Based on a Story by Steven Spielberg with a Screenplay by Steven Spielberg, Michael Grais & Mark Victor. From the imageless eye of the tv set, from the flickering snowy light, it calls to Carol Anne, six years old and innocent. From beyond the world of the living, it reaches out in unholy anger, ripping her from the arms of her family into the thrall of the Poltergeist.
