One of, if not the biggest, horror movies of the 80 s hands down is Poltergeist . The film, directed by Texas Chainsaw Massacre mastermind Tobe Hooper, is one of the biggest critical and commercial successes in horror movie history. Now, here s a fun fact about the flick you may not know, according to local legend - the story of the film and the inspiration to get it made came from a spooky encounter Steven Spielberg had at the Excelsior Hotel in Jefferson, Texas.
For those that don t spend a lot of time in Jefferson, Texas here s a quick rundown: according to those in the paranormal universe, Jefferson is one of the most haunted places in Texas.
