Marcey’s Live Blogging for Poltergeist II: The Otherside (1986)

I know I have seen this film, but I actually remember pretty much nothing. I hope that isn’t a bad thing …

This beginning is confusing me, does the family get cursed by the Native Americans? I mean their house was on top of a burial ground originally.

Or do these guys just like letting off evil spirits?

I am like mega confused right now … someone touched their Native American dream catcher and had flashbacks to the first film, HUH?

Or is has he gone to where the house used to be?

Ohhhh its Zelda!

Oh there’s something below the old graveyard … so it wasn’t just that the house was built on burial ground?

If Zelda told me there was something terrible down there, I would NOT be going …

Ewwww gross dead bodies with weird things in their mouths!

Oh dear, the family have started over and this evil what-ever-it-is will soooo haunt them!

Grandma is creepy

LOL the Dad wont allow a TV, oooo continuity!

Oh shit the vacuum cleaner is haunted!

Ahhh damn she is drawing a creepy dude, at first I thought it was Freddy LOL

So the grandma is psychic and the little daughter is too? Oh okay interesting.

Oh man the dialogue is dreadful in this scene but Craig T. is like ignoring it and going for awesome!

Poor family though, the evil spirits and stuff totally screwed them up, they are broke and selling haunted vacuums.

Ewww theres the creepy man from her drawing.

Now the poor girl is lost … creep creep creeppppyyyyyyy

Old man stalking little girl, creeeeepy

This is so messed up, go away creepy dude

He is freaking me outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

DONT GO WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh geez don’t sing creepy dude.

How did the Mum not notice her daughter was missing? Geez

He’s a ghost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More flashbacks, I think we remember the first film.

It is cool they have original cast members back, Heather O’Rourke brought so much in.

Oh creepy ghost phone! Wait .. grandma? Psychic phone?

Oh so Grandma is a ghost? Something weird is going I tell you!

Flashbacks, at least its not from the first film haha

I do remember bits of this film now, but not too well.

CREEPY CLOUDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

That was a fucked up nightmare!

So it’s only storming over the family? Thats just cruel.

Brrr that toy phone is ringing again!

Welp its not grandma on the phone and her doll is moving!

Forget subtle behaviour, they are fully haunted again!

The toys went crazy and there was weird ghostly things, cool scene though.

THEY’RE BACKKK

Ha I love how Craig T. has one liners now.

Too bad this family doesn’t have Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson to help them.

The grandma is now possessing people, see I knew there was something about her.

Whoa there is some racism in this film …

Unfortunately the performances are not as good as they were in the first film, at least this is still highly entertaining.

Oh no creepy old man ghost dude is back!

Why does this guy talk like William Shatner?

Ok WTF is going on?

This old dude looks like a skeleton, so creepy

GET AWAY FROM HIM OMG …. LIKE DUH

Seriously, what the heck is going on with this film?

This film does have a lot going for it and credit has to go towards it for not being a carbon copy of the original.

Damn that was a good scare! Damn these skeleton moments.

OMG BRACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The source of all evil is that darn toy telephone.

Insane attack of the killer braces!

This sequence is genius! Of course braces are scary, no one wants to have to wear them.

Now Craig T. is chewing the scenery I love it!

Oh fuck off creepy old man ghost who wants the little girl … thats just so wrong man!

Taylor is the best part of this film, he’s awesome. I love it when he spouts out whats going on and how things work

The score to this film is pretty darn good.

ZELDA IS BACK YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She has brought photos of the under ground of their house, and there was a strange religious sect there.

So it’s all the fault of some cult? I knew it! Okay maybe not but hey …

Pretty cool special effects for the mid 80’s at use here.

THAT OLD CREEPY GHOST MAN IN AN OLD PHOTO … BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I am so Team Zelda btw.

Backstory time? Yup he’s a crazy cult preacher man … creepy bastard!

So we get some explanation as to why this is happening.

Shirtless Craig T. alert!

Craig T. your family is clearly traumatised and boozing it up wont help.

Ok wtf there’s a bug in his beer with a big eye?

Now he wants to use the toy phone?

Oh here we go lots of evil spirits …

Oh Craig T. why did you drink the bug? Whats the matter with you? You are possessed now son.

Surely she knows her Dad is possessed right, he’s talking with a bad accent lol

Oh they just blame it on the alcohol.

Oh such over acting, its glorious!

This is so grossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

DEFEAT THE EVIL WITH LOVEEEEEEEEE

This is so freaking grossss hahaha

The effects are so damn good and this is a great example of how good practical ones can be too,

Creepy old man ghost monster! The hell?

Oh he blew that weird smoke at it lol thanks Taylor

Parents y u no watch kids?

Are these zombies? Or ghost zombies?

LOL the kid attacks his mother with a mop!

Is the car still pissed?

Or is it happy and it’ll save them?

OMG flying chainsaw LOL

Even the dog looks scared shitless over that chainsaw!

When will the evil fuck off and leave the poor family alone?

What happened to poor Zelda?

Ok back to the old house area, and Zelda is back thankfully.

BONES AND BONES AND BONES

That is so a place to take children!

Ok what just happened? Mother and daughter went to the other side? AGAIN!?!

You can see the original and this sequel had such an influence on this genre.

This film is so awesomely 80’s, and a shitload of fun.

And the ghost grandma saves her grandchild, d’awwww
