Poltergeist (1982) Edit

A flower?

A nightmare from which they cannot awake.

A serious investigation of these disturbances...

A serious investigation of these disturbances...

A terrible presence is in there with her.

A thousand beautiful memories.

A window to the next plane.

After all, it's not ancient tribal burial ground.

All 300 acres. It was quite a deal.

All are welcome.

All of this can be your master bedroom suite.

All right. Call to her.

All the answers to all the questions that you ever want to know...

All welcome.

Almost $70 million worth of dwelling and properties.

And away from the spectral light.

And can you tuck yourselves in, please?

And Carol Anne sleepwalks and falls into it before there's any water?

And earthly pleasures...

And get stuck in the house like my sister?

And I fell asleep in the back of this guy's car.

And I'll bring some help.

And it has a running aqueduct connected to a wading pool outside.

And just stay down there?

And me when I was ten.

And memory of love and home...

And pull only when I say so!

And seeing the moon for the first time and throwing rocks at it.

And she couldn't hear me.

And she will only hear her mother's voice.

And she's plannin' all these neat things for you guys to do.

And splash!

And take your daughter away from you.

And then, some people die...

And then...

And they need someone to guide them to it.

And this watch is only a few years old, and it's not yours.

And throw things around, like in my bedroom?

And what are their ages?

And when you walk to it, you become a part of it forever.

And will you do anything I ask, even if it comes contrary...

And your love for the children.

Are also not aware that they have passed on.

Are inside that light.

Are you gonna do anything about this?

Are you telling me that all of this could just suddenly end at any time?

Are you thinking about leaving Cuesta Verde?

Are you with us now?

As bright as the sun...

As far as I know, nobody in my family's ever been affected by 'em.

Ask Dad!

Baby, we're coming!

Baby, where are you?

Baby?

Baby.

Be angry with her, or you'll never see her again.

Be careful, honey!

Be careful.

Be cross with her.

Before, after. Before, after.

Ben! Help! Please help me!

Besides, we've done it before.

Big Ed has me examined for bruises and hickeys.

Breathe!

Breathe. Damn it, breathe!

But can't have anymore.

But hauntings don't usually revolve around living people.

But he's been wonderful. Really wonderful.

But how come Grandpa isn't on television with Carol Anne?

But I didn't see anything go up out of him.

But I never heard anything about it.

But I think our construction standards are really very liberal.

But I'm not goin' up there to find out.

But it doesn't hurt to look into it.

But it was strong enough to punch a hole into this world...

But they don't know that they've gone.

But we don't want to lose the best rep we've ever had...

But you must take my word for it. She's cleaned many houses.

But... I feel good, Steven, I really do.

By someone who can make firsthand observations?

Bye, Mom.

Bye, sweet pea. I'm outta here.

Call me, okay?

Can I have a goldfish now?

Can I take E. Buzz with me when we go?

Can we talk to you?

Can you be reasonably sure...

Can you say hello to Daddy?

Can you say hello to Daddy?

Can you see me?

Can you see Mommy?

Carol Anne is not like those she's with.

Carol Anne must help them cross over...

Carol Anne, I want you to answer me.

Carol Anne, I've told you guys to push your chairs in when you're done.

Carol Anne, it's Mommy. Can you hear me?

Carol Anne, please tell Mommy hello.

Carol Anne, Robbie, run!

Carol Anne, you answer your parents...

Closet light!

Come and get it.

Come and get it.

Come here, honey...

Come here, sweetheart.

Come on down here. You'll give me a whiplash lookin' up at you.

Come on, pumpkin.

Come on, Steve!

Come on. Breathe now.

Come on. Breathe. Yeah. That's it. Breathe.

Come on. Hop up.

Come on. In you go.

Could I visit her and show her how to get back here?

Could you answer the phone for me, please?

Could you answer the phone...

Cross over, children.

Cuesta Verde?

Dad wants us to stay at the Holiday Inn on I 74.

Dad, come on!

Dad, my leg!

Daddy and I miss you so much.

