Poltergeist 3 original ending

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This is the original ending to Poltergeist 3,1988. It was original suppose to be released December 25th,1987 but the director didn't like the ending so they decided to change up the ending a little bit. However Heather o'rourke the star of the film suffered cardiac arrest the morning of February 1st,1988 and died later that day. The new ending was filmed March 1988.
This recut was put together by Flowtac Entertainment • Poltergeist III Ending...
Fact that we actually see Heather as Carol Anne in this ending is so much more heart felt, given it was the last time we see her in film
After almost 30 years later we could see the original ending.
It's not the original one
@@master.shakeeeee Yes it is the end was a reshot
@@stephy7475 yea A RESHOT so it's not original. Heather o'rourke died in this movie. And in the end they knew, so the filmed an ending before the movie, but forgot about it, and this was the ending in which they filmed before the movie. The ending on the movie was Heather's dead body being held by Diane.
And they also said that she was alive to cover up the fact that they killed her. Because how could she go 12 F-ING YEARS WITH SO LITTLE FOOD????? And how did you not see the blood on Diane's hand while holding her dead body pretending, she's alive.
Wtf are you people on about 🤣
Heather and Zelda make this film watchable. What a precious, talented little angel Heather was. We love you and Zelda. Neither of you will ever be forgotten. RIP to them both. ❤
miss both
I’m sorry but to say that they make it “watchable” is a REACH. This is the most iconic ghost film of all time. It literally set the standard for what a ghost film should be like. Even without them it’s AMAZING like don’t forget about how ICONIC Dr. Lesh’s scene explaining why ghosts exist was. That scene gives me chills every time I see it. Zelda & Heather are what made the movie ICONIC but it was amazing even without them.
@@tryme913You're talking about the original film. This is Poltergeist 3, the second snd Weakest sequel.
I don't agree I Love all 3 Movies Tangena & Taylor are amazing
This ending feels so much more satisfying.
I wanna know why they changed! 😱I only saw that someone does carry her in the end... I DON'T see her face
Yes.
Interesting that the preacher was finally able to crossover.
This movie is connected to some real interdimensional magic.
I like this so much better, except for all of the flashing. Even just adding this final scene with them all safe, including the boyfriend, and sitting around as shown here could have been kept in. At least Heather's face as Carol Anne could be seen in the last scene as closure for the character being okay.
Dude, Heather O'Rourke died in this!
@@master.shakeeeee She died during filming though, so I wonder if this scene was filmed before her death, hence why the filmed the other ending.
Rest in peace Heather O'Rorke ❤❤😢😭
FlossLouise rip indeed she's still missed
Zelda Rubinstein and Nathan Davis too
rip Dominique Dunne from the 1st Poltergeist movie as well as Heather O' Rourke Zelda R all were precious souls!!

RIP will sampson, Julian beck, tobe hooper
They should've used this ending instead. @ least the we would've known what had happened to Donna's boyfriend Scott. & also, we would've had seen Heather O'Rourke one last time. This ending's better.
R.I.P Heather O'Rourke &
Zelda Rubinstein.
I know right?! I was like WTF when they didn't show Scott on the TV version like he's dead. Bullshit! Scott is cool and cute! Lol
I thought they had Scott pop out of the pool earlier in the movie and run away covered in ice?
Andy Smith no, if you see the scene, the person that get out of the pool is the scott reflection, not the real one
If it was the Scott reflection, Why would it tell the people what happened to him and the girls?
Nick Potterfield It wasn't the real Scott that popped out of the pool. After the fake Donna returns, they make out and he rips part of her face off. They then stroll down the hall and they're only visible in the mirrors, revealing it wasn't the real Donna and Scott. Scott's fate is left unknown in the finished film.
Rest in Peace Heather O'Rourke.
Forever in our hearts.
Its a cursed movie,... after the movie including o'rourke died like her
sister also and a man who was playing at the 1 poltergeist , even the
house from the 1,2 poltergeists fell of a big earthquake :(
@@themisktbs7989 they used real bones too !! In the 🎥 first two movies . that's bad juju
@@themisktbs7989 Your brain is cursed, if you believe in curses!
This closes things up nicely. The other one is basically just "Oh no he's still alive and out there, I guess things haven't changed"
If you mean Kane so out there yes. But alive I doubt it. ;)
Wow ! This is the first time I ever saw this ending, I like it way better. They should have used this one where you can see Carol-Ann as well as Scott with Donna, rather than the stand for Carol Ann done in the re-shoots not showing her face.
