November 6, 2011, 8:01 pm
@Bursteardrum: Poltergeist clearly has Spielberg's mark all
over it e.g. suburban stories but this time it's a close-knit family

November 6, 2011, 8:02 pm
@alli_and_that: @Bursteardrum How do you think the family
factor changes the dynamic of the film? #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:02 pm
@TaroJ: @Bursteardrum couldnt agree more it's a very
adventure movie style of horror #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:03 pm
@filmutopia: #scriptchat Just lurking here, because I know
nothing about horror. Feel free to educate me on the primary tropes
November 6, 2011, 8:03 pm

you!
November 6, 2011, 8:04 pm
@Bursteardrum: @alli_and_that Hey you. The family factor
made the drama more stronger knowing they all were close to each other.
#scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:04 pm
@TaroJ: #scriptchat it might be odd to say but Poltergeist
doesn't "sound" like a horror film. The soundtrack is more like a
family adventure.
November 6, 2011, 8:05 pm
@Bursteardrum: @TaroJ It's interesting Tobe Hooper was given
a director's credit even though people claim Spielberg did most of the work.
#scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:05 pm
@alli_and_that: @Bursteardrum Definitely! It raises the
stakes and makes the risks more risky! #scriptchat

Quick question off topic: Anyone going to the 21st Century Workshop this
weekend? #scriptchat

Poltergeist soundtrack - much more scary stuff than the original album!
#scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:07 pm
@teenierussell: @HateTheHate there are many types of horror,
Poltergeist is an eg of supernatural horror #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:07 pm
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat A Nightmare On Elm Street
(original) or The Exorcist are better examples. :)

examples. My favourite horror is Asian. Far scarier in my opinion #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:10 pm
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat Poltergeist is weak horror ... the
person in true jeopardy is not on camera. #specialEFFECTS cover it up. :)
November 6, 2011, 8:10 pm
@alli_and_that: @Bursteardrum I think that's one of the best
ways to do it - make the audience feel safe then pull the rug out. #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @ScriptPunk haha, hello. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:11 pm

stick to any real rules. The house is clean! And suddenly, no, it's not!

far superior. :) #scriptchat

@TaroJ: #scriptchat I really find the main family amazingly
stupid

film has amazing eerieness for all the California sunshine. #scriptchat

November 6, 2011, 8:14 pm
@alli_and_that: @TaroJ I think that some kind of ignorance
has to be present in the main protag - maybe not as much though. Audiences are
smart. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:14 pm
@TaroJ: #scriptchat so does anyone else feel as a horror
poltergeist is a good or bad example?
November 6, 2011, 8:14 pm
@Bursteardrum: @SiFoulaReel @teenierussell I agree, the
suburban setting shows it could happen to anyone adding more terror whilst
watching. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:15 pm
@SiFoulaReel: One really great thing is the presentation of
the family. They're not perfect around each other, but they care for one
another.. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:16 pm
@HateTheHate: http://t.co/zrOOKKI5 #scriptchat I could do

was reading a Horror from the very first pages. #scriptchat

@SpockWriter: Polergeist = My dad's fav film!! He saw it
with his YOUNGER brother and guess who got scared first? #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:17 pm
@SiFoulaReel: and also the details, like Steven's
pot-smoking and stuff, that really make it stand out from other family horror.
#scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:17 pm
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat Horror is about payoffs ... the
monster getting you or you getting the monster. :) #moneyshots :P
November 6, 2011, 8:17 pm
@Bursteardrum: The biggest mistake horror films set in
houses is the residents never think to get the hell out of it when strange
things happen #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:18 pm
@Bursteardrum: But the Catch-22 is if they left the house,
the film would end there and then so its good Carol Anne got snatched!
#scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:18 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @Bursteardrum That's the line between the
smart thing to do and having no movie. Unless you invent a reason they can't
leave. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:19 pm
@TaroJ: #scriptchat generally I always find the supernatural
horror the scariest type, exorcist, omen especially if it has a kid in, kids
are creepy

#scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:20 pm
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat 70/80's were a peak for American
horror ... it then slipped into teen friendly product. A "hard R" is
a difficult sell. :S
November 6, 2011, 8:20 pm
@teenierussell: @Bursteardrum they didn't leave though
because the girl was trapped in it, and before that they thought it was some
fun force #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:20 pm
@TaroJ: @Bursteardrum #scriptchat how did they handle it in
Amytiville, so long sice I've seen that one
November 6, 2011, 8:21 pm
@Bursteardrum: @TaroJ Very often supernatural horror films
are about atmosphere which makes films more scary not graphic gory. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:21 pm
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat Horror is almost as formulaic as
#porn ... the challenge is the new angle. :) #supernaturalVSsoftcore :P
November 6, 2011, 8:22 pm
@Bursteardrum: @TaroJ Good point about Amityville, they were
in the house for so long, beggars belief. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:22 pm

engaged and it adds tension, you're getting tense because of what is about to
happen #scriptchat

Poltergeist fell down as a horror for me, it just wasnt creepy enough

forward to The Woman In Black? #scriptchat

to see Woman in Black, despite no knowledge of play #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:24 pm
@Bursteardrum: @TaroJ Fair do. For me Poltergeist was scary
thanks to the VHS era where we sneaked in videos whilst our parents slept.

me Porn is the purest form of genre, pretty much every movie HAS to follow the

November 6, 2011, 8:25 pm
@teenierussell: @Bursteardrum In the case of Poltergeist the
reason was to rescue the daughter, although they should've left the house
before #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:25 pm

stupidly excited for The Woman In Black. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:25 pm
@Bursteardrum: @TaroJ And the fact all the VFX was handmade,
all pre-CGI that added atmosphere & texture to Poltergeist. #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:26 pm

chairs would have freaked me out, so you're right, they're dumb :-) #scriptchat
November 6, 2011, 8:26 pm
@SiFoulaReel: The problem at the moment is to most of the
public, horror means a Saw movie. Hopefully we can shift away from that soon.
