POLTERGEIST (1982) – Youth Sacrificed to the Beast

21st Century Wire
Following the success of the 1974 extreme shock and awe horror Texas Chainsaw Massacre, director Tobe Hooper was recruited to direct a Spielberg project called Poltergeist that would be as much of a game-changer for the horror genre as Chainsaw. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, however, was an innovation in the genre that pushed the limits of what censors were willing to tolerate.