That part makes you just think of her death at the end when Bruce is holding her when she looks like she's sleeping.
so so sad.
I think this ending was so much better. There was really nothing they needed to change. Tangeena already said her nightmare is over
Yeah, so that other one was meaningless and made no sense. I only like scary endings if they make sense.
Interesting ending. The Kane look alike was almost unbelievable, but Julian Beck can never be replaced. Only wished the remake had the beast/preacher. Was disappointed with the remake. Was hoping it was good enough for a sequel where Kane arrives. I vote for Tony Todd (candyman) or Doug Bradley (pinhead) but.....
This ending is so heartfelt. Giving us that final conclusion.
She died at the end during when they filmed it. the 3rd Poltergeist.
@@St.MichaelsXMotherThey need to remaster the third film with the original ending.
Why didn't they just to with this ending? Sure it was shorter than the theatrical one but it U could see Heather O'Rouke's face and it even had Scott.
The ending that was in the movie didn't really give much closure because of the lightning and Kane's laugh. Like he wasn't even gone. It would have worked if Heather were alive and there was a possibility of a 4th Poltergeist.
This ending wrapped everything up at least. Gave closure.
Hey so they were gonna make a poltergeist 4 set in 2003 with an adult Carol Anne played by Hilary duff but it was scrapped so they never finish it they were supposed to make 5 movies but it never happened sadly
It felt like they intended to use the "nightmare on elm street" formula and turn it into a franchise but Heather's death made that impossible, it would've been insensitive of them to recast her back then after how traumatic it was for everyone who new and worked with her
@Broadway23 I don't think that would've worked, no shade to Hilary Duff but I don't see her as a horror actress.
Weird how we didn't get this ending, it's basically the same, only we actually get to see Heather's face at the end, along with Scott. I also think it's dumb how they re-edited the lightening in the final version to make it look all sinister and whatnot, it makes so sense.
Adding the lightning was just a last-minute add thing in case it made a lot of money if they wanted to they could do another sequel and keep milking it but with a new actress for Carol Ann or even someone new playing the teen version its also a common thing that people think Horror movies all have to end with one final scare.
@@boomstickcritique902
The death of Heather was even more a reason to choose the original ending as a fourth part without he wouldn't have worked anyway !
I'm just confused as to why they changed the ending with a different girl passing herself off as Carol Anne when they already had an ending with Heather in it
Director Gary Sherman hated this ending and wanted to reshoot it but Heather died
Alex WAllar Gary Sherman was an idiot and a poor man's Spielberg no wonder this movie flopped
You have to know in the 3rd poltergeist there were alot of references with Heather and her death through numbers. The 1988 poster of the superbowl hints all the corruption yet this movie was released in 82. Im sure kayleigh1999 wouldnt speak about it though.
@@Luispbringstheheat You're right! This movie wasn't Spilberg work but it still good. I don't understand why the director didnt like it. Everyone loved it plus Heather's final scene look fine to us: Family all together and alive in the movie.
Supposedly, there were plans for Poltergeist IV. Sinc this ending would practically put an end to the story, they decided to re-shoot it with a new scene that could be considered as cliffhanger. That is further shown with Kane's laughter heard in the final shot of the existing ending. That, sadly, doesn't explain why they still did re-shoots after Heather's death.
I like this ending better than the ending in the movie.
This is the real ending.
Because of her "dead" frozen body, they were afraid of exploiting her death
@@nicoleharrington9086 that can't be the reason because there are other parts still in the movie where Carol-Ann was zombified so surely they would have removed those too after her death
He didn't like it? Shit, I love this ending it's better than the other one.
This isnt the actual original ending its footage from the original mixed with the one we got with different music but I saw the actual original ending on the blu ray DVD and its awful, frozen donna looks so fake
@@jameslatrobe it is
@@angelothehorrorfan5013 No, this is a recut by Flowtac Entertainment, if you purchased the Poltergeist III collectors edition blu-ray, the actual original ending has no sound and the special effects look terrible. This is just an ending that uses footage from the actual ending filmed in March 1988 and the original ending which was filmed in June 1987.
@@jameslatrobe 100% correct
Kayleigh I just finished rewatching Poltergeist 3 after many, many years and it was like the first time - however the ending of the official release left me empty so I searched on youtube and found your post. Thank you so much you angel of Heather, thank you for sharing this ending with us all!
