"It was more funny than scary to me". All that screaming and looking away and covering your eyes tells me a different story than the one you're sticking to. 😂
🤫 don’t tell nobody 🤣🤣🤣
Nice profile pic homie! I actually recommended Zombie in one of my comments!
@@reservoirdude92 You're a gentleman of exceptional taste!
It does have some funny moments tho.
My family: Back up , you’re sitting too close to the T.V
I'm old enough to remember the national anthem being played at the end of each broadcast day. Does anyone else remember the PSA every evening at 9pm? "Its nine o'clock, do you know where your children are?"
Lol Apparently I’m old enough to bc Blank remembers it and I’m older than him. I must have been in bed super early
I remember the national anthem, but since I was the kid my mom heard the 9pm thing more that I did lol.
I miss the shut down at night. Now I find myself watching nonsense half the night.
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!
Yea, but in reality, it's just coincidental events that occurred. haha
Sucked how the little girl died though
@@ChrissonatorOFL
@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.
Your dog popping up out of the covers at 9:40 was perfect. To answer your question, back in the day, after all programming on tv ended, they played the national anthem and then dead air was played until morning shows.
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.
Thanks for writing this. Can't believe I had to scroll so far down for this info to their question, lol.
I hated this as a kid, hearing the anthem and knowing there was nothing else coming, meanwhile I was wide awake. And here we are today with 24/7 wall to wall everything and anything, lol.
@@chefskiss6179 That meant it was time to rest (adult) or take your butt to sleep (kid)!!!!!! I took to sleep.
Even in the 80s the big 3 networks would sign off at 2am
Yep, off at midnight and back on at 6 a.m.
Born in the late 80’s and I remember this lol
Watching you constantly saying it's time to go made me go listen to Eddie Murphy, the last track off his Comedian album where he's talking about this movie and asks "why don't white people get out the house when there's a ghost in the house?" Cracks me up every time.
🤣🤣🤣 as soon as I finished watching this I asked blank why the hell they didn’t leave and he sent me that Eddie Murphy thing. I was cracking up bc I never seen it
Made me laugh when J said...
"I want EVERYTHING. I want your shadow." 😆
My dad took me to see this in the theater. I was 4. I didn't sleep right for months!
I always felt bad for Robby, the brother because he was the ultimate middle child; the oldest one did whatever she wanted, everyone else was preoccupied with Carol Ann, and he got eaten by a tree and choked out by a clown doll and no one gave an eff!
🤣🤣 nobody was concerned at all about him
Facts. LOL
Whats with gen xers parents? I left my story, my mom did the same damn thing. Kids today dont know.
To be fair, they all ran out and helped get him away from the tree, while Carol Anne was left all alone in their room. Not even the sister stayed with her. They all ran out to help Robbie.
@@ElaMongrella If ANYONE saw A TREE EATING ONE OF THEIR OWN CHILDREN, I'm pretty sure that would be the one and ONLY concern at that particular moment. lol

"That thing swinging" is something I never thought I would hear about Tangina, you cracked me up with that one, love it! I hope you will check out #2 & 3 as well. Another fun reaction would be "The Prophecy" with Christopher Walken (1995)
🤣🤣🤣 it was swinging. And I’m pretty sure that’s on the list
"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
These facts are brought to you by 🐊
I didn't know ANY of THAT! Thanks!
Another fact: The skeletons in the pool were real..........
I love that the chairs scene was done practically! Makes it feel like a theater production.
You're welcome everyone! 😎
RoseTintMyWorld2875 ...Indeed. Practical effects and stunts made filmmakers think.
I was 10 when I saw this on HBO and even at 10, I knew staying there after getting the Daughter back crossed a line. There would not be one more moment in that house after getting her back. This Family was nuts..
Yea I don’t know why they thought it was cool
The reason they play the national anthem is because, back in the olden days, before cable TV, TV stations went off the air around 2am and came back on around 5-6am. The national anthem played to mark the end of the broadcasting day.
