Hey guys, Jana here,
Get ready to start the new year with a scream when Scream Factory releases Collector’s Editions of ‘Poltergeist II‘ and ‘Poltergeist III‘ on January 31, 2017. There are plenty of extras by way of commentaries, featurettes, interviews and more.
In ‘Poltergeist II‘ the Freeling family move in with Diane’s mother in an effort to escape the trauma and aftermath of Carol Anne’s abduction by the Beast. But the Beast is not to be put off so easily and appears in a ghostly apparition as the Reverend Kane, a religeous zealot responsible for the deaths of his many followers. His goal is simple – he wants the angelic Carol Anne; but the love of her family and the power of psychic Tangina once again unite, along with an elderly native American, to fight for her life.