Daddy, it's for you.

Dana would blab, and Robbie would be up for three weeks.

Diane, my wife, and I were wondering, Ben...

Did the earth move for you?

Did you do this?

Did you find her?

Did you see that?

Do you see them?

Do you understand me?

Do you?

Don't ask me why.

Don't even look at it.

Don't give it any help. It knows too much already.

Don't scratch. You're gonna infect 'em.

Don't touch my babies!

Don't worry.

Don't worry. Friends and relatives can visit their loved ones...

Dr. Casey.

Dr. Lesh! It's my handwriting! It came right out of thin air!

Drive away! Daddy, drive away!

E. Buzz, no, no! Get down.

Either I'm dead or I'm crazy.

Every insect in Cuesta Verde?

Except that you can breathe, and you're getting pulled along...

Fantastic.

Feeling unhappy and jealous.

Fight about it later. Steven, make Carol Anne answer you.

Five, one thousand...

Five.

Five.

Five...

For the vehicle to complete the distance.

For when he's hungry.

For when he's lonely.

For when it's nighttime.

Force field.

Forgive me for asking all these questions...

Four...

Freeling, what's goin' on here?

From the real light that has finally come for them.

Furniture movers we got. Strange phenomena, there's no listing.

Gather 'round.

Gently work it through with fingers to saturate every strand.

Get 'em in the water. She's gonna be all right.

Get 'em into the water!

Get away from me! Leave me alone!

Get away from my babies! Get away!

Gimme it.

Give me the tennis ball marked number 1!

Give me your hand!

Give me your hand!

Give me your hand!

Go into the light.

God, help me!

God, I was so embarrassed!

God, I woke up, I started screaming.

Good night, Carol Anne.

Good night, sweetie.

Good night.

Good night.

Gotta be quicker than that.

Has there been any publicity about these events?

Hauntings can go on for years.

Hauntings seem to be connected...

He drove all the way to work before discovering me.

He's coming!

Hello, baby.

Hello, Daddy.

Hello, Mommy.

Hello, sweet pea.

Hello! I can't hear you!

Hello?

Hello?

Help her! Can't you hear what's happening?

Help me tie this around my waist!

Help me, Dad!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help us!

Her bedroom closet.

Her gifts have been documented...

Here we go.

Hey, hello!

Hi, Ben. We got a good football game goin' on here.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, honey.

His soul is invisible, Robbie. You couldn't see it.

Hold me, Dad!

Hold on to yourselves.

Hold on!

Honey, come here, quick!

Honey, could you move the chair out of the way...

Honey, I don't know.

Honey, it's right to the Nautilus machine.

Honey, look.

Honey, you take Dana and Robbie and go and spend tonight in town.

Honey, you're gonna be strong for me and for your daughter.

Honey, you're gonna ruin your eyes. This is not good for you.

Honey, your diving days are over.

How could anyone in the world have a problem...

How do you know?

How long have you been investigating haunted houses?

How many disturbances have you recorded in the room?

How you feelin'?

How's that spot for a bay window?

However hard the light wants them.

Hurry, Dad, hurry!

Hurry.

I am a professional psychologist.

I am addressing the living.

I am coming back.

I am not leaving here without Carol Anne.

I am.

I apologize! My neighbor's on the same remote!

I asked you not to pull the chairs out.

I can do absolutely nothing without your faith in this world...

I can imagine how all of this must look from your side.

I can smell her!

I can't hear her anymore. Honey?

I can't hear you, Mommy.

I can't hear you!

I can't reach you!

I did not. Come on!

I don't care what you're watchin'! Just show some mercy with that thing!

I don't know what hovers over this house...

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't like its arms.

I don't like the tree, Dad.

I don't think I've ever been bitten by one of 'em.

I don't want to lose you now.

I feel a little hungover, like I've been asleep for a few days...

I feel like the protohuman, coming out of the forest primeval...

I felt her.

I get my strongest feelin'...

I got beat up once by three kids.

I got it!