I had to be sleep early bc I don’t remember that lol
Fun fact, in Charleston SC they actually did this, they "moved a cemetery" by moving the headstones but NOT the bodies
That’s fucked up 😡😡💔
That’s horrible
My brother in law briefly worked for a developer, and told us about odd things he'd seen and heard. It turned out that the development had been built over a 19th Century cemetery.
Years ago, I decided that I'd be cremated. I don't want to be exhumed or have a house built on top of me. They're still finding mass Graves under houses and other places in the UK that date from the Black Death.
Fun fact: when my dad was a kid up by Tulsa, they built Keystone Lake, and evacuated Mannford, where my dad lived & went to school. Kids used to sneak out into the abandoned town to party or drink prior to flooding. Lots of cemeteries down at the bottom of the lake now. Pretty much like O Brother Where Art Thou.
Kevin, are you talking about the Circular Church graveyard, where the bank parking lot is now?
This was what rated PG was back in the day. So was Jaws. They’re two of the reasons we have PG-13 today and the standard for an R is higher when it comes to gore. Great reaction. Always a good time!
It’s crazy to me to think that jaws was just PG-13. Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed
"I fought an oak tree and it shit me out" had me in tears laughing! You are one funny guy 😂 great reaction, you had me laughing the whole way through. I love me some blind wave reactions but yours are just extra special! Always make my day.
You're so funny and entertaining. Keep doing this forever.
Pet the dogs for me. I sure get a kick out of them.
As long as y’all keep enjoying I will come doing it. And I will definitely give them some love from you
Lol! Before cable was all over the country, we only had a maximum of four vhf stations (CBS, ABC, NBC, and in Philly, PBS, which was channel 12), and a few uhf channels (17, 29, and 48 in Philly), and they didn't program all 24 hours. 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.
Lol I’m have to ask my mom what was my bed time bc I don’t remember it at all
"This concludes our broadcast day"
Every time he mentioned the anthem and not knowing what was happening I felt older and older.
When someone mentions the National anthem in this movie... I realize how much younger than me these reviewers are. It played in the morning too before the stations started their morning programming.
I knew that.
I was born in 1982, which was one of the greatest years for movies. Poltergeist, Conan the Barbarian, Blade Runner, ET, The Thing, Rocky III, First Blood, Tron, The Dark Crystal, and a ton more films. My childhood was full of some of the best movies ever made, and I'm very fortunate to have been born when I was. Such a great childhood and teenage years too.
Man, I'm glad that's not my year. Every year for my birthday we watch a movie from the year I was born... but usually I watch Airplane lol (we watch Empire Strikes Back often enough throughout the year). If I were an '82 baby I'd never make up my mind.
@@arisucheddar3097 1980 was a good year too. I agree though it would be hard to pick a film. When watching an older film, I usually go with certain films that have a lot of memories attached to first seeing it.
I was born in 1971 and got to enjoy these movies in a theater. Wonderful times back then.
@@harleymax01 Oh yes, you are very fortunate to have been able to witness these films firsthand when they came out.
Thanks for nearly KILLING ME!!! I was taking a swig of tea when you made that R Kelly joke 😂🤣😂 I almost choked to death trying not to spray tea around the room & over my PC. Fethin burned my hand cause I was laughing so hard & it spilt out of the mug.Had to go & get changed as I was partially drenched in hot tea. Git 🤣Masterfully timed & done to perfection. As for the Mom's reaction. I have a sneaking suspicion that whatever it was Mommy was smoking at the start of the film was a weeeeee bit stronger than just some weed. Feth alone knows what that crazy woman is on!!!
Another great one. Give R&D a damn good fussing from us here in the UK. & much love & great karma for everyone 😁
🤣🤣🤣 I apologize for about killing you but I’m glad you enjoyed it. I will definitely give them some love for you
“I don’t know how you snitch out someone to dead people, but I’m going to drop a dime on you sir. Right after I put my foot in your ass!”
Hands down. One of the best comments I’ve ever heard about this movie in a review.
"Yo they work for R. Kelly."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You asked why the National Anthem kept playing? Back in the 1980s, at the end of the programming day, the networks used to sign off with the National Anthem, then the screen would go to static until morning.
