My husband and I went to school with Heather. She was very kind hearted, and very sweet to all of us. The day she passed hit us all like a ton of bricks. We all miss her.

I was born in '73 and I remember the young actresses when she also played a character in "Happy Days" . Plus, I remember when homes were being built to mirror each other....the 1980s were a great decade for movies, music, and there locations. How things have changed.

I love this movie. My husband's family has a huge tie to this movie. The Atlas truck in the moving scene was my father in laws truck. We have pictures of my husband as a child running around on the set and his dad with the crew. It's such a wonderful memory for him to watch this movie. His father is gone now and I know he treasures these movies and the memories. Thank you for covering this movie and Heather's life along with it. She was definately a great little actress for the short amount of time she had on this planet. Cheers🥂💜❤🌈🍭🦄🌸

The narrator's, voice is fantastic _ I miss old movie trailers like this one.

Being an eighties kid, I grew up with this movie, and whenever I see it - and the sequel - it transports me right back to those days of the mid eighties . My friend and I could rent any horror film we wanted from the local video store and we were only nine or ten. And we rented a ton of them. Those were the days ! And getting into room 209, that's dedication to the cause !

My mom was born the same year this movie came out. Its crazy how time passes by, and how nostalgic this movie is. Thanks for going to the locations, it really shows how time goes by fast. May Heather and Dominique rest in peace

One of my favourite films since being a child I know every single line it's so hard to believe it's nearly 41 years old poor Heather and Dominque rest in peace beautiful girls 💖💖💔🙏

Dude, I'm Brazilian. Nowadays I live in Rio de Janeiro, but I was born and raised in a small town in the North of Brazil called Belém. All these iconic films are part of my childhood, and I have a lot of these curiosities: where they were filmed, what the locations are like nowadays, etc. That's why I've been crazy since I found your channel.
I want to congratulate your work and thank you very much. Thank you and congratulations here from Brazil!

If I remember right it was Dirk Blocker who was the man on the bike in the beginning of the movie carrying the beer. His father was Dan Blocker who played Hoss Cartwright on Bonanza.

This movie's music is so powerful. Instantly brings me back to my childhood.

This one hits hard. Poltergeist is one of my fave horrors. Heather was such a very talented young actress and the fact she passed at such a young age is just so upsetting. She had a great future in front of her.

I heard about this film in 1984, I knew it would be important to me for the rest of my life, today I am 50 years old and yes, the film is still a portrait of my time and it is very important to me

[horrorgreenbook]

Everytime I see one of the Poltergeist films I think of how if Heather was still here maybe she'd do conventions from time to time. She'd definitely be a con favorite that would have appreciated and loved to see her fans from all over.

In all of these documentaries I’ve watched from Grimmlife which is all of them, I realized I am so glued into this that it’s better than Netflix, I say this with no sarcasm or BS, they 100% should have a Netflix documentary about how they started, filming locations, strange experiences, which we all picked up while watching the videos, oh how I wish that could happen, truly fascinating and his commentary is the BEST! Ty so much for doing this!

[craigayling]

This film scared the life out of me as a child but still remains one of my favourite horror movies decades later. Thank you for an amazing trip down memory lane and seeing some of the films iconic locations 😁🙏

I think the Freelings are immortally cemented in the brains & hearts of every 80s kid. One of the rare movies that no matter what color you are, socioeconomic background (etc), that cast & this story just connected on another level. A horror movie with heart. This location isn't that far from where they shot E.T. too, right?

[anettie]

This is the first real horror movie I saw as a kid. It scared the daylights out of me. Still can't sleep with the closet door open. Now as an adult, it's still one of the best horror movies! Definitely a classic. Thank you for covering this.

Born in 82, and when I saw this movie, I fell in love with it. The Ontario Airport hotel is down the street from where I work. It's so cool that a part of the movie was filmed there. I never knew that. Keep up the amazing videos, my friend.

[prayharper]

This is my new favorite youtube channel, I've been searching for a channel like this for years.

The fact two young actors died from the movies is so tragic. They live on through their work 💚❤️ Dominque and Heather.
