As well as having Writing, Story, and Production credits for Poltergeist it's also pretty much an open secret that Spielberg was the real director too. Yes Hooper gets the credit, but it's well known that Spielberg wanted to direct, but legally couldn't because of his E.T. Contract, and all word from everyone on set (besides Hooper and Spielberg themselves) says that Hopper did the setup, but Spielberg made all final adjustments.

Poltergeist - Lisa's Review
*** SPOILERS *** (but who hasn't seen this???)
So to lay my cards on the table straight away. I LOVE this movie. I did the first time I saw it as a pre-teen, I did when I watched it umpteen times over the years from then to now and I did when I watch it again before this review.
I suppose I have always been intrigued by the paranormal and supernatural, so it was a subject which was always going to haul me in. My belief may have wavered a bit since those early years, but I still find the whole subject interesting and swallow movies about it by the box load.
