In regards to the PG-13 rating ... here's a quote from the MPAA website:
"On July 1, 1984, we made another adjustment. We split the PG category into two groupings, PG and PG-13. PG-13 meant a higher level of intensity than was to be found in a film rated PG."
So, apparently, Poltergeist came out before the PG-13 rating was conceived. May explain the strange PG rating on it.