I guess I should warn you that...

I guess I'll call her.

I hate you!

I have this neighbor, and he built his Jacuzzi in his bedroom...

I have this neighbor, and he built his Jacuzzi in his bedroom...

I just don't like trick answers.

I know we should have made you a full partner three years ago.

I know.

I know. How could anybody sleep through a 6.5?

I left her upstairs!

I lived with this freaky thing all day and nothing bad happened.

I looked at him in the hospital bed and I was watching...

I love it.

I love that swing.

I love you.

I love you. I love you.

I mean, Carol Anne last night and all last week.

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

I spend most of my time engaged in this ghostly hobby.

I suppose that would be okay.

I think the storm's gonna pass us.

I think we got one. I think it recorded.

I think you should sit down.

I think you're really gonna enjoy this kitchen.

I think you're right.

I thought you said this Tangina Barrons was an extraordinary clairvoyant.

I understand that she's missed a lot of school.

I want my truck back. Stop!

I want pepperoni pizza.

I was just about to check out the kid's bedroom when... I don't know.

I was trying to answer her with my mind...

I will bet you anything it's genetic.

I will. Believe me, I will.

I wonder if you'd mind if I asked you a question.

I'd like to show you something.

I'll be back early.

I'll show you the den.

I'm absolutely terrified.

I'm afraid of the light, Mommy!

I'm afraid of the light!

I'm goin' in after her!

I'm going to have to display these, you know.

I'm gonna go get something to eat.

I'm leaving Ryan here with you.

I'm not gonna bite you.

I'm not gonna leave anybody in this house alone.

I'm really embarrassed.

I'm sorry, but I had to say something. We were losing blood.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm still weak, Mr. Teague. I've got the flu, I can't get up...

I'm the one who should be embarrassed being here with you nice people.

I'm the wind and you're the feather. Say good night to Mom.

I'm...

I've got to get them! Come on!

I've kept Dana and Robbie out of this, but Carol Anne was here so she knows.

I've looked everywhere. This is crazy.

I've never been bothered by 'em.

I've never sensed anything like it.

If I got killed, would I come back...

If I got killed...

If I should die before I wake...

If that is the way out...

If the kids get sleepy, let 'em sleep 'til I get home.

If you can count higher each time, that means the storm's movin' away.

In '76. Right down there.

In Broxton Memorial Park.

In their spiritual earthbound plane.

Inside the spectral light is salvation...

Instead of a classic haunting.

Iooking at homes cutting into the hillside.

Is everything okay?

Is that our house?

It did.

It gives off its own illumination.

It happens on every job.

It has been usin' her to restrain the others.

It has from the very beginning.

It has that, but in a couple of months you won't be able to distinguish...

It is a light that implies life...

It is only a transition to a different sphere of consciousness.

It is very strong.

It is.

It is. It's her.

It keeps Carol Anne very close to it...

It lies to her.

It looks at me. It knows I live here.

It must've just skimmed us. There wouldn't be a house left if...

It pulls you, and suddenly it's like there's no air...

It rolled seven feet across a linoleum surface.

It says things only a child can understand.

It was featured in last month's issue of Town and Country.

It was here before my company built the neighborhood.

It wasn't quite the same thing for us, Jeff. Huh?

It's a very wise old tree.

It's built half in and half out of his living room.

It's coming.

It's Daddy.

It's electrical. You can smell the charge.

It's fantastic.

It's her!

It's her. I felt her.

It's just... people.

It's like another side of nature, a side that we're not qualified to understand.

It's like there's this tickling...

It's Mommy, sweetheart.

It's my baby.

It's not my mess!

It's nothing like that. Diane and I were just wondering...

It's only five minutes further.

It's pretty nice if you're living up here, but...

It's too hot.

Jesus H. Christ! What are you...?

Jesus, Steve, you look like shit. Aren't you feeling any better?

Just get lost on the way to the light...

Just let me put this on.

Just like in school.

Just look. Just watch.

Just stand right here, okay?

Just take a breath. Breathe.

