Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.In the first movie, a group of sinister ghosts invade a family's home through the television. At first the ghosts appear friendly, playing tricks and amusing the family, then turn malevolent and nasty. The family's 5-year-old daughter, Carol Anne, is then abducted by the ghosts and held hostage in their spirital world. A spiritual healer and a ghost expert are eventually brought in, allowing her mother to step into the "other world" to save her. It is then revealed gruesomely at the end of the movie that the family home (and the entire residental subdivision) was built over a cemetery (that only had the headstones moved to a different location), disturbing the sleep of the dead. The two sequels (1986 and 1988) followed a path of different ghosts stalking Carol Anne and her other family members too. Some of the stars in the movie suffered unfortunate fates, for which the movie series has been dubbed as having a Poltergeist curse. Partial credits
