Poltergeist watch order

By Marquee Editorial · Published Oct 17, 2026 · 3 entries

The Poltergeist movie franchise consists of three supernatural horror films released between 1982 and 1988. The entries begin with a suburban home plagued by paranormal activity that opens a portal to the other side. Subsequent entries follow the Freeling family attempting to escape trauma by moving in with Diane's mother, and later sending Carol Anne to live with her aunt and uncle to hide her from the ghostly Reverend Kane. Because these films follow the chronological progression of Carol Anne and her family dealing with ghostly entities across three distinct releases, watching them in release order aligns with their production sequence.
