"So there I was ready to write my review and I remembered THIS FANTASTIC POLTERGEIST 3 SITE! Webmaster David Furtney who is well aware of P3’s considerable faults is infatuated and madly in love with P3 to a degree that should be envied by filmgoers everywhere." -Lance of "Kindertrauma.com" http://www.kindertrauma.com/?p=298
"For all there is to know about this movie - how it came to be, what went wrong and why (it’s production history rivals that of Heaven’s Gate), be sure check out David Furtney’s brilliant website: http://www.poltergeistiii.com/. It’s everything!"-Jeff of the horror blog "Kindly Undo These Straps"

ZELDA RUBINSTEIN
1933-2010
Zelda passed away today after an extended hospital stay
The cause was complications of a heart attack she had two months ago, her agent, Eric Stevens, said. No immediate family members survive....Ms. Rubinstein was also known for her public advocacy of AIDS education and the rights of little people, the term she preferred.

I'll always remember the time I got to shake her hand briefly and tell her how nice it was to meet her at the "Poltergeist" 25th Anniversary screening in Santa Monica, back in 2007. She was a great lady and will be missed. She will also be remembered for her AIDS education work, back during the days when it was controversial to do so. You can see a recent interview with her regarding that topic here:

Thanks for visiting my site. Most of you are probably thinking "Why do you have a web site dedicated to such an awful movie?!" To that I'd say even bad movies have some good things about them! If you'd like to have a good laugh at "Poltergeist III's" expense, check out this YouTube video called "Who Dammit Who?!"

Did you know that Nancy Allen is not holding Heather O'Rourke ("Carol Anne") in the scene above? She's actually holding a photo double. This scene was part of a re-shoot, and was done after Heather passed away. It replaced the old ending, which probably exists somewhere in MGM's vaults. For more information, check out the ENDING section above.