Honestly this would have made a much nicer ending
This is the superior ending. How disrespectful to cut Heather O'Rourke's final moments on film in favor of a stand-in who was clearly too young to be the character. I don't even understand the justification to finish reshoots when this ending was already completed.
To be fair, it's creepy she was 12 here and they're acting like she's still 6. Speak and Spell at 12 years old?? Footie pajamas? Weird. Too weird.
@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 well, she was going to a school for the troubled, perhaps they were trying to portray an instance of stunted growth.
Great but can anyone explain to me WHY they reshot the ending with a body double of poor heather when they already had the shoot of them all together!!???
They claimed they just didn't care anymore they said everyone was heart broke after she died
Because the director didn't like the original ending, he already planned to reshoot the ending, but Heather died before they had the chance, the director wanted to pull the plug but decided against it.
Far superior ending. Question. It sounds like Jerry Goldsmith's score in this version. Yet we know he didn't do the original score.
R.I.P Heather O'Rourke.
Hey gusy so, that girl is hether oruorke or not? Sorry im from mexico and I dont understand so much english lenguage hether die before the ending rigth?
Brenda lizbeth Lopez, yes. Heather O’Rourke died from medical malpractice, during a routine surgery to fix her intestinal problem on February 1, 1988, right after the director shot the last scene for the Poltergeist 3 movie. This all took place during a break from filming. The director wasn’t satisfied with the original ending, so reshot it, which is shown in the Poltergeist 3 film. Everybody was heartbroken over Heather O’Rourke’s death and barely got through the redone last scene, which is why you can’t see Heather O’Rourke’s face, because it’s a stunt double. The actor who played as Scott, who later explained what had really happened when the director had previously lied by saying there was no original, secret ending scene, couldn’t make it for the reshooting, due to time constraints with another project he was working on at the time. Nobody wanted to have anything to do with the film, however, the bosses of the director demanded that he pay back the money he had owed the MGM company for making the film in the first place. This is why we now have Poltergeist 3 the way it is.
I mean, i've read details about some of these scenes from behind the scenes and I understand why the scene with Tangina banishing Kane with the necklace didn't work, It wasn't shot propperly and if one scene needed special effects it was that. Other than that it actually makes a lot more sense than the ending that was released, also it fixes the plot hole of Scott not coming back.
I have heard alot about this ending, but it's the first time for me seeing it. Thank you for posting it. I always have tears when Tangina says she'll always love her and that Carol Anne's nightmare is finally over. My heart breaks all over again. Love and miss you Heather, rip.
Why would her parents get rid of her in the first place isn't that kind of cold
@@ryanmozert Didn't you see Poltergeist II? They were financially broke. Can't feed a kid if you've got no money.
@@ryanmozertI think it was supposedly to protect her or something along those lines
No matter which ending fans prefer for me it is simply a matter of respect or should have been. These movies became what they did because of Heather O' Rourke. It was wrong to take the ending out that had her in it; the last footage seen of her face before she passed away! The endings were fairly similar. I suppose the director didn't see it that way but honestly, the child everyone associated with the Poltergeist trilogy had just died and he decides to go ahead reshoot the ending using her double?! :/
Wow, this ending is so much better. How did they think the reshoot was an improvement?
The reshoot is bad but this is truly awful...sure the final shot is better but the rest of it is awful. The special effects with Kane are laughable
@@acidmack1041 The whole movie is pretty weak minus some special effects shots but overall the final shot is still better than the released ending which is enough. Poltergeist never needed sequels the first was enough and neither 2 or 3 is that great with 2 being alright at best and 3 passable if you're a fan.
@Acid Mack you have to understand that most of those shots come from MGM's original negative, they have no special effects or treatment of any kind and that particular shot of Kane is clearly unfinished, there are sources saying they scrapped Kane being banished by Tangina because they couldn't make it work practically, his face was supposed to crack and light was supposed to shine through it and it would explode, the way they were doing it just looked like a dummy head with lights in it, so they scrapped it.
Sensitivity over showing a frozen Heather
Dreadful movie, no matter what.
Back in the day, you can make a movie out of a freezer, a fan, and flashing lights.
Well you could do it now too. It wouldn't be a good film now, it wasn't a good film then.
Right!
