Story: The movie begins with a normal middle class suburban family enjoying their new home in a typical community. Everything is going splendidly for them until the youngest daughter, an adorable little blond girl Carol Anne who is around the age of 5, goes up to the static filled television and places both hands on it before announcing one of the most memorable movie lines ever, “They’re here!” From that point on the house begins to go from eerie to downright full on psychotic. All begins with some strange and amusing poltergeist activity and when Carol Anne disappears.A team of paranormal investigators is called in, but it's a task none of them are quite prepared for.
Creepiest scene: A psychic, describing the circumstances of the missing little girl, informs her parents that there are many arms about her, including those of an evil presence... "to her it is just another child, but to us it is... the beast."
