It's spooky season, so you know what that means - Spook 'em Up Month! A totally common phrase to describe horror movies, which is what we'll be focusing on this October. Up first, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist! Ben, Greg, Ray, and Robbie go for a swim, climb a tree, and throw a rope into hell as they discuss this horror classic.

Directed by Hooper and written by Steven Spielberg, Michael Grais and Mark Victor from a story by Spielberg. Starring JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, Beatrice Straight, Dominique Dunne, Oliver Robins, Heather O'Rourke, and Zelda Rubinstein.