Yeah now ever movie spends $100 million dollars they think that makes up for every other aspect of what would be a good movie, and most of the time the s*** doesn't even look very real.
What an asinine statement. Do you know how hard they worked on this film? The effects with the mirrors wouldn't be attempted by most directors even today. These were all practical effects and nothing was CGI, save for the lightning strike at the end of the film.
Just to clarify this isnt the actual original ending, its the reshot ending mixed with the original one, (the original ending has no sound it was lost years ago) and the music is from Poltergeist II so none of that in the ending.
One thing I don't understand is how did the doctor not see that Heather was in renal failure? It was clear from the chipmunk cheeks that something was not right. I know they had diagnosed her with Crohn's but by her sweet face in this movie, she was definitely a very sick girl.
Simply due to corruption. The hospital she was sent to already had a bad rep for misdiagnosage. Though im sure kayleigh1999 wouldnt tell you that
@@zalz When I was about ten years old, I suffered from a bad case of appendicitis. The first doctor I went to said that it was just stomach cramps and I was sent home. A week goes by and I'm getting sicker and sicker, and my parents decide to get a second opinion. We find out that my appendix had burst inside me and I was immediately rushed to the hospital for surgery. Years later, I find out that the doctor who gave me the bogus diagnosis had a number of his patients die. He went to jail, of course, for malpractice. When I hear about what happened to Heather O'Rourke, I just think of how lucky I am that my parents decided to get that second opinion.
this movies real title: "Carol Anne! Carol Anne, Carol Anne, Carol Anne, Carol Anne,Carol Anne, Carol Anne, Carol Anne,Carol Anne"
Heather most likely could still be alive because the doctors knew something was wrong but didn’t do anything.... she was a wonderful actress so sad she’s gone.
If they diagnosed her with the correct disease she would still be alive, they said the doctors could've easily saved her
What?! 😱Where did you found out this?! 😱
Yes, they thought she had something she didn't so they weren't able to catch the real sickness if they had she would have been saved early and it would have been no problem. Such a shame someone's life can be gone so easily for the simple fact the doctor simply gets the sickness wrong.
She was raped and sodomized by the producer/executives and ruptured her bowels causing the sepsis. . . if the doctors knew what was wrong, my ass
@@staticfrequency2250 That never happened dude that was an urban legend started because some pedos work in Hollywood but pedos work in every industry she got sick from drinking water at a place her parents owned.
RIP Heather your a sweet Angel, & I will never forget you.xx
Thanks. This is the ending I prefer. It honors Heather more.
A much more better ending
i had the luxury of booing Poltergeist 3 in the theater.
(loved 1, ...2 was ok. ...3 not so much. and that has nothing to do with heather's performance.)
No
Who cares not us
@@art23428 tut tut ross
Tangina sounded like a cartoon character when she said she has the power.
He-man 🤣
Rest in piece poor Heather, your memory will on ❤️
I thought the fact that they had Kane continue was just insulting because the actor literally wore a facemask of Julian Beck’s face over his own face but he had none of the charisma and acting skills of the real Julian Beck who had died right after filming of poltergeist 2
Did you know he was only 60??? I could have SWORN he was much older.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 cause he was dying 😞. but then again, everyone looked older back in those days… I’m 48 right now I still look like I’m in my early thirties but if I was 48 back in the 80’s? I could be a golden girl. 🤦🏼♀️. I think part of it is the way they dressed too. Like I just dress in normal clothes and put my hair up in a bun or wear it straight, Becton there was no such thing as a woman in her late 40s with long hair… Usually it was gray and curly very short.. and they always dressed like they were going to a business meeting or big baggy oversized “Grandma” clothes lol
Not sure why they didn’t use this cut. We never actually find out what happened with Scott in the theatrical version. They could have used this one. We also get to see Heather’s face one final time as opposed to a fake body being held by Pat. This ending is much better.
Also why was Kane allowed to go back into the light? The man was a puritanical doomsday preacher who killed an entire congregation of people. He doesn’t deserve a happy ending. The people he killed do. Tangena should be leading them into the light.
According to Wikipedia, the original ending had a different fate for Kane:
"Kane puts his hand on the necklace, but instead of ascending, his face cracks and he explodes. The blast frees everyone, but annihilates Tangina and causes a violent thunderstorm. Patricia, Carol Anne, Donna, Scott and Bruce finally leave the mirror dimension. Carol Anne sees a reflection of smiling Tangina in the mirror who waves at them and sheds a tear."
