The Funhouse scared the beejesus out of me when it came out. RIP Tobe, you'll be greatly missed.

As for Poltergeist: there still is controversy as to who actually directed it. Hooper is credited but rumors have been flying since the movie came out that is was Spielberg who directed it. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polter...reative_credit

All I hope is that Spielberg will keep his mouth shut and let Hooper keep the credit.
