The Big Picture Horror, more than any other film genre, goes through trends that shake up everything you see. In the 1970s, thanks to the likes of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Black Christmas, and Halloween, slashers led the way, leading to Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street and their countless clones dominating the '80s. After a dead period, slashers returned with Scream and a plethora of movies just like it. By the early 2000s, the slasher boom had dried up.
Then there's Poltergeist. Produced by Steven Spielberg, and directed by Tobe Hooper, the same man behind the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, 1982's Poltergeist was a ghost story, but one that went deeper, with a little girl sucked into her TV and a family who must rescue her. It may have been rated PG, but it was scary as hell, even without that ungodly clown scene.
The Jump Scares in the 'Poltergeist' Remake Are Cheap and Pointless Close The most egregious part of Poltergeist isn't how empty it feels, like a movie that exists just because a studio wanted to make a few bucks, but the insane amount of jump scares in the film.