Not sure if this was ever filmed, but it would have been better than Tangina leading him into the light.
I do like this whole segment more, I guess I am a sucker for the music of Jerry Goldsmith(loved his score to "Poltergeist II: The Other Side" the most, love his theme for Kane). I agree with Luis Perea's comment. Even though the director wanted to reshoot the ending and Heather O'Rourke passed away, he could have had the editor use this ending especially since the movie was dedicated to her.
Wow, a much better ending. Who decided to butcher the end for theatrical release! Especially why cut any footage of Heather O’Rourke. What was wrong with the final scene with her in it, along with the Scott character!? Director Sherman should get a directer’s Cut if only to bring O’Rourke in final shot but the placement of the lightning was much better in original ending. Had sorely lacking punch for the end.
wow! i've never seen this ending before. the ending we got always felt...off. I know part of that has to do w/ the fact that Heather O'Rourke passed away before the ending that was released was filmed. Even the background music in THIS ending adds so much more to what's happening!
The music until the end credits is not from Poltergeist 3 but from Poltergeist 2 by Jerry Goldsmith.
Omg it's so sad that those stupid people who decided to not use this ending in theatre. It makes the movie. It would have been satisfying and a Hit. As it was the movie was sad and bad. Thanks for posting true original ending. A true tribute to Heather orouke aka Carol Anne. Rip.
It would not have been a hit...I was awful...more awful than the reshoot ending
@@acidmack1041 lol you're on a kick aren't you.
What's the main difference in the theatrical ending? They just replaced the last shot of the family sitting down with a shot of them standing up - and then just before the credits showed a lightning strike hitting the building and the Reverend laughing as to say "Just wait for part 4"
The frozen Carol Anne, and there is another ending without the Jerry Goldsmith music and you can see frozen donna which looks awful
They should have kept this original ending instead of the one with Kane's laughter that didn't make any sense why he was heard, unless they had originally opened up for a 4th film, only Heather's death prevented all that.
More like the hollywood elites prevented it
@Mark Guerrero I never understood that either to be honest. They reshot the ending but then they showed lightning striking the building, the sky going black and Kane's laughter being heard...that made no sense, I mean..were they pushing for a 4th?...what's with them?
@@American-Zero they were actually planning a 4th, which wouldn't have made sense anyway because Tangina said once Carol Anne turned 13 she would be of no use to Kane so he would have to find a new victim to lead him into the light
@@BMW9661 Guess the coming of womanhood. No longer an innocent child.
Heather O’Rourke is the best! She is best known for playing Carol-Anne Freeling!!
Zelda Reuben was a hell of an actress and Heather O'Rourke would had had a great career in movies and TV. Poor kid died WAY too young.
Why didnt they use this ending? It explains what happened to Scott who never returned in the edit and it shows the real Heather 🤔
The biggest issue with the two sequels was the addition of the Kane character. The first movie clearly established that the evil entity was “the beast.” That was scarier than some whacked out preacher trying to collect his flock. I just ignore the lame sequels.
I agree. I liked the Kane character, but just wasn't needed or fitting when they already established the "Beast" in the first film as the antagonist. There was no need to introduce Kane as The Beast.
@@MystikWizard I like to tell myself that this is the real ending to Poltergeist 3 that should have been shown. Otherwise why didn't that girl's boyfriend appear with the rest of them? It makes no sense. No wonder this movie failed. What was the director thinking not adding this in?
@@Disneyfan82 Well, I think the whole thing was ludicrous anyway in Poltergeist 3 of her family "sending her away" to keep her safe ... because the Beast didn't find her the last time they moved between the first and second movie, right? If Craig T. Nelson and the others didn't want to do the 3rd film, they should've just ended it at 2.
@@MystikWizard I wonder why they don't let us see him so much... And I wonder why IT'S another actor! 😱😥😭
MasterJediDude It would've made more sense if Henry Kane was The Beast's henchman instead serving as a lure for lost souls into its clutches based on how convincing he was in manipulating people into trapping themselves with him underground (backstory in Poltergeist 2). The Beast sees his skilled verbosity and preaching as a tool to lure Carol Anne back into the realm of the dead. Then you play the ending of the second one out the same way except we see The Beast (Only a bit so that the audience's imagination can fill in the gap) in the background watching as Kane snatches Carol Anne away from her family in The Neitherealm. Then when Steven spears Kane, The Beast pulls Kane back and tries one more time to kidnap Carol Anne until she is saved by the spirit of her grandmother.
