Poltergeist

Poltergeist - in which a little girl is kidnapped by a ghost, and her family doesn't spend any time in denial about what happened. First, there is this family living in a house, getting a pool installed in the backyard, and staying up late, watching TV. The dad keeps falling asleep in the living room, and when the station goes off air, the local ghosts start talking through the static, and the little girl hears them, and makes friends. She asks them to play with her, and they invade the house, and it turns out they are super-powerful ghosts, and they have invaded the house and start messing with all the furniture and lights and people. Then, things flip out of control, and this scary looking tree breaks into the kids' room and tries to eat the little boy. It is going great for the tree, even though the mom and dad run outside and try like hell to save him. Well, they do save him, because the monster-tree was only a ruse, and the little girl, Carol-Ann get kidnapped into a portal in the closet. Like, kidnapped from the normal plane of existence, and her family can only hear her through the static channel on the TV, and only sometimes. So, the family contacts some professionals, who come and see the severity of the situation, and feel how horrible everything in the house is. The backup they call in is Zelda Rubinstein, and she is there to kick some spiritual ass. What's awesome is that the mom and dad are totally on board for everything, and they don't spend 1/4 of the movie arguing about what's real or not. So, the poltergeist thing has an element of urgency to it, because they could leave at any time, and then they're never getting Carol-Ann back. So, Zelda gets some rope and some tennis balls and everyone works together, and the mom goes into the closet portal and gets her daughter and they get out safely. It is almost over, but a few nights later, the house goes berserk again, and all of these coffins and skeletons appear in the pool hole, because their neighborhood used to be a cemetery! It is very expensive to relocate an entire cemetery, it turns out. They make it out alive, with the dog, and they never watch TV again.
