Summerween 2026: Day 18

Movie Night!

The cousins are coming over for a movie night and I am so excited. We are buying movie theater popcorn and sitting our butts in front of the TV to watch

Poltergeist (June 4, 1982)

Strange and creepy happenings beset an average California family, the Freelings — Steve (Craig T. Nelson), Diane (JoBeth Williams), teenaged Dana (Dominique Dunne), eight-year-old Robbie (Oliver Robins), and five-year-old Carol Ann (Heather O’Rourke) — when ghosts commune with them through the television set. Initially friendly and playful, the spirits turn unexpectedly menacing, and, when Carol Ann goes missing, Steve and Diane turn to a parapsychologist and eventually an exorcist for help.

This is one of my favorite films because as a kid the clown doll scared the poop out of me and I have been obsessed ever since. What makes this night even more exciting because I don’t think all of the cousins have actually watched this movie all together so it should be exciting. Especially because the oldest is terrified of clowns.