You can really notice the change in this one compared to 1 or 2. I suppose this is why you don't let the writer also be the producer and director at the same time.
The change was the corruption in the studio. After the 1st film they figured out they could easily manipulate children and do what they please to them. Im not too sure if it continued after Heather's death. But you can research your own and youll no doubt come across many signs that something dark happened.
@@zalz what do you mean?! 😱
Fun fact: In the original Poltergeist movie they had a Super Bowl 22 poster in the background in the kids room, even though the movie was released in 1982, and Super Bowl 22 didn't take place until 6 years later. Heather O'Rourke fell ill on the same day that Super Bowl 22 actually took place and she died the next morning. Even creepier is that the Super Bowl took place in San Diego, the same place she died.
Holy crap that's creepy as fuck!
I found it a lot weirder that they're treating her like she's still 6 and she's like 12 here! What 12 yo. Wears footie pajamas and plays w speak and Spell?
If only you were here Heather we miss u
Am guessing this footage only exists without sound which is why the audio from the other cut is awkwardly looped in? Nevertheless, this is pretty obviously the superior ending, can’t understand why they needed to film a sh1ttier ending with an obvious double and Scott being basically forgotten about.
Mis ojos están llorando ver este final 🥺😭😭la música 🎶 hace más triste esta escena sigo sin entender por qué esa niña murió y la verdad este final es la mejor con ella mi ángel hermoso heather 🥺
This is my favorite poltergeist😍 it didn't need a mask wearing maniac that old man creeped me out and still to this day he is the scariest of all time😬
Yeah same here, he was the creepiest and scariest ever, it's a shame he died after the 2nd movie, so they had to get another person to play Kane.
This just looks like hideously bad makeup. Why not just find another old man?
Goodbye Carol Ann
Rest In Peace Heather O'Rourke
With the technology we have now, this ending can be cut back into the film. The studio however wouldn't make a huge profit from it, so it will never be done. As a fan of Heather, I'd put it back for her. Movies used to be an art & now it's just about money.
And if MGM were to release what the audience wants they would include this ending or at least include it as an special extra feature; then we would have a choice of ending, and could choose what one we liked best. So why haven't they and why won't they?
Scott was SAVED 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
The moment when she talked to Kane,she sounds like pre record
What do you mean?
It WAS.. Play the ORIGINAL and then the NEW final one and they are the EXACT SAME AUDIO..
I wonder why they cut out the frozen bodies, it's the most effective part of the scene. Makes the rotten bodies creepier and the confrontation morr dramatic. Even removing those parts with Tangina and the final shot, I wondrr why the frozen bodies ended up on the cutting room floor when Kane's lifelike dummy getting decapitated stayed.
they cut it out due to the death of heather
Also because the frozen scott and donna looked awful
28 now & This still creeps me out. But, I clearly snap out of it when I realize the quality of the things used for settings & makup.
Couldn't they at least have kept the last shot in the ending of the original movie?? What was so hard about that??
Especially since the bulk of what we see could have been padded with new scenes that didn't require Carol Anne. If the movie was dedicated to Heather, they should have kept her in the actual ending. Instead, they made it awkward by using a stunt double.
@@MidnightBard I hate to say it, but it could be a money issue, if they showed her face, maybe they would have had to pay the mother of Heather more money, since Heather died, the money she made from Poltergeist 3, would go to her, not sure about that, but just a guess.
@@Mrd9960 they showed her face throughout the whole movie, tyey would not have had to pay more money for having her face in the last 10 seconds of the movie lol
@@acidmack1041 Oh yes, you'd be surprised
OMG!
WHY DID THEY SCRAP THIS ENDING?
IT'S A BILLION TIMES BETTER!
I counted (as best I could) That Carol Ann's name is said more than 260 times in the film-after it ended and I was walking out I joked,"What was that little girl's name"?
You make your own fun with a movie like this.
And why didn't Steve and Diane come after Carol Anne ? No, Steve was to busy being Coach and God knows what happened to Diane . Come to think of it , what happened to Robbie .. WHERE WAS TAYLOR ???
