One of, if not the biggest, horror movies of the 80 s hands down is Poltergeist . The film, directed by Texas Chainsaw Massacre mastermind Tobe Hooper, is one of the biggest critical and commercial successes in horror movie history. Now, here s a fun fact about the flick you may not know, according to local legend - the story of the film and the inspiration to get it made came from a spooky encounter Steven Spielberg had at the Excelsior Hotel in Jefferson, Texas.
For those that don t spend a lot of time in Jefferson, Texas here s a quick rundown: according to those in the paranormal universe, Jefferson is one of the most haunted places in Texas. The history of the place is filled with Wild West Shootouts, early 1900s serial killers and everything in between. If you re into the paranormal, I d highly recommend the Jefferson Ghost Walk.
