Podcasts about Freeling

Our look at the films Industrial Light and Magic worked on in 1982 comes to a close as we look at the horror classic Poltergeist! The film follows the Freeling family whose upwardly mobile middle class existence is thrown for a major loop after their daughter Carol Ann starts talking to “the TV people,” ghosts haunting their home. After Carol Ann disappears, the family enlists the help of paranormal investigators to bring her back to the realm of the living. The film also features legendary behind the scenes tension between director Tobe Hooper and writer/producer Steven Spielberg. Our hosts talk about the story of the film's making before diving into their review. Plus, we react to the recently announced Oscar nominations! Stay tuned to hear about our plans for February. Have any thoughts about our review? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

Had a request for just the static without all of that creepy (see last episode) — so it's just that smooth static without anyone or anything trying to contact the Freeling family. Tune out the world for a moment. Episode cover original photo by Huỳnh Đạt.

Get ready for chills as we revisit a classic that doesn't rely on superhuman slashers or crazed killers but still managed to freeze audiences in fear. "Poltergeist" (1982) tells the story of an ordinary suburban family haunted by supernatural forces that tap into our deepest fears. From a clown doll that springs to life, to a closet that becomes a portal to another dimension, and a tree that breaks through a bedroom window, the terror builds. But nothing is more unsettling than a young girl calmly pressing her hands against a flickering TV screen and announcing: "They're here..." Join Tim Williams, Ben Carpenter, and Bethany Wells as they slide across the kitchen floor, grab a raw steak from the fridge, and dive into why this PG-rated fright fest has haunted HBO viewers since the 80s. Does it still give them the creeps? Tune in to this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast to find out! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: Dr. Lesh states in the movie that the paranormal activity in the Freeling home is likely caused by a poltergeist, rather than a haunting. This is because poltergeists are typically linked to a specific person, while hauntings are associated with a particular location. However, this assessment proves to be incorrect when Steven discovers that the house was built on a cemetery, indicating that the phenomenon is actually a haunting and not a poltergeist. The sound effect for the beast that attacks the house at the end of the movie is the source for the MGM lion roar. Poltergeist's special effects and score were both nominated for Oscars but lost to Spielberg's bigger film, "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial", in both categories.

The Freeling family is living in a cookie cutter community in California, when strange happenings begin to occur. Furniture starts moving on it's own, kids magically get shuffled across the room, trees start to attack children, and eventually the children's bedroom closet swallows up the baby of the family, Carol Anne. As Carol Anne goes missing in the house and the happenings in the house grow clearly more sinister, the family decides to reach out to the fine folks in the Conjuring. These para-psychologists soon learn that this entity haunting the Freeling's is beyond their skillset, so they call in the big-little guns. While the family continues to search for Carol Anne, Tangina, the sweet southern medium wrecking ball, ready to dance with a Poltergeist. The family along with Tangina come up with a plan to pull Carol Anne free from the other side with the power of a mother's love. The family saves Carol Anne, Tangina declares this house is clean, and then we learn….its totally not. The evil entity cast out one last paranormal attack on the family to get the life force of Carol Anne. The Freeling's escape and learn the construction company that designed this neighborhood moved a cemetery before building, only they moved the graves, but they didn't move the bodies. Why?! WHY?! The family escapes and stays at an old school Holiday Inn. Featuring: Erin McCabe, Ryan Lootens, & Jay Hoffman The Front Row Flashbacks - https://linktr.ee/Flashbacks

Is it just us, or is there something comfy-cozy about watching Poltergeist (1982)? OK, maybe it's not even us, it's just Chelsea — but we can all agree at the very least that the Freeling family is one we wouldn't mind being a part of. Only maybe we'll wait until after they move out of their haunted house to join Diane and Steve for an adults only smoke sesh. On a new Spooky Tuesday, we're covering one of the most maybe-cursed movies of all time as we talk about ‘80s era graphics, home decor, and the very talented Tangina.References:https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/poltergeist-at-40https://screenrant.com/poltergeist-behind-scenes-facts/https://movieweb.com/surviving-poltergeist-child-star-reflects-on-behind-the-scenes-stories-40-years-later/https://www.looper.com/417316/bizarre-things-that-happened-on-the-set-of-poltergeist/https://www.oxygen.com/martinis-murder/what-is-the-poltergeist-curse-is-horror-movie-curse-truehttps://www.tampabay.com/archive/1992/03/24/survivors-tell-how-they-cheated-death/

We begin our 7th Scary Movie Month with this 461st Ellises' Analysis. Poltergeist is a slow-burn horror show with an insane finale as Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg throw a bunch of angry ghosts at the loving Freeling family. The movie also has a sense of humour to balance out at least some of the trauma these little children go through. Full marks to the cast. Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, the novice actors playing their kids and the adults playing the bizarro ghost chasers all keep it real amidst all the pandemonium. We also talked about this movie's supposed curse, about who really directed it and about whether or not it's actually scary to 2 middle-aged podcasters. So don't dig a pool in the back yard if there are vengeful dead people down there, but DO toss your television out into the hall and then GO INTO THE LIGHT (of your cell phone) as we hash out Poltergeist.

ne of the best and most influential family-based haunted house movies. Poltergeist still holds up in terms of story and special effects.

