1->''"When I read the book I remembered that children's stories are, indeed, where true horror lives.

23->''"This movie is a goddamn torrent of traumatizing, horrifying images designed to scare the literal shit out of you when you're ten. (...) ''Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}'' originally was, according to the MPAA's official website, rated R; however, director Tobe Hooper and producer Creator/StevenSpielberg were able to get the movie a PG. On appeal. That basically means that they visited the MPAA's office, held out their hands, and said, “Awww, c'mon!” and the film got a PG rating with no additional cuts or alterations. Millions of children everywhere were later scarred for life. Thanks, guys! I would forward my extensive therapy bills to Spielberg's office if I weren't sure I'd be greeted with a punch in the nuts and a Cease and Desist letter from his attorneys."''
