff my nightmares are made of.
There was a skilled nursing facility with a security guard that looked just like this guy. I could never unsee it.
Still.. still, one of the most terrifying entities in cinema.
This guy scared the bejesus out of me as a kid
“How do you know?!!”
“Because I’m smart, and I read the script.”
The sunshower makes this all the creepier.
Scared the balls out of me. What a great film.
Such an amazing actor I can't imagine the greatest actor in the world doing better.
The evil version of Don Knotts.
I thought that was Don Knotts
Of all 3 , the 2nd was by the far the best in my opinion, it never gets old.
Wow…best horror performance ever! RIP
This guy scared me as a kid. I even thought he was gonna pop out in the dark when I was a kid.
did you check the closets for him?
@@infiniteworfare5089 No but I would see him in the dark.
Loved 1 & 2 nothing else can compares.
