Some things have to be believed to be seen. |
| My kreepy fanatics of dismay: tonight we open the vaults to sip a vintage thriller from the summer of 1982: Tobe Hooper's horror banquet Poltergeist starring Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams and the late Heather O'Rourke as the beautiful Carol Anne. A delicious jolt from beginning to end, this Steven Spielberg produced horror film was another blockbuster that scared the bejesus out of everyone. We just didn't see it coming. It was such a successful scare that it spawned two sequels that really depart from the original recipe so avoid them if you care. Rent or buy the first however. But remember, my horror connoisseurs Poltergeist has shards of glass within the feast, so be careful where you bite. Bon Appétit! THEY'RE HERE! In my chair thus buried deep While all about me kinfolk sleep Our television bid adieu Embarked upon a queer voodoo I heard within my dreamy state The patriotic song sedate Followed then by static high Called t'Carol Anne, goodbye Tiny feet with teeny toes Daughter dear from bed arose Creeping down the stairs t'see Something in ye ole TV It coddled her It cuddled her Excited n' delighted her T'which they gave her such a sneer As Carol Anne doth chime, "They're here!" Then before the sun arose Did suck her in from head t'toe Next as if t'say beware Left a stench within the air O'my, our baby disappeared Whilst horrid poltergeist premiered A horror show of wicked things: Atmospheric lightnings Smashing, banging, biting too Bleeding wells of human stew Every day into the night Scare t'scare n' fright t'fright Unrelenting as they played Our little one fore'er betrayed We had finally had enough! Arrived t'us a wee sheriff A mighty woman t'undue All their hooey n' hoodoo Tangina knew right from the start Said, "The house had many hearts." With rope n' prayers n' her bewares Diane and I we climbed the stairs T'face the demon without dread Bring our daughter back instead In the dark of darkest night Tangina screamed, "walk toward the light" Thus doing what she had t'do Carol Anne returned anew Hugs and kisses, horror tamed "This house is clean," our star proclaimed But our story doesn't end Happy endings must amend For come dusk when all was still, How we got an awful chill Once again while we snoozed Devils danced and evil oozed Came looking for their just reward O' haunted house above graveyard Poltergeist pushed through a tear Our fair-haired child sighs, "They're here." |
