Twentieth Century Fox has released a new trailer for producer Sam Raimi’s remake of Tobe Hooper’s 1982 supernatural blockbuster Poltergeist. Gil Kenan (Monster House) directs the film from a script written by David Lindsay-Abaire (Oz the Great and Powerful).

Poltergeist tells the story of a tight knit family taking on supernatural forces with the help of a medium to bring back their abducted young daughter from a netherworld. The movie looks creepy-cool and reminds us why clowns are dicks.

The only question now is if the remake’s cast will survive the Poltergeist curse, which took the lives of five franchise actors including it young star Heather O’Rourke (Carol Ann Freeling), dead from septic shock in 1988, and Dominique Dunne (Dana Freeling), choked to death by an ex-boyfriend.

Will Sampson, best known for playing Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, played good spirit Taylor in Poltergeist 2. He died of kidney failure after a heart transplant. The awesome Julian Beck played evil Reverend Henry Kane in the same film. He passed from stomach cancer.

Zelda Rubinstein, who played the series’ iconic seer Tangina Barrons, died in 2010 at the age of 76 from natural causes… or did she? Okay… Rubinstein, Sampson, and Beck were all old and their deaths not very shocking, but still kinda fascinating and weird, no?

Poltergeist arrives May 22. Tells us who’s croaking first: Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Kennedi Clements, Jared Harris, Saxon Sharbino, Susan Heyward, Jane Adams, and Nicholas Braun.
