you know.. poltergeist is absolutely wonderful in surround sound :)... i also can't believe it's only PG... i would think it should be PG-13... yea it's not that bad... but some of the stuff makes it a little more than PG in my opinion

Ever notice that the music in Poltergeist is very similar to that of Alien?

Really? I just got a surround sound system not too long ago. Perhaps I should pick up a copy of that old film and watch it again. As far as it being PG, I agree with you. But I don't believe that PG-13 was an existant rating when Poltergeist was released. I could be wrong. But the face-ripping scene is pretty gory, and the scene where mom and dad are enjoying a before-bed joint wouldn't fly nowadays with a PG rating.

It was on a Friday night horror movie showcase called Sammy Terry here in central Indiana. It was in the early 70's and the show was called "Strait Jacket" with Joan Crawford. Now I'm showing my age!

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.
