“They’re here.”
When Poltergeist premiered in 1982, it terrified audiences with its vision of suburban safety turned inside out. Kitchens, bedrooms, and glowing televisions became portals to the uncanny, while a young girl’s whispered words entered the lexicon of horror. The film was a box office triumph, a landmark of special effects and suburban gothic, but it soon carried another legacy-one of tragedy, rumor, and legend.
In The Devil’s Eye: Poltergeist and the Curse of a Horror Classic, film historian Dexter Vaughn traces the story of how a haunted house movie became one of Hollywood’s most enduring myths. From the uneasy collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper, to the shocking deaths of cast members Heather O’Rourke and Dominique Dunne, to the tabloid frenzy that transformed grief into folklore, this book examines the blurred lines between cinema and superstition.
Drawing on contemporary reviews, industry history, and the folklore of cursed productions, Vaughn explores why the Poltergeist curse endures-and what it reveals about the fears, fascinations, and ghosts that haunt Hollywood itself.
A tale of spectacle and sorrow, myth and memory, The Devil’s Eye is more than the story of a horror film. It is a cultural séance, summoning the restless spirits of a movie that refuses to die.