Sad Note: Dominic Dunne the older sister was murdered and was not in Poltergeist 2 or 3.
Sad Note 2: Julian Beck the Man from the Other Side and Will Sampson an actor in many movie did this one and passed away after it was done.
Sad Note 3 : Carol Anne the actress Heather O'Rourke died at a young age after Poltergeist 3.
It was called the Poltergeist Curse.
That’s wild
Dominique Dunne was murdered by her boyfriend who strangled her and just serve a few months in jail. Julian Beck was horrific in Poltergeist 2 because he had cancer and oy have a few weeks to live after this movie. Will Samson also in Poltergeist 2 suffered from scleroderma, a chronic degenerative condition that affected his heart, lungs, and skin. 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. Heather O Rourke became ill with giardiasis, which she contracted from well water, O'Rourke's cause of death was ruled congenital stenosis of the intestine[28] complicated by septic shock..
I don't think O'Rourke even finished Poltergeist 3. Or maybe she was just really sick. There was a reason her face was kept hidden at the end of the film.
I remember watching this in the theater when it was released. This was a genuinely scary movie when watched in the theater for the first time. Amazing movie and that DAMN clown was so creepy that it scarred me for life. 😂
Lol that clown is super creepy
It always blew my mind that this movie is rated PG
Clown ruined me as a kid. After watching this, my dam sister would put a clown doll at the end of my bed one night and then would move it around. Have it on top of my nightstand etc. Almost gave me a god dam heart attack
TV stations used to go off the air at a certain time every night and he would always play the national anthem
FYI this is how many of us learned as kids the counting between lighting and thunder trick. And yes after this evrytime we saw lightning we started counting.
🤣🤣🤣 I use to do that
@@J_EOMReacts we all did
I first saw this movie when I was not much older than the kid who played Carol Anne. I also knew a girl around that time who looked a lot like her, which made the movie more strange than scary for me. Her parents knew she looked like her, so they got her to say "We're here" whenever they came over.
I actually found the sequel scarier. I won't mention anything from it, though, in case you want to watch it.
Blank (editor) said his cousin looked just like her and had the same name
"He's in his holy temple!"
Fun fact! One of the reasons this film series is considered to be cursed, is many of the skeletons in the "pool scene" are actual human remains. Production did not inform the actors as they were filming, but it was cheeper back then to purchase cadavers than it was to reproduce them.
Back in the day, tv shows went off the air around 1am, and always played the National Anthem.
17:00 "-When you sold me this house you forgot to mention one little thing: You didn't tell me it was built on an indian burial ground!
-No, you didn't..!
-Well... that's not my recollection...
-He says he mentioned it five or six times." :)
He wouldn’t been able to say anything to me at all
"He gonna grow up to be a lumberjack." LOL
🤣🤣🤣
The guy that played coach is the only Survivor of that movie series everyone down to the cameraman died and very tragic ways
Not the corpse throwing up gang signs. I nearly cried. I really shouldn't be watching you while I'm working. 😂
Fun fact -- the skeletons in the pool at the end were REAL. The production bought them from a local medical teaching facility. They dressed them up a bit, then tossed them into the pool with the actress. And apparently she wasn't told they were real. Oh, and the essence of your thesis about wipipo... true.
🤣🤣🤣
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! 😁
Lol you were brave
My parents took me to see ET in the theater, but not this one. Too scary for me, but I don't remember being scared when I saw Gremlins...
@@stevem.1853 ET was scary AF lol
Exorcist and Carrie did it to me lol
@@rickwelch8464 haha I wasn't allowed to watch those until I went to college (I guess they figured Poltergeist was OK for kids, despite the face-falling-off scene)
That was early morning TV back in the 80s. Once programming ended, the anthem would play, followed by the test bars or snow until morning programming started.
That’s wild
@@J_EOMReacts there was no all night programming back then. And I was real little, but I remember it clearly.

1 - Train to Busan
2 - Alice in borderland

I don't believe the homeowner's insurance would cover this...
