I don't think flashy, sparkly, artificial-looking special effects are scary, so I never found POLTERGEIST to be particularly entertaining or effective save for some of the moody early scenes. The finale, with its jack-in-the-box coffins, lights, noise, and other frenetic elements piled one on top of the other, is very unscary to me. I hate to think of what the movie would look like if they'd had CGI to play around with, although a lot of the "haunted house" movies that followed give a pretty good indication.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.
