Poltergeist: Hollywood's Most Cursed Film Ft. Michael McManus
Rewind. Sandy and Terry discuss *Poltergeist*, one of America's most beloved horror films, which may indeed be the most cursed film in Hollywood history.
Released by MGM on June 4, 1982, and written by Steven Spielberg, Michael Grais, and Mark Victor, *Poltergeist* is rumored to be cursed because real human skeletons were used in a pivotal scene. This curse is believed to have led to the tragic deaths of three individuals in brutal and devastating circumstances.
We'll also talk to writer and actor Michael McManus, who played Ben Tuthill, the neighbor next door, to get the real story of what happened.
