This is bad news.

MGM has hired Juliet Snowden and Stiles White to write the screenplay for a planned remake of Poltergeist, the 1982 horror film that was directed by Tobe Hooper and produced/co-written by Steven Spielberg.

Poltergeist is my favorite horror film of all time, one of those movies anytime I see it on I watch the entire thing. It's also endlessly quotable, particularly little Zelda Rubinstein, whom I quote pretty much every time I finish vacuuming my house. Watch the clip below to figure out what that quote is (it happens around the 3:37 mark).

NOTE: Just a warning, if you haven't seen the movie before, the clip contains the films climax.