Follow him and check out his website. Poltergeist Trailer https://youtu.be/9eZgEKjYJqA Poltergeist can be found places Synopsis From the director that brought you cannibalistic families in Texas, Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist is the story of the Freeling family being tormented by an unseen force in their totally not built over a cemetery house. Just kidding, it’s obviously Spielberg’s film. The Freelings are an aggressively all american family comprised of the father Steve (Craig T. Nelson), mother Dianne (JoBeth Williams), almost non-existent teenage girl Dana (Dominique Dunne), young boy Robbie (Oliver Robins), and the littlest, and most angelic little girl, Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke). Carol Anne starts talking to the TV, and not the wholesome Blues Clues kind of talking, more of the talking to whispers in the static kind of talking.  Weird occurrences start happening, at first to the delight, and then to the horror of that family when it ramps up and the house steals Carol Anne into the netherworld.  A Haggard Steven Freeling recruits paranormal investigators and the worlds tiniest psychic to get Carol Anne back and Exorcise the demons from their house. Poltergeist Poster Review of Poltergeist I am unapologetic in my love for this movie. It really is a template for family-based haunted house horror. It really has something for everyone. It’s accessible enough to general audiences that don’t want to see gore, or be constantly scared out of their gore, but it has enough scares and good special effects to satisfy most horror fanatics. On the scale of Ghostbusters to Exorcist, Poltergeist definitely leans more towards Ghostbusters, but it matches the quality of both in my opinion. This is another example of Spielberg being a master storyteller. There is very little fluff in this finely paced film, but there are a constant stream of little vignettes that add character, humor, or realism to the story.

Practically falling into the laps of Friz Freeling and David DePatie, the Pink Panther was the brainchild of Blake Edwards and gave theatrical short subject cartoons one last grand hurrah before disappearing into the realm of being financially unviable. Cooler than the entire cucumber section of a grocery store on the North Pole, the Panther would wage wits with the Little Man and more often than not made it look easy. Just as easy as revisiting these cartoon classics.

Poltergeist II: The Other Side seeks to give more back story to the events of the first film, why the youngest child in the Freeling family had been wanted by the spirits, and the nature of the cult from which the spirits culminated, headed by Reverend Henry Kane (Julian Beck).  Kane manifests himself in human form in this sequel, tenacious in his pursuit of young Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke), now moved away with her family in the hope they could start a new life for themselves.  Tangina Barron (Zelda Rubinstein), the paranormal investigator from Poltergeist, sends out a Native American shaman (Will Sampson) to help protect the family once she discovers the hidden cave buried in the ground where Kane and his followers died, knowing that the family will not be able to escape Kane's interest no matter where they might go.  Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, and Oliver Robins return.

On this episode of Sounds Like NYC, we sat down with New York City based singer and modern composer Stallion Dunquis. His recording output thus far showcases a handful of genres including R&B/soul, hip-hop, Latin, indie, garage rock, and folk. Stallion has had a lot of experience collaborating with other musicians, both in the city and overseas. With photographer wife Estefanía, Stallion knows what it's like to balance art with a partner. NYC has made Stallion Dunquis be more practical with his art, which is quite the endeavor in itself. As many artists do, he himself struggles with perfectionism as a musician but has had to move past that as he's gone from playing with a full band to solo musician. Stallion debuted his song "Freeling" alongside a cover of "Fly Me to the Moon" at a Sofar Sounds NYC live performance. Stallion lists Jean-Michel Basquiat as a main influence on his attitude towards music. Previously, Stallion's poetry has been published in multiple literary journals in the U.S. and U.K., including The Wire's Dream Magazine, Porridge Magazine, Punch Drunk Press, and BlazeVOX Journal.

FANS: He was Robbie Freeling in Poltergeist (1982) and Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) and few cult films get bigger than this! Yes, the great Oliver Robins joins us to discuss his biggest fears--cue lots of bees, trees and clown talk--the alleged Poltergeist "curse," and working with Sonny Bono in Airplane II: The Sequel (1982). Then we get the exciting scoop about the new horror/black comedy that Oliver wrote, directed and stars in: Celebrity Crush (2019). It hits VOD this month, and you won't want to miss it! FILMS: We get so deep into Poltergeist (1982) that we almost cross over to the other side. This review is NOT clean. Or is it? And will Oliver use his film school background to assign it an unbiased rating on the Cult Filmometer, or will he let his "Freeling feelings" take hold? Is this episode a blessing or a curse? Listen and decide. FINDS: Development news, Hamilton on Disney+, Together Apart with Josh Gad goes Back to the Future, the new docuseries Prop Culture is right up our alley, and we lost Jerry Stiller, Little Richard and Roy Horn. Oh, what a week it's been!

The Freeling family have a new house, but their troubles with supernatural forces don't seem to be over.

