Now This Is A TRUE Horror Movie.. * Poltergeist* 

Man you gotta understand this nightmare fuel was rated PG…which means my parents thought it was cool for 10-year-old me to watch on HBO. My generation had nightmares for months.

Rest in Peace, Dominque Dunn and Heather O'Rourke. Dominique Dunn played the oldest daughter Dana and Heather O'Rourke played Carol Anne. Dominique Dunn's life ended at age 22 because her boyfriend strangled her. Heather O'Rourke passed away due to being misdiagnosed. She died from septic shock at age 12.

I understand the question of "why don't they close the curtains so he can't see the scary tree." I was exactly like this little boy when I was his age and the thing is, seeing it is scary, but NOT seeing it is somehow worse.

Poltergeist, IT, John Wayne Gacy.... THIS IS WHY GEN X DON'T PLAY WITH CLOWNS.

The parents are THE BEST. Pot-smoking, silly people, still in love with each other and who genuinely care for their kids. I also love JoBeth Williams, how she gets a little excited when she jumps up and down, moves in the kitchen when she realized that her husband was seeing what she was seeing. Also, fun little fact with the actress JoBeth Williams. The skeletons in the pool with her were real skeletons. She didn't find this out until after the filming. Basically, there's something so indescribable about the film and how it blends horror, humor, a sense of magical discovery with at the time a very unusual take with a more "realistic" take on ghost hunting. So damn good.

Mama was the MVP! The way they filmed the hallway scene running to save her babies is incredible.

I LOVE that you're reacting to horror ANYTIME. I love when channels do lots of horror during October but on the same hand I hate when that's the only time they give attention to horror. I feel like it should be part of the lineup all year round alongside all other genres. We enjoy the variety and horror reactions can sometimes be the most fun to watch!

Not sure if anyone has told you this but that Star Spangled Banner song then the snowy screen happened EVERY NIGHT. That was part of life. Once it went snowy, your TV time was over, period.

Literally everything aboot this movie is great, it still holds up as one of the greatest supernatural movies of all time!

Yep, when the television networks went off the air at midnight.

For the kitchen chair swap gag, this was a great practical effect. As Tobe Hooper described, it took exactly 4.0 seconds for the crew to swap those out. crew members were hiding under the counter and on the left side of the camera. As soon as Diane moved out of framed, they went into action. If you watch the scene again, you see a reflection of the crew in the corner of the toaster and someone bumps into the plant in the corner.

The pool scene had REAL CORPSES.... please understand you won't see that today, but REAL dead people just showed up to be iconic actors in a great movie and they never knew.

That kitchen scene with the steak and the bathroom scene with the melting face scarred me for years!

Rated PG movies hit harder in the 80s.

Poltergeist will always be a classic when it comes to horror movies. It's easily one of my favorites

now imagine watching this when you were 9 when it was a new release. That face peeling scene is still with me today. The 80's did not fuck about

Putting the TV outside was classic!

This is back when the PG rating actually meant that parental guidance was necessary.

When the guy pulls his face apart, that's not the actor, it's Steven Spielberg. The prosthetic used for the effect was expensive and they needed to do this in one take. The actor was so afraid he'd mess it up somehow, so Spielberg did it for him.

Stranger Things season 1 owes a huge debt to this film, which they specifically mentioned in the first episode: a child is abducted into some parallel dimension, but can still contact his mother using household technology. She eventually goes into a portal to the other side and brings him back.

The guy on the bike with beer is Dirk Blocker, aka Hitchcock from Brooklyn 99, the son of Dan Blocker aka Hoss Cartwright from Bonanza.

"Theyre herrreee!" This was the movie!

Spielberg (who co-wrote this,) had a similarly frightening tree as he was growing up, so naturally, he had to put this in the film.

My Irish Grandmother taught me that when you count between the lightening & the thunder, that's how many miles the storm is from you.

Love this movie. Love your reactions thank you for the entertainment. To me this is one of the most realistic I know it’s weird to say in a movie like this one of the most realistic families ever on film seemed like they knew each other were normal and they loved each other. And I think you’ll understand this Mr. video. I have said for 30 years. This is one of the most honest portrayals of marijuana use. A happy, healthy, affluent, successful, amazing family and Yep they smoke weed. No drinking except when things got really dark. But day-to-day they smoke weed and they are an amazing successful, healthy family. I love it and this is 1982.

you really can count to see how close or far away a storm is. My grandma taught me that trick when I was little. They say this is one of those cursed films. Lot of crazy stuff happened on set and to some of the actors

This is scary. They use real skeletons in the dirty water.

You’ve GOT to watch part 2 next, it still creeps me out to this day

Ayyyy more horror movies! Mr. Video bringing that heat as usual 🔥

Dogs DO KNOW. Our dogs took some time getting used to the spirits in our house. At first theyd follow them around and get spooked when touched by them. One time the bigger dog actually jumped up from a dead sleep and jumped down from the chair and then just stared at the fuckin chair. They are used to it now and actually that dog likes to lay out in the hallway at night now. He lays on his back so Im pretty sure he gets ghost belly rubs throughout the night. Not joking either…

This was one of the movies that started my love of horror as a child. Still one of my favorites. 👻

The lightning/thunder counting thing works. When I had kids I used it all the time 😊

The look on his face when he said, "The little girl's in the TV?" Lol, that is how we all felt when we watched this movie for the first time in the 1980s!

