[edit] Unfortunate fates?

This seems a little vague. What actors suffered what fates?

[edit] fates:

• Dominique Dunne: Strangled by ex-boyfriend at age 22
• Heather O'Rourke: Died of septic shock at age 12
• Will Sampson: Died of cancer shortly after Poltergeist II was released
• Julian Beck: Also died of cancer, before Poltergeist II was finished post-production.
• Geraldine Fitzgerald and Beatrice Straight have also passed away.
• Brian Gibson also died.

I think there should be more emphathis on the "Poltergeist Curse" and a better and less subjetive synopsis of Poltergeist III.

[edit] Cleanup

I've cleaned up film 1, 2 and 3 still need a lot of work. JoshuaZ 22:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Split

I split the article into three separate articles. Cbrown1023 22:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