100 FOR A HUNDRED!!!! 92. POLTERGEIST (1982, dir. Tobe Hooper) Listen, Poltergeist scared the hell out of me as a kid. Decades later? Still does. A film about hauntings, family, and poor business ethics, Poltergeist is a story of disturbed spirits who'd rather the Freeling family not install a pool where they were laid to rest. Director Tobe Hooper does a phenomenal job establishing the family dynamics before plunging them into madness. The strength of these dynamics are what make the spectral kidnapping of Carol Anne all the more soul crushing. A showcase of great special effects while still relying heavily on acting talent makes Poltergeist Hooper's best work ever.

Talking about all three Poltergeist films but NOT the remake. Poltergeist (1982) A family's home is haunted by a host of demonic ghosts. Poltergeist 2: The Other Side (1986) The Freeling family have a new house, but their troubles with supernatural forces don't seem to be over. Poltergeist 3 (1988) Carol Anne is staying with her aunt in a high-rise building, where the supernatural forces haunting her make their return.

The Freeling family have a new house, but their troubles with supernatural forces don't seem to be over.

The freaky Freeling family is back in this sequel to the smash hit, plagued again by ghosts trapped between dimensions who desperately want the light of that little cutie Carol Anne. Spectacular practical effects ahoy!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/HorrorMovieSurvivalGuide)

We're heeeeeeeeeeere!!! This week, we watched and discussed the “Tobe Hooper” classic film, POLTERGEIST. Poltergeist (1982) dir. Tobe Hooper (Steven Spielberg). Life is very pleasant for the close-knit Freeling family until a host of otherworldly forces invades their peaceful suburban home. It starts with just an odd occurrence or two, but soon their house is turned into a swirling supernatural sideshow. The forces at work are anything but friendly, and if the luckless Freelings don't clear out soon, they'll all be swept off into nightmarish chaos! (source: IMDB)

As part of a Halloween-themed special bonus show, we decided to break down the 1982 ghost classic, Poltergeist, in a five-part series. We open with a discussion over how we chose this film and our earliest memories of the movie. We then start with the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. Once the static comes on the TV, something about it wakes young Carol Anne and she comes downstairs to have a conversation with someone on the other side of the screen. We are then introduced to a day-in-the-life of the Freeling family, culminating with the death of Tweetie, their yellow Canary and an eventual thunderstorm. The storm ends up getting Robbie and Carol Anne in mom and dad's bed. We end this episode as we began, with the playing of the Star Spangled Banner and a return to static. Carol Anne suddenly sits up in bed, interested in what sounds might be coming through the television. This first episode is available free to all followers and subscribers of the regular seasons of The Wilder Ride. The remaining four episodes will only be available to subscribers at our associated Patreon page.  Don't forget to follow us on Twitter, LIKE us on Facebook and then come join our closed Facebook Listener's  Group!

It's episode 113... and clear your minds. It knows what scares you. It has from the very beginning. Don't give it any help, it knows too much already.step into the light! Poltergeist (1982) tells the story of the Freeling family. The Freelings live a peaceful suburban existence, until one day, their daughter is sucked into the walls of the house, and trapped in a netherworld where the only way to contact her is through the TV. What's really going on? And will her family get her back? We talk about the importance of not leaving vulnerable people alone during natural disasters; the benefits of securing a comfortable landing when falling from the ceiling; and we enjoy a tense debate about the ins and outs of tree preservation. All of which leads to one question... How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: STEP INTO THE LIGHT! Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world  

Most of the neighbors in our stories sit next to the action, but on today's episode we learn of a couple that may be the catalyst for all of the horrors the Freeling family experienced. This episode of My Neighbors Are Dead was recorded live at Go Comedy! Improv Theater as a part of The Detroit Improv Festival.

In our first horror episode, Greg sits Lauren down to watch 1982’s Poltergeist. Lauren and Greg try to analyze the psychology of the Freeling family, they also question the bad decision making of everyone involved, explore the mysteries of the Meat Dimension and try to determine the difference between a haunting and a poltergeist.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Why not bring one of the biggest Hollywood stars together with one of the most iconic horror directors of the 1970's. Producer Stephen Spielberg and director Tobe Hooper come together in 1982 with the legendary production, Poltergeist, a new take on the ghost story. The word itself means a rumbling ghost in German and refers to an entity that simply doesn't haunt but instead manifests itself by actually disturbing the items and people within its surroundings. Everything seems great with the Freeling family. They have three beautiful children, Steven Freeling is successful at work, and his wife Diane seems to be the perfect mother. But suddenly their tranquility ends when bizarre happenings occur within the home they live in. Soon one of them goes missing. As they bring in paranormal investigators for help, Steven discovers something about the neighborhood itself that could be causing all the commotion. The film brought to the world the iconic phrase "They're here" and has become known as not only a classic but possibly the very best ghost film of all time. With its great performances by Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, and the three child actors, plus the iconic performances of both Oscar winner Beatrice Straight and Zelda Rubinstein, Poltergeist continues to be associated with iconic film. Now, in 2015, a remake has been made. Can it match the original? Listen to the episode to hear what Dark Discussions thinks. Author Kristi Petersen Schoonover joins the crew to talk about the two films. As always we welcome your comments: darkdiscussions@aol.com (written email or attached mp3 files) WWW.DARKDISCUSSIONS.COM
