We’ve done Halloween and Exorcist, so how about another Poltergeist reboot?

We’re in the waning hours of what some people call the spookiest season of the year, and Hollywood is apparently looking to conjure up some last-minute holiday spirit (spirit as in ghosts) before all of the ghouls and goblins turn into turkeys and mashed potatoes. But how do you come up with a new spooky idea when that’s literally impossible? Well, thankfully, there are countless old spooky ideas that can be endlessly recycled, and this time the winner is—reaches hand into plastic pumpkin, fishes around for something random and pulls it out—Poltergeist!

And before you say “uh, they just did a Poltergeist reboot in 2015,” this reboot will actually be for television, which is different from before, which is almost as good as coming up with something/anything new! The project is in the works at Amazon MGM, and there are no writers attached yet, so that means there’s not much concrete information we have about this. Variety, which originally reported this news, says that the show will “be set within the world of the film,” so this might be some kind of legacy sequel thing.

Maybe a new family will buy the lot/former cemetery that the house in the original movie was built on before it got sucked into a void? And someone will come along and say “the Craig T. Nelson family used to live here, but we don’t talk about what happened when their house got sucked into a void.” Also, if only because this is the cool thing to do now, we would assume that this will ignore everything that happened in Poltergiest II: The Other Side and Poltergeist III. Unless it takes place in the world of the 2015 film? That would certainly be a choice.
