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.
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. 😂