Oh not at all lol
As a white person, I laughed so much with all you said. Also I listened with headphones like yours so I knew exactly what you were talking about. It was extra creepy.
FUN FACT ....Did you know that they used real human skeletons in the pool scene....
Lol not until today
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.
🤣🤣🤣 that’s amazing
This was terrifying when it came out. Mainly cause there wasn’t much talk of paranormal activity in the early 80’s and it haunted peoples dreams and thoughts after seeing it .
Crazy that Steven speilberg made Poltergeist and ET at the same time.
I still got to watch ET
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.
TV stations all used to play the national anthem just before they went off the air for the night, usually at midnight as I recall.
I don’t know how I didn’t know this
"Have we tried to bust the TV open!?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol it wouldn’t have hurt any
Those skeletons in the pool were real. They were cheaper than fakes.
On a scale of how fucked up is is fucked up?
That's fucked up
I agree
The national anthem used to play after the TV networks went off the air. Way back in the day they shut off after the late shows about 12:30 am.👍
National anthem made me laugh, when I was a kid my dad would fall asleep drunk after benny hill and that would play before programming ended for the night.
I was about 10 when this came out, and we all went to see it. I don't know what my family was thinking taking me to a movie like this, but I loved it. Watching it now I still love it but I can't help but laugh now when I realize that dude was really about to get up in the middle of the night and make himself a steak in someone else's house.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 he legit was doing that like it was nothing wrong with it
4:09 that’s the point. Little girls are supposed to be sweet and innocent. So when creepiness surrounds them it becomes even creepier :-)
It’s funny how younger folks don’t know how back when there were only three stations they would go off air around 11 or midnight and they would play the national anthem and then go to static for the night. Seems so long ago lol!
Lol that’s wild to me
And after that it transitioned to just being bad infomercials. There's still a lot of that, but there's also movies and TV going on at all hours as well.
That little girl had the saddest, shortest most painful life. RIP Heather O'Rourke.
I heard some bad things happen to her
Terrible
Your reactions crack me up so much, and I love how you always choose some object from the movie you're watching to serve as the little pop-up "profanity blocker". :) We had a painting in our basement of a clown that looked a lot like that doll (God knows why), and I had slumber party in '83 and we all watched that movie for the first time... and had to sleep in the same room as that freaking painting. Scarred a few girls for a decade or two, I'm sure. Great reaction!
🤣🤣🤣 I would have burnt that picture. The profanity blocker start out bc me and Blank thought it was funny but it has turned into a game pretty much to see what people guess is in the live chat
Brother about the National Anthem.. You don't remember b4 cable channels when local TV stations used to sign off late at night by playing the National Anthem?
We old as hell for remembering when tv channels went off. But they sure did.
I don’t remember none of that. I must have been sleep before it happen
Back before cable. I was the youngest so I was the remote control. And rabbit ears. Covered in foil.
I saw this as a kid and that scene where the tree takes the boy and tries to eat him ruined the next 10 years of restful sleep for me.
Lol I couldn’t imagine seeing that as a kid bc I grew up around 100 trees
I like the reason why the lil girl has a helmet on, makes sense.
beautiful jerry goldsmith score. just incredible.
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.
Back in the day... TV channels were not 24Hr/ 7 days a week. They ended programing at like 2am and every time the signed off, they played the National Anthem.
“That thang swinging, ain’t it?”
Just as I was thinking “look at the pooper on that trooper.”
We’re one and the same.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Classic.
This was fun
You had me at Craig T Nelson and Coach!! Here for the film, stayed for the co-pilots! Milton and Grace love watching them with me.
I hope all y’all enjoyed
@@J_EOMReacts Dude, I was losing it laughing at you. I laughed so hard I was in tears. 💯 Love ya’ll!
What always fascinated me , was when they first showed their house... I thought... That looks like the house in E.T. Little checking and yes, it was in the same neighborhood, and Spielberg was filming both movies nearly simultaneously. Both movies were release within one week of each other in 1982..and Mr. Spielberg dominated the box office in that year.
