Gary Sherman is a great director and his original vision was destroyed due to the death of Heather O Rourke. It was MGM who forced him to finish the film. He didn't want to, but did a comendable job and highly worth watching. No one else could've done a better job on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-75169229274526068062008-12-20T22:50:00.000-05:002008-12-20T22:50:00.000-05:00"the continuing adventures of carl anne, part 2"He..."the continuing adventures of carl anne, part 2"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Head towards the light, Carl...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-40516991416677462642008-12-06T20:42:00.000-05:002008-12-06T20:42:00.000-05:00I'm pretty sure they did make an awkward perfuncto...I'm pretty sure they did make an awkward perfunctory reference to Dana and then got on with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-60380964575169026022008-12-06T19:31:00.000-05:002008-12-06T19:31:00.000-05:00New drinking game:Down a shot everytime someone sa...New drinking game:Down a shot everytime someone says "Carol Anne" in Poltergeist III...gonna have to try this once I fall off the wagon again.beedubelhuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720433057993434047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-50615885666324792122008-12-06T13:10:00.000-05:002008-12-06T13:10:00.000-05:00Lara Flynn Boyle seems to be pretty good at playin...Lara Flynn Boyle seems to be pretty good at playing Donnas.

I can never get enough Poltergeist 3. What a deranged, beautiful mess! I love that you mentioned all the times the name "Carol Ann" is said in the movie. It IS absolutely crazy making. I thought you might enjoy this hilarious short video that exploits that idea to the fullest:<BR/><BR/>http://www.cinefilevideo.com/2007/01/26/who-dammit-who/<BR/><BR/>-Unk Lkindertraumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176839856388835793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-65993694593046401232008-12-05T11:02:00.000-05:002008-12-05T11:02:00.000-05:00Another "PIII" fan pointed this out to me this yea...Another "PIII" fan pointed this out to me this year: at one point Carl Anne mentions she was born in the house depicted in "PII," did anyone involved in the movie even see the original?<BR/><BR/>The ending is so much fun for what a mess it is.

I seem to recall the mirros, some kind of super-skeptical psychologist jerk-off messing with Carol Anne's head, and a horribly obnoxious little girl with coke-bottle glasses.
