Proud Staff MemberPoltergeist Commercial for DirecTV
ADVERTS 1
From DirecTV...
in case anyone thought permission was not given...You have likely seen some posts out there about our new Poltergeist commercial, some speculating that the parents of the actress, late Heather O'Rourke might not approve of her being in the ad. Before we went forward with production on the Poltergeist spot, we ran the idea by Heather’s mother for her approval. Not only did she approve it, she thought the inclusion was a wonderful tribute to her daughter.
Thought it might be an important piece of information to share.C-Band FAQ's, The List, SatelliteGuys Cutting Edge, Home Theater Equipment, Primetime,

Nice of DTV to do so. I thought the commercial was great! Saw the movie a few years ago for the first time. Sad that the little girl died though. =(

What I LOVE about the commercial is the fine print that reads: TV reception depicted is not intended to imply quality of cable reception....or some such legal BS.
But all in all, great spot D*!!

But one has to wonder... DirecTV starts airing the Poltergeist commercial and suddenly, all their HD DVRs are acting as if they are...
Possessed!
Coincidence? I leave it up to you...

Wow glad to hear it because when I saw that commercial my first thought was HOW TASTELESS but surely I have no beef if the parents gave their blessing. Hopefully they got a few bucks too.

I still think it is tasteless. I think the fact that she is no longer around overwhelms the entire commercial.
