Still of the original ending with a frozen Carol
Ann in the back-ground…
I’ve always had a fascination with
GARY SHERMAN’S POLTERGEIST III. Not that
its the best in the franchise or anything – there’s just something about it,
an aura if you will,
that keeps me going back to it. Is it the mirror motif, the high rise, the
departure in approach to Part 1 and 2 or the sad passing of its young star HEATHER O ROURKE during the shoot?
Not sure, maybe all of it.
Anyways lucky for me the fansite
POLTERGEIST III.COM shares that
fascination and the dude has been working hard over the years to get all the juice on the
film while reconstituting the ORIGINAL ENDING (which was canned due to
Rourke’s passing). Go
HERE and take a gander! I’m talking NEVER
BEFORE SEEN PICS, STORY BOARDS and DESCRIPTIONS… fascinating. Makes me
want to see POLTERGEIST III again…yes…I’m a simpleton : ) And here’s the
original POLTERGEIST III TRAILER…creeepy!