Just try to use that for the next couple of minutes.

Kiss my ass!

Let me go!

Let me see your tuck position.

Let's go up there.

Let's go.

Let's just do this once.

Let's just do this once.

Like, some kids are nice to you...

Listen to me. Do not go into the light.

Listen, partner, maybe we oughta get some shut eye, okay?

Listen!

Listen! What sort of sound is that?

Look at all of them.

Look at the dog.

Look at this, honey. Before, after.

Look at this!

Look, Mom, Dad! It's a tornado!

Look.

Looks like you got some cable problems here.

Makes me wonder, maybe you've got something going on the side.

Marshall is listed as critical and under intensive care.

Marty won't be coming back.

Maybe the fault line runs directly under our house. Wouldn't that be a scream?

Maybe they didn't want to die.

Maybe they got hit by a truck, and they're upstairs right now.

Maybe they hadn't lived fully yet...

Maybe they weren't ready.

Means that it can receive a lot of noise from many things, like short waves.

Mom, Dad, I can't stay here anymore.

Mom, I'm going to dinner with Janice and Brian.

Mom, there's a big storm headed this way.

Mom, when it rots, can we dig up the bones?

Mommy is waiting for you in the light. I hate you for this.

Mommy, help me, please!

Mommy, that burns.

Mommy, where are you? Where are you?

Mommy!

Mommy! Help me!

More than you! Ask Dad!

Mosquito ever suck on you, son?

Mother didn't cook any dinner.

Move your set.

Mr. Freeling, we'll record any psychotronic energy or event.

My fault.

My God! My baby!

My kids wanna watch Mr. Rogers.

My son, Robert, is eight.

My TV's not on, so if you're havin' problems with your set...

Neither. Steve decides the punishment the children...

Never!

Next time, you'll be able to count to at least four or five. Bet you.

Night, Dad.

Night, lady.

Night.

No licenses to practice.

No more.

No one's goin' in the kitchen 'til I know what's happening.

No, honey, honey, honey.

No, I just read Popular Mechanics. I got hobbies.

No, just us.

No, please. Leave it on.

No, thank you.

No! Go downstairs and wait by Ryan...

No! Let me!

Nobody's complained until now.

Nocturnal somnambulism. You know what?

Nonsense.

Not much room for a pool, is there?

Nothing!

Now clear your minds. It knows what scares you.

Now don't argue with Mommy.

Now he's got pressure. He has a receiver!

Now I lay me down to sleep...

Now just be calm.

Now just look.

Now just stand, okay?

Now reach back into our past when you used to have an open mind.

Now, open the door.

Now...

Number 2!

Of course, no one's been sleeping much.

Of course, this would never register on the naked eye...

Of not letting any get started?

Oh, Carol Anne, thank God! Baby!

Oh, damn it!

Oh, God, I love it when you talk dirty!

Oh, God! I'm sorry!

Oh, honey, no.

Oh, I'm good.

Oh, it's okay.

Oh, my... My God.

Oh, phase one.

Oh, phase one.

Oh, shit, Steve.

Oh, shit, Tweety! Couldn't you have waited for a school day?

Oh, that area with the lived in look.

Oh, what a day.

Oh, yeah. Five minutes. That's no great hardship.

Oh, yeah. I remember that place.

Oh! Help!

Oh. You don't like it?

Okay with whom?

Okay, count. One, two, three.

Okay, here we go.

Okay, lights out.

Okay, Rob. That thing almost killed me.

Okay, rope's ready.

Okay. Night, angel.

Okay. Yeah, right. Okay.

On a day like this?

Once I slept walked four blocks...

One beer stands clear

One, one thousand, two, one thousand, three...

One, one thousand, two, one thousand...

One, one thousand, two, one thousand...

One, one thousand, two, one thousand...

One...

One...

Only when I say.

Open the door!

Open up! Shit!

Or on the side of a bus.

Or they'd lived a long time, but they still wanted more life.

Outer space. Or inner space.

Parapsychology isn't something you master in.