I wonder where they went too! 😱😥😭Ebuzz too😱😥😭💔
Because Jobeth and Craig didn't want to do the 3rd movie and Taylors actor Will Sampson passed away
So sad, Poltergeist 1 was a masterpiece. Poltergeist 2 was merely okay. This film is like some college film project, with a budget of 100 dollars. Those deteriorating plastic mannequins are really supposed to scare us? Strobe lights and bright water pits? Yaawn. And the dialogue... "I have the pooower…"
This was "made for TV" quality - and not in a good way. I appreciate that they committed to only using practical effects live on-set, but it ends up being all set design and flashing lights and smoke, but none of the spectacle that the first two had. The closet was practical in the original, but they set up so many water tanks and mirror shards on strings so it would look alive and organic and then _enhanced_ it with optical effects.
Actually. Truth is all 3 films manifested into corruption through hollywood. Main goal started off as a main focus for a good horror movie, the next two after was heather being manipulated by hollywood elites. There was no autopsy
Im sure they rushed an ending because the poor girl died irl
That was the one of the few parts I really didn't like "I have the poower" in that last scene. But I love Poltergeist 3.
@@bed4480 Its true. The first two were good..but the third was just them throwing crap at the wall to see what stuck. Plus with Heather dying...their hearts were no longer in it and they just wanted to end it already.
5:17 this part got me into a proud moment
I want MGM to release The O'Rourke Cut, even if it's only an hour long, that's the true "Poltergeist III"
This ending should have been used.
So why the change? This ending fits better.
This isn't the actual original ending this is just a fan edit but the original ending's special effects looked awful and the sound is missing.
Ahem... Not to be rude, but I believe you owe me some credit on this upload, considering that this is essentially my work, as it is my re-cut of the ending, combining the theatrical & original ending.
Flowtac Entertainment oh my bad,I was going through Poltergeist 3 footage because I wanted to post the original ending...I didn't realize it was fan made.
I'll delete this video if you want me to...
You don't have to delete it. Just, I ask that you add in your description that this re-cut was put together by myself, and put a link to my version in the description too (since the version I have uploaded is 1080p HD, and I'm sure some people would enjoy having the option for an HD version).
Sorry if I sounded a little prickish. It's just that this re-edit was not an easy feat & a lot of work was put into it. All the audio from the original ending was completely missing, so I had to re-dub it with other sections from the movie, and I also had to color-correct the original ending footage to match with the theatrical ending footage, on top of adding in a Jerry Goldsmith musical score.
Flowtac Entertainment you don't own the film though, both of the videos could be taken down for copyright claims since it isn't your work.
That's not the point I was trying to make. I was merely trying to make sure that someone wasn't trying to take credit for the work that I put into that re-cut. Sorry if that bothers you.
He put a lot of work into this as I am a fan of the FB group he's a part of and to completely discredit him seeing how he ripped both sources, audio and then worked to make both the original ending, BR and some of the Theatrical Cut flow better for fans. He isn't doing it for profit, for the enjoyment of fans, though this doesn't give others to not credit his work seeing how Scream Factory nor any P3 crew ever thought of it as a bonus feature.
That was funny when Tangina popped up from the snow and roasted Cain
😂
Poltergeist 3 was such an unworthy sequel that should never have been made. Poltergeist 2 already had the perfect, epic ending. Steven thrusts Taylor’s spear into the Beast, forcing it to release all the unrestful spirits and banishing it forever. The spirits clung to Carol-Anne as she floated away - into the light. There was a bitter sense of irony the she ended up leading them all there, seemingly lost forever, yet still fulfilling her destiny. But then was then brought back into the arms of her family by her angelic grandmother who had made a promise to be there when they needed her the most. All elevated by Jerry Goldsmith’s beautiful music.
This... was an underwhelming shit show and cash grab attempt. There is no other reason why any screen writer or director would wanna make a sequel to an already bigger, better movie that was obviously intended to end a saga.
Now this should’ve been the ending at least we get to see Heather’s face and see her one last time on screen ik gary didn’t like this ending but honestly nothin was wrong with it and we know where the boyfriend was too lol , rip heather didn’t even live to see 13 forever loved and miss sweetheart 🙏🏿🙏🏿💔💔❤️
I think the original theatrical ending was better and it used the third film's score. Why is this ending using music from the second film? It sounds weird.
Because the score from Poltergeist III is awful, Jerry Goldsmiths score brings the scenes to life to be honest.
