I begged to see Poltergeist when it came out in 1982, I was 11. One of my main arguments was that it was only rated PG, ET came out the same year and it was rated PG; the PG-13 rating didn't exist yet.

I did not sleep in my room for 3 months after that and when I finally was able to go back all my stuffed animals had to be out of the room.

I have never found another movie again that scared me so much and I have seen more horror movies than I could count.

I also watched that movie when I was too young for it. Man that tree was nuts.

I had a nightmare about that tree. Made this scene from Family Guy many years later cathartic.

Watch scary movie 2 and all will be forgiven

I upvoted but truly dislike your comment--I had forgotten about the tree. (I too watched at too young of an age.)

Holy shit! I was the same exact age! Yeah, didn't sleep for weeks.

Wife and I just watched it Sunday. She wasn't impressed.

I had my wife watch it too and she did not get why it was so scary. It was very disappointing. 😂

For me it was the multi-legged gargantuan monster at the top of the stairs, and something in the way the psychic described "the beast" that really struck terror in my poor preteen heart.

Oh and the guy ripping his own face off in the mirror! 😱
