(Learn More) Poltergeist, the classic 1982 Tobe Hooper supernatural horror thriller ("'They're here.'"; "It knows what scares you."; "Steven Spielberg has been called the American screen's master story-teller. From the thrashing terror of 'Jaws' to the awesome spectacle of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' to globe-trotting adventure of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' he has delighted, mystified and scared more audiences... More imaginatively... Than any filmmaker of our time."; "As producer and co-author of 'Poltergeist,' Spielberg is joined by co-producer Frank Marshall, with whom he made 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' co-authors Michael Grais and Mark Victor, director Tobe Hooper, and the special effects wizardry of Oscar winning Richard Edlum ['Star Wars'] and Industrial Light and Magic."; "In 'Poltergeist' they cross a frighting new threshold, encountering forces which baffle science, defy reason... And turn the once peaceful lives of a normal American family into an existence that must be experienced to be believed."; "The first real ghost story.") starring Jobeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, Beatrice Straight, Dominique Dunne (in her first and only movie role; she was brutally strangled to death by her ex-boyfriend after the release of this film), Heather O'Rourke, Zelda Rubinstein, and Oliver Robins NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut and is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