People came running, called the cops.

Perhaps a couple of months.

Phase one from phase three to phase...

Please answer me, baby.

Please answer me.

Please talk to me, bunny.

Please, just say hello.

Poltergeist disturbances have a fairly short duration.

Poltergeists are usually associated with an individual.

Put a flower with him.

Red ribbons, handkerchiefs, tennis balls.

Remember last night when you woke up and said, They're here?

Remember that?

Right in here, and it starts to pull you.

Right now, she's the closest thing to that...

Robbie! Will you come on down out of the tree?

Robbie's sleeping with us now, and Dana spends a lot of time with friends.

Roll it back.

Run to the light, baby.

Seeing all that software in your living room...

Seven hours for what?

She doesn't seem to remember any of it.

She got really excited that you're comin' to stay with her...

She is a living presence...

She thinks it's safe. Who is she more threatened by, you or your husband?

She won't come to you! Let me go!

She's at the mouth of the corridor!

Sleepwalking.

Smell my clothes. She's all over me.

Smell that mimosa.

So much rage. So much betrayal.

So much. We love you so much.

So some people get angry...

So... what side of the rainbow are we working tonight, Dr. Lesh?

Solar disturbances, car ignition sparkings.

Some people believe that when people die...

Some people believe...

Some people...

Somebody help me! Please!

Somebody's coming! Help me, please!

Something they desperately desire...

Something took a bite outta me.

Stop where you are. Turn away from it.

Storm is coming closer.

Sure you can.

Sweet pea, it's Daddy. Come on, honey.

Sweetheart, last night when you said, They're here...

Sweetheart, Tweety can't smell a thing.

Sweetheart?

Sweetheart.

Take up the slack!

Take up the slack!

Talk louder!

Tell her before it's too late.

Tell her if she doesn't answer you, she'll get a spankin'.

Tell her quickly.

Tell her to go to the light.

Tell her to stay away from the light!

Tell her to stop! Tell her not to go into the light!

Tell him to take up the slack gently.

Tell them to take a message, sweet pea.

Thank God.

Thank you. Good night, sweetheart.

Thanks a lot, jerko. I've got class in 20 minutes.

That can be your view. Interested?

That enough?

That goes far beyond the creaking doors or cold spots I've experienced.

That is different from themselves... her life force.

That nobody can put a price tag on.

That was lovely. Lovely, honey.

That when you die, your soul goes to heaven.

That's almost half of everything down there.

That's an old tree. It's been around here a long time.

That's it. Come on.

That's my truck!

That's not fair. I've never laid a hand...

That's right. It was a child's toy, a very small Matchbox vehicle.

That's the last thing we want.

That's the room my son and daughter used to occupy.

That's why I built the house next to it, so it could protect us.

The boys have gotten worried, so I took it upon myself to...

The ceiling got crumbs all over my bed.

The cops took this poor dude downtown.

The determination as to whether your home is haunted is not very easy.

The duration of the event was seven hours.

The floor needs more wax. Steven, you do it.

The grass grows greener on every side.

The house is coming!

The mosquitoes are awful.

The point of origin is in the child's closet upstairs.

The pounding and the flashing...

The screaming, the music.

The swimming pool.

The TV people.

The voice could be coming from a CB transmitter.

The voice on television. Where is it coming from?

Then comb through with a brush and a comb...

Then maybe somewhere in this house there's a way in.

Then somebody could come and get us, and we could live somewhere else.

There are no certificates of graduation...

There is a measurable physical science in this house...

There is no death.

There is peace and serenity in the light.

There was damage. Yeah, the bedroom. There's stuff in pieces all over.

There'll be two more. They travel in pairs.

There's a difference?

There's a wonderful light...

There's Diane, my wife. She's 31.

There's one more thing.

These souls, who for whatever reason are not at rest...

They are attracted to the one thing about her...

They grow up to be... sharks!

They linger in a perpetual dream state...

They must pass through this membrane...

They think they're still alive?

They won't let you in.

