CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Curt Holman Recommends: “They’re heeere!” TCM Big Screen Classics presents a 40th anniversary screening of 1982’s classic haunted house story. Directed by horror specialist Tobe Hooper while in line with producer Steven Spielberg’s sleek suburban vision, this superbly blends satirical humor with extremely effective scares. Starring Jobeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson and a scene-stealing Zelda Rubinstein. — CH
From the venue:
“They’re here!” A typical family in a quiet suburb of a normal California faces a frightening ordeal when its home is invaded by a Poltergeist. Late one night, 10-year-old Carol Anne Freeling (Heather O’Rourke) hears a voice coming from inside the television set ... At first, the spirits that invade the Freelings’ home seem like playful children. But then they turn angry. And when Carol Anne is pulled from this world into another, Steve and Diane Freeling (Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams) turn to an exorcist (Zelda Rubinstein) in this horror classic from director Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre films) and producer and screenwriter Steven Spielberg.
