Due to unfortunate personal circumstances, I was unable to make this week's update. However, I was able to throw together a little video showing how certain scenes, shots, and ideas in Poltergeist (1980) made their way, either consciously or unconsciously, into Evil Dead II (1986). As you'll see, just about everything Raimi borrows he embellishes and amps up several points. But the source material is clearly from the Hooper/Spielberg film.
Help make this site more interesting through discussion:
