Am I hypnotizing myself with these details? With our new ability to judgmentally scrutinize every frame of a movie, awareness of all sorts of so-called 'flubs' is rising, even when the errrors in question are not errors at all, just the simple continuity anomalies that used to pass unnoticed. Savant certainly was never aware of this until it was pointed out. The combination of the cutoff dialogue and the blue flash reminds one of a bad theatrical reel change, or a damaged print. The effect of the cut certainly does give the impression that something is missing. Finally, right on the cut, where the blue flash is, is a funny noise, or fragment of a sound which to me has the quality of an old-style car horn, only shorter. The first clear dialog is Nelson's 'Hi, Ben' as he turns to the opening door. Also, JoBeth is again speaking, and seems to be cut off in the middle of another word. The first is a flash of blue light lasting six video frames, or 1/5 of a second. This line is interrupted in mid-word, with a CUT to the exterior of the neighbor's door, as it is opened.

Williams' dialog line is '.and all of a sudden it's like there's no air, except that you can breathe, and, and you're getting pulled along -'. Williams can be heard offscreen chattering away while we watch Nelson in a medium closeup, sitting on the dinette floor. Nelson how both chairs and their daughter Heather O'Rourke magically slide across the kitchen floor, comes to a very strange end. 30 sec., the scene where JoBeth Williams excitedly shows Craig T. There is indeed a pretty weird cut in POLTERGEIST, a cut that stands out in a film of impeccable technical polish. The above is the gist of frequent letters received by MGM Home Entertainment.

What is it? Why is MGM doing this? Is the rest of the movie edited? - Dave Silva / Louis J. About 34 minutes in, the scene changes right in the middle of a dialog line, to a new scene also in the middle of a dialog line. I just purchased POLTERGEIST, only to find the strangest cut in it.
