Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale!  This week in the shop, Zach is telling us about the Curse of the Poltergeist Films!

Gather 'round as we revisit the haunting tale of the Freeling family in their spectral besieged California abode. We take a nostalgic look at "Poltergeist," its spine-chilling legacy, and why its haunting catchphrase "They're here" still echoes through the annals of horror history. Our discussion isn't confined to mere film analysis; it probes deeper into the tragedies that befell the cast, raising hairs with speculations over whether an actual curse loomed over the production. Stories of near-misses on set, untimely deaths, and the unnerving use of real skeletons during filming weave a narrative so peculiar, it might just convince you of the supernatural.

Wrapping up this episode, we fling open the doors to the macabre and invite your most spine-tingling insights on cursed films. 

So, as you venture forth, keep your senses tuned for the odd and the anomalous, and remember the Oddity Shop credo: "creep it real ya oddballs." Until next time!
