I begged to see Poltergeist when it came out in 1982, I was 11. One of my main arguments was that it was only rated PG, ET came out the same year and it was rated PG; the PG-13 rating didn't exist yet.
I did not sleep in my room for 3 months after that and when I finally was able to go back all my stuffed animals had to be out of the room.
I have never found another movie again that scared me so much and I have seen more horror movies than I could count.
I am 53 and live in DC. I bought just as the pandemic was starting when nobody knew what was going to happen and the rates were low. The market has since exploded and I could never have afforded the home I am in.