Made the brilliant decision to watch Poltergeist when I was 9, by myself, in a thunderstorm. Ain't never found another movie scary.

One of my favourite childhood films lol. Poltergeist 2 is well worth a watch as well, one of the creepiest villains ever

Dude, imagine being in the 2nd grade, getting out of bed in the middle of the night and sneaking down into the living room to watch this with your 4th grade older brother when it first premiered on HBO

This movie was cursed. So many bad things happened on set. Then afterward the actress that plays Carl Anne died from some crazy intestinal issue. Septic shock and cardiac arrest. The actress that plays the older sister thats absent throughout the main part of the movie and shows up at thend….She was murdered by her boyfriend right after making the movie.

References from Scary Movie, my favorite was from The Legwnd of Hell House

Leo, I'm gonna be real with you... this movie scared the crap out of me as a kid. It didn't help that my Grandma had this and Aladdin recorded on the same VHS tape. Every time Aladdin ended I hurried up and rewinded it before the movie started like my life depended on it.

29:47 seen. This movie 100 times and still agreed with miss lady ma'am with the glasses and ol kid voice to to go get my baby from the tv ppl.... And she the only one making any sense of this.... 🤔🤔🤔

The woman playing the oldest daughter was killed by her boyfriend.

I love the parents in this film, they just feel so real and down to earth.

This movie is a great classic flick, but please don't waste your time with the sequels!

Classic, brought to you by the director of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Salem's Lot (1977), which you should Also watch. The Dad would also eventually voice Mr Incredible.

There's an Ace Ventura reference but Ace V got it from this movie. "This house is clear". Lol

BTW, there were REAL dead bodies in the pool with her. (And in the sequel too.) First time I watched this movie was in the early 90s in my unfinished basement on a beta vcr. It was an experience.

Will...will be back stranger things yall. 😊soon....

Scary Movie also referenced the clown pulling the boy under the bed. In Scary Movie it pulls 1 of the Wayne brothers under the bed but he had a surprise for the clown lol

You only moved the Headstones!

This film was cursed! That poor little girl (Heather O’rourke)died of a bowel obstruction age 12. The oldest sister (Dominique Dunne) was murdered by her ex who only served 3 yrs for strangling her to death because she refused to get back together with him. They allegedly used real skeletons in the pool scene because it was cheaper to get a real one than buy them or have props make them. A guy who played a preacher in the second movie(Julian Beck) died of stomach cancer after they wrapped. As did the actor who played the shaman (Will Sampson) whilst having a heart and lung transplant, he was a Native American who was also an actual medicine man and he did an authentic exorcism on the set. I don’t really but into superstition, that being said I can say with some confidence it didn’t seem that the people who were in these movies seemed to have the best luck.

Watching your reaction to the jumps was priceless!!!!

6:15: “I’d be scared to be this little girl’s pet…she’s taking them out!” 7:40: “We’ve got our eye on you. We ain’t going out like Tweety.” 😂

OMG, one of my favorite movies. First saw it not long after it came out in theaters only I saw it in a hotel room at the Hilton in Waikiki in Hawaii. The hotel with the Rainbow on the side. I was about 10 or 11. My parents went out for the night. I ordered the movie after they left. Funny thing is we lived on the island but often took vacations in Waikiki or island hopped as it was cheaper than traveling to the mainland or flying someplace further. The Hilton is actually a complex of hotels and they have ponds that connect them and come into the lobbies. They had a pair of swans. These swans loved me for some reason and followed me everywhere for a few days and were very friendly. I got so scared not even halfway through the movie I went to the lobby, called the swans and they followed me onto the elevator and to my room. Then I watched the movie- I called them Fred & Ethel, and ordered room service with the birds in my parents bed 😂. They were so shocked when they got home that night 😲. My dad ended up laughing and then made me take the birds back downstairs to the pond. I loved those birds. I always think of that when I see this movie. Both of my parents are gone now 😢.

LEO IM AT 3937 of the vid... Scary movie parody 10 .... 15.... Movies in ONE OF THEIRS...... THATS WHY WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED THEY WERE SOOOO COMEDIC AND CONTROVERSIAL..... YOU NEED TO REASEARCH EACH MOVIE SEPERATLEY AND EACH ONE HAS LIKE 10 OR 15

"Turn the tv off. Let's start there." - Leo The Prophet.

Hi Mr V, 3 nights in a row. Spoiling us. Love horrors. So looking forward to this. Big hugs for Bella and love to you and your family ❤

Hilariously daft parents, especially the mom. Why she laughs at what's going around? Is she okay even? And yes I judge hard people who smoke, drink, all that jazz. Can't stand parents' relationship. And the eldest daughtet contorting her face too much when her sis disappeared inside TV, never understood her OTT acting. Lil bro is alright. My favorite here is the nice powerful lady who came to the rescue. That other lady with British accent is clueless, as is the crew that came with her, doing funny scared expressions, haha. My favorite Tobe Hooper movie is definitely "Eaten Alive" starring young, the great Robert Englund as one of the people eaten by an alligator.

I'd just like to take a moment to say rest in peace to the actor of this film who most recently passed away, James Karen, who played the father's boss in this film. He was also in an amazing horror comedy from 1985 called The Return of The Living Dead.

The bodies that were used in the last scene were real and the actors didn't know it until after.

Leo, what you said at the end is totally relatable. I was one of those kids trying to see skinemax through the static 🤣

There's a little bit of wordplay in the scene where they're fighting over which parent the kids are more threatened by. The dad's so reluctant to be seen as the "threatening" one that he warns Carol Ann if she doesn't answer him she's gonna get a real spanking. He could have stopped there, but he had to add, "from the BOTH of us,"

LMAO I Remember watching this for the first time since childhood in my late 30s and was bkown away i never realised the parents were blazin. That poor wee girl had Chrones and died after the third movie at a young age from an impacted bowl and sepsis. 😢

Poltergeist is the greatest Steven Spielberg film that was never directed by Spielberg. Also, this horror film is a classic that'll live forever. Great reaction Leo! 👍🏿

In Scary Movie 2, they spoof the tree attack scene too. the stoner Wayans bother had a marijuana plant in a flowerpot by the window. The plant grows huge, then grabs him, rolls him up into a blunt in his bedsheet, and stats smoking him.

Ah man son not a poltergeist.... what's a poltergeist?

You my boy Leo!!!! Been watchin since it was you in front of the TV. You ever need to crash in Indiana,. Lemme know.

Love seeing when you do 80s reactions especially horror^_^Transformers 86 reaction is my favorite

Please bless your homes before purchasing know the land its on and at least 100 years of what that land was on before that.... Pleeeeease😂😂

Speaking of "Inner Space" I very funny movie, Leo! Check it out!

This movie came out when I was 11. It scared me but it was so much fun! I loved it then and still do. And the lightning distance counting thing is a real thing. Since lighting is the source of thunder, it makes complete sense.

One thing that always slides by reactors is that the mom character is 31 years old and they have a 16-year-old daughter, which means dad knocked her up when she was 14 or 15.

You get more handsome every time I watch your channel. Great Job

One of my favorite childhood movies!!

This Halloween you have to watch the excorcist that is the scariest movie I've seen its amazing!

Half of my top 10 scariest horror movies happen to be ones I saw when I was a kid growing up in the 70s, and early 80s. "The Exorcist", "Poltergeist", "The Omen", "The Shining", and "The Changeling" (1980). If you haven't seen "The Changeling" yet... DO IT.

Thunder is the sound of lightning and counting gives you an idea of how far away the lightning by timing how long the sound of the thunder takes to get to you. So if you can count longer it's further away. Idk who told me that first but we always did that as kids.

This is my rainy, stormy day go to movie. Scared me to death when I saw it way back in the early 80's. I was only about 6 years old 😅. It didn't help that I don't like clowns either.

what's really sad is that the little blonde girl in the movie died at the age of 12 years old in real life. And the teenage brunette who plays her sister was murdered not long after shooting this movie

what's next? Poltergeist II The Other Side :)

I don’t know if you knew but the dad is the voice of Mr Incredible

Classsssssiiiccc ❤ that damn clown every time! 😂

Poltergeist 2 is actually very good and gives a good backstory.

Being 53 loved and still do this movie and so enjoy see the vintage Star Wars toys in it.

I saw this movie waaayyy too young. Guess parents were more lenient in the 80's, at least mine were.

37:16...... Now, that he mentioned it, Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight is another must watch 💯😁

This was scary but Part 2 is even scarier because you get to see the thing that was on the other side with the little girl.

Coolest parents or people in Spielberg movies always power up on the ganja : D

You've got to watch the rest of them! I think there's 3 total!😁

I’m gonna throw out a suggestion, Big Trouble in Little China. That was thrilling and terrifying for a little girl in the 80s! Plus it has mortal combat origins. Or Demolition Man.

Part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is in his holy temple 😊

Poltergeist II is just as good, but III is a miss, IMHO.

Man! I ain't seen you in a minute! Glad to see you in my feed again!

Leo, you need to watch Evil Dead 2.... do not watch part 1, it was so bad that part 2 is just a remake but it's great!!!

The second one is my FAVORITE ❤❤❤

I thought I'd seen all of this movie, turns out I'd only seen the TV broadcast version, when I was watching a Patreon FULL LENGTH reaction a couple years ago that scene happened with that guy pulling his face off.... man I didn't think a gore scene could still scare me in my 30s anymore, but IT DID!

You still have part 2 of the conjuring and insidious

Great reaction i gotta react to this movie one day.. but when you gunna continue the rocky series you still got rocky balboa then creed 1 and creed 2

Even if your a Eagles fan I enjoy your content 😂

George lucas and Stephen Spielberg always pay Homage to each other Did you see the star wars sheets And the darth vader And tie fighter in the boy's room

If something like this is ever happening in your house just remember it's there because it's rejected by both dark and light and it is stuck here and it is nobody's friend
