Poltergeist

An original storyboard used in the production of Poltergeist, the 1982 supernatural horror produced by Steven Spielberg.

This storyboard was utilised at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) during the production of the films Academy Award nominated visual effects work. The storyboard is printed on pink paper and shows an illustration of Carol Anne Freeling (Heather O'Rourke) in front of the television screen as a ghostly hand emerges from the screen. Various visual effect elements are noted to the right to include the use of animation and cloud tanks with other hand inscribed annotations below. To the verso the storyboard features two hand drawn illustrations by ILM animation supervisor John Bruno relating to the progression of the sequence.

The storyboard remains in excellent production used condition, extremely fine.

A nice example of original production material from this classic of the horror genre.