They're chowin' down.

They're here.

They're so alone. So alone.

This cameo is over a hundred years old.

This house has many hearts.

This house is clean.

This is our latest development. We call this phase four.

This is probably gonna seem a little strange.

This isn't a hoax!

This isn't over.

This means war, and I mean it!

Those feelings are bad.

Three, one thousand, four, one thousand...

Three, one thousand, four, one thousand...

To be sure entire width of every hair is wet.

To her, it simply is another child.

To the flu or other opportunities.

To us, it is the beast.

To your beliefs as a human being and a Christian?

Tomorrow I'll call somebody.

Try again.

Try not to worry.

Turn it on, Mommy!

Tweety Two and Tweety Three want seconds.

Tweety?

Twist, turn...

Two...

Two...

Uh, 32. I'm sorry.

Uh, Mr. Tuthill, look.

Um, oh, you know, like...

Unless it's a haunting.

Watch TV, watch their friends grow up...

We believe it's the heart of the house.

We can jackknife into the swan.

We don't go in the room anymore.

We had to pass through my neighborhood to get here.

We had to pass through my neighborhood to get here.

We have a saying around here.

We have got much more than the paranormal episode taking place here.

We haven't even gone to the police.

We haven't heard Carol Anne since last night.

We hear better on this channel.

We just want you to find our little girl.

We keep the room locked off from the rest of the house.

We own all the land.

We wanna talk to you.

We were just... What we were wondering...

We were the first family to set up house in the Cuesta Verde Estates.

We were wondering if maybe you had experienced any disturbances lately.

We worked so hard for this.

We'll go to Pizza Hut, okay?

We'll have to look into that. The rest of the block dark too?

We'll just see about that.

We're home, baby. We're home.

We're leaving tonight for sure?

We're listening to the radio. There's nothing on the radio at all.

We're talkin' Olympics, Diane, okay?

We've already made arrangements for relocating the cemetery.

We've been trying to hold ourselves together as a family.

We've had two experiences in the kitchen. This is the den.

We've missed you down at the office.

Well, I'm off.

Well, Mr. Teague, that's a generous offer.

Well...

What about poltergeists?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you saying?

What do you look like?

What do you mean?

What happened?

What have you got screwed in there, a 300 watt bulb?

What I meant to say was...

What if these people have an area of bilocation in their own living room?

What if we dig the pool, you know...

What is it?

What kind of disturbances?

What the hell is this?

What the hell's going on?

What, baby?

What's happening?

What's happening?

What's the matter?

Whatever happened to you?

When Grandpa was dead...

When it's time to relax

When she vanished from sight?

When we called Grandma tonight...

When will we know?

When you dive off, it's like free falling, okay?

When you overreact, it makes what happened much too important.

When you see the lightning...

Where are they coming from?

Where are you?

Where do you live, Mr. Freeling?

Where do you live, Mr. Freeling?

Where exactly do you suppose Carol Anne was playing...

Where friends are waiting to guide them to new destinies.

Where was Carol Anne playing when she disappeared?

Where was the last incident of bilocation?

Which makes me the most irresponsible woman of my age that I know.

Who are all those people?

Who, for instance? I already looked in the Yellow Pages.

Whomever might complain.

Why is this door locked, Mr. Freeling?

Why?

With an area, a house, usually.

Won't you please

Would you all come on in?

Would your family welcome...

Y'all mind hangin' back?

Yeah, we are.

Yeah, we've all got the same thing.

Yeah. The cable's been off for a couple of weeks.

Yes, I promise. Please!

Yes, it could.

Yes, Ryan photographed an extraordinary episode on a case in Redlands.

Yes, we will.

Yes. I believe that too.

Yes. It recorded.

You afraid of burglars, or are you trying to attract...

You and Carol Anne and Dana and your mom and me.

You are so obnoxious! You drive me nuts!

You bastards! She's just a baby!

You better cut a bouquet and take it with you. We're not stayin'.

You can't choose between life and death when dealin' with what is in between.