@@jameslatrobe But there was nothing wrong with the song that played in the credits of the third film. I liked it alot, gave me Picket Fences vibes.
Most of this ending is awesome except for the strange thing of Kane decomposing after Tangina saying she would lead him into the light. Also seeing Todd and Donna are still alive and ok is nice. I see why they didn't include the frozen Carol Anne scene but that was pretty neat to see that. Really made it scary.
Actually this was a better ending. In the released version Scott is never returned.
Classic terror, classic quality, the best!
Wow! The director denied that this ending ever existed! I wish they would of kept this to show Heather o'rourke's face and have a more happy ending which has Donna's boyfriend Scott which makes a lot more sense. I don't know why the director chose to re film the ending with a stunt double instead of using Heather back in the room.
Beautiful movie.
Why didn't the director like this ending? This was MUCH better than the ending we got. They should have used this ending in the film instead of the changed one.
I mean.... Since the series officially ended here, I can see this ending working but it doesn't feel polished. The one we got in the theatrical release gives a cliffhanger for a possible 4th movie which I wish would have happened. This series could have gone on like Amityville
I the final release why did Kane laugh evilly when he was supposed to be sent away?
Have you seen the remake of the first one?
@@morganyakkofan9052 yes. It was bland and forgettable
The actress playing Carol Anne had already died months before this film was released in theater. That alone killed any chance of there being a 4th film (who would want to see a Poltergeist IV that didn’t include Carol Anne?) so ending this film on a cliffhanger makes no sense
@@YeoYeo32 I didn't need to see her in poltergeist anymore. The series can definitely exist without her.
This was better than the other ending
Why they didn’t keep this ending confuses me. Definitely better. It brings a conclusion to the movie series plus I love the score they use when the family are finally together and safe.
I don’t get it, wasn’t the original ending buried deep down in MGM’s vault?
Yeah but it was found in Seattle in 2016 by Scream Factory.
Why was there NO RIP for her In the credits????? She was the MAIN CHARACTERS of the entire series.. WIthout HER there was nothing.. And there was no mention of her passing????
I figured there would be some mention of her at the end of the movie too, but nothing was ever mentioned of her. So sad.
They put a memory credit to her at the end
I would have loved for this film to have had Jerry Goldsmith's score.
Who did the score for the second and third Poltergeist movies?
@@morganyakkofan9052 Jerry Goldsmith did the first and second. Someone else did the third movie.
@@SimpleWorld08 Okay. I was just curious
Whats wrong with the ending that had to change it. U get to see heather. Confused why the studio says there was 17 pages left.
They should have kept this ending. The other ending was a little disappointing.
Honestly I prefer this ending cause it's even more hilarious than the theatrical ending
They should had kept it this way. It was the last before seeing her in movies before she had passed away it. Very sad that she passed away during the movie still should had it this way instead and It was much better. RIP Heather O'Rourke
I don’t understand why they didn’t use this compare to the original. This is great.
Just to see Heather O'Rourke at the end instead of a double was satisfying. All of them were together and they looked happy. I understand why this film gets a lot of hate and is polarizing but it's more frightening to be in a building as opposed to a neighborhood, in my opinion. Definitely gives it that spooky vibe.
A excepción del salto que se pega cuando Tangina guía a Kane hacia la luz, que resulta demasiado brusco, este final es mucho mejor. Explica más la situación de los personajes y muestra a Heather y no a una doble. Realmente inexplicable lo que hicieron. Realmente un crimen.
Rest In Peace Heather O'Rourke aka Carol Anne 🙏 she would have been 48 today it's kinda sad that she was not able to see this movie when it was released she was only 12. I've watched the 3 poltergeist films even though I don't pay attention to the graphics
I can see why they changed it. Even back then, the special effects wasn't very good compared to the pervious films.
Apparently the original ending script, Carol Anne was supposed to have died in the end, but that was changed after Heather died, it’s why there is so much mystery about the reshoot, this is explained by Heather’s sister Tammy in Fancounters, episode 62
Somewhere out there is the original ending where Carol Anne dies
ruclips.net/video/9E-o5FQYzsY/видео.html
The early script pages or the complete ones literally do not include that, she was likely mistaken by the frozen carol anne which was in the script.
I love the sense it's really perfect I didn't want Scott to die
should have stuck with this ending, would not fix the movies problems, but its a better final scene for Heather than what they ended up doing, where we dont even see her face and the boyfriend is never seen again.