This is literally one of the oldest memories I have as a kid one time when I was I don’t know how old I snuck out of my room at night at the top of the stairs to see the adults in my family watching this movie right at the part with the clown doll attacking and the giant tree monster 😱 I was like WTF lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣 I would have screamed
You are a joy to watch. Some of the things you say make me laugh hard. The R Kelly joke made me snort..And I need laughs right now, I am suffering crippling depression because of personal events, your videos take the edge of. I thank you for that my friend. May your life be full of joy and blessings.
I’m glad that I can in anyway.
The reason for the national anthem and static is simple. There used to only be tv programming on until 1 or 2am. After that, all stations would play the national anthem and all that would be left after that was static until programming came on again which was either at 5 or 6am when the first show on would either be morning news or a farm report show.
Back in the day they didn’t have over night reruns on tv. So after 12am or so if your tv was on you’d just see statics with the national anthem playing all night.
The fact that I now know you’ve seen teen witch just makes me like you more lol I thought no one had seen that movie but me. It’s so corny and bad but such an enjoyable film from my childhood.
🤣🤣🤣 I own teen witch. It’s on my Xbox saved
@@J_EOMReacts hahaha we could be friends. 80’s movie marathons are a blast!! I still catch myself singing top that sometimes. 🤦♀️
@@sweetkiss119 🤣🤣🤣 me too
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.
Lol I had to ask my mom she said I was sleep by 930
9:35 ... that dog's reaction is priceless.
Fun fact: moving just the headstones is extremely common. Listened to a podcast interview with a woman that studies headstones for a living. Apparently it happens all the time.
You and these dogs have me rollin', man 🤣 Love your reactions; you're one of the funniest I follow, and I ain't afraid to tell all the other reactors that
🤣🤣 that is awesome.
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.
Not sure if you remember, but back in the day at midnight TV stations would actually shut off. They played the National Anthem to close their broadcast for the night.
“Why don’t white people leave the house when there’s a ghost in the house?”- Eddie Murphy ‘Delirious’ 1983.
Hey guys, I was just informed by Blank, JL will be reacting to The Thing in October. Great news!!!! I hope they’ll get to the Green Mile soon. This is the best reaction channel I’ve ever watched.
🤣🤣🤣 October is going to be rough.
Green mile is coming soon too
Don’t worry JL, I”ll be there holding your hand in spirit.😀
Ohhhh booyyy, can’t wait for October!! Please add American Werewolf in London to your October list!
There was a documentery called the "poltergeist' curse. There are some deaths of cast members shortly following filming the movies. Dominique Dunne, the older sister, died in 1982 when her estranged husband killed her. Heather O'Rouke, Carol Anne, passed away during the filming of the 3rd movies. She had an intestinal blockage that was 100% preventable if she had medical care earlier on. Oliver Robbins, the brother, was almost strangled by the creepy clown doll when it malfunctioned. Ryan Lawson, who was in the 1st movie, was in a plane crash that killed 27 people. The actor who played the evil preacher Kane in the 2nd movie died of stomach cancer in 1983. The native American actor who was in the 2nd movie, died in a transplant surgery. There were several weird things that occurred on the set and there was an actual excorism that was done during the filming of the 2nd movie. Rumor is that the skeletons Speilberg used were actual human skeletons. They were supposedly cheaper than fabricated ones. Again, lots of creepy "stuff" surrounds those movies.
That’s wild as hell
It wasn't just a rumor. They were actually real human skeletons, which was a common practice in Hollywood at the time because it was cheaper. All the skeletons in movies like "The Goonies" and the Indiana Jones series were real as well.
Your bones are next
Dominique wasn’t killed by her estranged husband. She wasn’t married. It was her boyfriend.
They did unspeakable things to Heather and should have went to prison for it, there was NO intestinal blockage, they destroyed her insides with what they did to her.
in the 70s television ended for the night with the national anthem
9:35 the national anthem playing on the TV is something that used to happen at the end of the broadcast day/night.
I’m old enough to remember when TV stations would play it right before they signed off late at night.
These days, TV stations will play infomercials or re-runs.
