Happy Halloween everyone! Since we released The Long Walk podcast yesterday, we thought we’d give you guys a treat of some Poltergeist talk in this Halloween day, as Garrett’s two podcast co-hosts still haven’t done that film series with him, he had to get his love for Poltergeist out in some other way. Enter Poltergeist expert David Furtney!

Earlier this year Garrett interviewed his friend David Furtney about his love and knowledge of the movie Poltergeist. Not just the first one, but the sequels and remake as well. The interview itself was, in our opinion, very good and insightful. The problem was there just didn’t seem like an appropriate time to release said interview to you guys. We feel, October 31st is just as good a time as any. So here we go.

If you love Poltergeist, then this is the podcast for you. Garrett and David go into EVERYTHING about the productions of them all. From rumors of a Poltergeist curse, to details concerning a lawsuit filed against producer/writer Steven Spielberg regarding who actually wrote it, to Spielberg himself getting turned down by Stephen King when he approached the author to write it (and what the reason why that didn’t happen could be), to THAT rumor regarding who actually directed the 1982 original, to the troubled productions of parts 2 and 3, to the Sam Raimi produced 2014 remake, and ALL in between, David really takes us into the weeds as to how this series got made. Also, what made David love the series so much that he started a website about it (http://www.poltergeist.poltergeistiii.com), as well as what film in the franchise did he initially love most, and ssooo much more. We’d like to thank David for his patience and time, and we feel this interview is well worth the wait.

Also, Garrett gives his opinion on how 2025’s World Series is turning out, and then closes the show with some talk about the band Garbage and his attendance of a date on what is being hyped as their final North American headlining tour.