I hate infomercials. They have me up in the middle of the night like dang I really do need this
Your reactions are absolutely hilarious. I went to see this twice, the week it was released. I didn't really find it all that scary, but was amazed at the special effects. The world of movie making before CGI had a tendency to have unrealistic and sometimes laughable special effects, but this movie was different. Even after 40 years, they still hold up pretty well.
Yeah the CGI looks really good to be as old as it is
@@J_EOMReacts It's actually not CGI, though. They used some very creative practical effects since CGI was in it's beginnings and rarely used by 1982.
@@gloriagaddy oh so those was actually practical effects. That’s amazing
Oh man are y'all ready for this?? I haven't clicked on a video this fast in my LIFE 😂
Hope you enjoyed
I haven't disliked a video yet brother!
@@reservoirdude92 that’s awesome. It makes me happy knowing that
9:30 to 9:45. That was funny. You cover your dog with the blanket, he or she removes the blanket like saying "no, i want to see this scene" and then is sitting next to you lol.
🤣🤣🤣 I covered Romulus and Drogo is the one that popped out on the other end.
"You're right! YOU go!" had me lmfao 🤣
It’s so funny…they stay that last night in the house like nothing happened. No one’s even nervous 🤣 🤣
Lol he went to work like ain’t shit happen
@@J_EOMReacts 😂 kids playing…everyone like night night 🤣
Produced by Steven Spielberg, directed by Tobe Hooper who did The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Spielberg who cowrote the script and totally expanded on an old Twilight Zone episode called Little Girl Lost.
I’m have to check that episode out
I saw that episode. It was creepy. While watching it I realized where the inspiration for Poltergeist came from.
@@orlandoruizjr3834 , it also has a great score by Bernard Herrmann.
@@robertjewell9727 the guy who did Psycho, right?
@@orlandoruizjr3834 , yes. My friend Dorothy's dad. I've been following his music for years.
It's truly a struggle to keep my eyes on you because the dog is so adorable. It's the EYES!
Lol him my little pretty boy
Yes. Those are roller skates without the boot. You slide your foot into them & they slip over your shoes.
Back in the day, before Cable TV, we had 3 channels and after the news and Johnny Carson the National Anthem would play before the channel signed off for the night. The color palette would show, then static.
That’s wild
When the workers are catcalling the daughter, the one in front saying I love you played Billy in Predator. He was a badass. And I think the boss was one of the town bosses in Jaws who wanted to keep the beach open. Nope I just IMDb him. He was not in Jaws but he was in so many tv shows you couldn't help seeing him. Even two episodes of Coach.
Fun fact. The skeletons used in the pool at the end were real. The actress was not aware to after filming.
That’s just wrong all the way around
We are RIGHT for wanting to see your jump scares!!
Well you’re going to love October
"listen.." 😂😂😂😂
Weeks later, I'm seeing JL working for soooo many companies. He could have been a guard at the Lecter Memorial Psych Ward & Cage Emporium. He'd be a chef in a palace kitchen, dealing with all kinds of delicacies. Or in this one, he could be a camera-technician and food taster for a company that does paranormal house-sitting.
Lol I’m heard Walmart was hiring. I’m go there lol
When I was a kid, this movie scared me deeply, now as a parent, this movie scares me deeply.
I understand completely
Yeeeah! Good, solid, healthy, wholesome reaction! JL looks at the camera with big eyes, scared so many times! Heehee! JL says, "I would bust every TV in the house!" Hahahaha! "..Eaten by a tree! 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! :)
Lol glad you enjoyed
Heard about the curse of this movie. Within 5 years of this the little girl died of the flu,the older sister was murdered at her front door by a stalker & in the 3'rd one an indian chief in it died from unknown causes a few months after filming. NOW get creeped out.
That’s sad and creepy
@@J_EOMReacts Really is.Kinda thought it would add a little to the experience. Honestly,you're a REAL FUNNY GUY! You: How am I a funny guy? What,I'm a clown,I AMUSE YOU?!WHAT THE XXXX'S SO FUNNY ABOUT ME
