    I love how the boyfriend drops Dana off as the house is being sucked into another dimension and casually drives off like nothing's going on.

      He actually doesn't. At least not right away. When Dana is screaming "What is happening?" you can still see the car in the background. You can even see someone in it looking out the window, obviously looking at what is going on.

    I have a theory about the psychic lady: (contains spoilers)
    She can only detect good spirits, and she cannot directly sense the bad spirits. She can sense when the good spirits are being lead astray, which leads her to believe that she can actually sense bad spirits directly.
    When she said that the house is clean; to the best of her knowledge, it was! This is because the good spirits realized that the demon lost it's power over them and they were freed, so she could no longer detect anything.
    I think the demon existed in the house long before the good spirits could be detected, and that building the house over the cemetery is what summoned the demon and trapped the spirits.
    With the demon summoned, it silently manipulated the family into building the pool, which would eventually unlock the spirits trapped by the house and allow the demon to move to its next phase of the plan.
    The demon needed to sacrifice Carol-Anne to unleash it's full potential, and the other spirits were probably fed some bullshit about how it's "her time" and what not. With the power of the demon and the spirits combined, she was successfully taken to the other side. Once she had crossed over it may have been too late even if they knew, because the demon was now very powerful. The good spirits could not escape it and they summoned help from the psychic.
    When Carol-Anne was taken back, and the spirits were released from the house, because the demon lost the power to control them. This caused the psychic lady to believe that the demon was gone too, but it hadn't.
    The demon was now thoroughly pissed off that its entire plan had been ruined, and attempted to drag anyone still left in the house into hell. It failed because everyone now knew what it was doing, and it had also been severely weakened by the loss of Carol-Anne. The entire house got sucked in to hell, but everybody got out, because the demon simply didn't have the power to stop them!

      Possibly true. However, towards the end of the movie when the portal manifests in the kids' bedroom closet, it's probably a safe bet to think that, unlike the previous time, it probably would not only have pulled Carol Anne into Hell, it probably would have killed her if the tentacle had managed to grab her, or anyone else, for that matter (after dragging them into Hell, of course). In hindsight, why didn't Steven throw Tigue's ass into that thing? He was the one who actually desecrated the burial ground!

      It was a normal, modern cemetery built on top of a sealed cave/tomb of a cult of people that traveled west to start a utopian society. Kane (AKA) the demon, was the leader of cult and he convinced them all to seal themselves in by telling them the end of the world was coming. When the world didn't end he wouldn't let them leave. The reason it affected the Freelings house is because the Cult was sealed in a cave directly below the their house. Carol Anne was Clairvoyant and all of the spirits gravitated to her soul because of her gift. The book is available on Ebay and amazon and explains the whole story in much better detail than the movie.

    Some old time remotes were actually actuated by radio signals, not infrared signals like modern ones. So if the neighbors had the same kind of remote, that kind of interference could happen. That's exactly why they stopped making radio remotes.

    The reason for the jump cut at 5:07 is because originally Steven (Craig T Nelson) said he hates Pizza Hut at the end of the Ghost pulling chair / daughter scene. Pizza Hut complained to Spielberg about this, so he had no option but to cut the scene short. Hence the crude 'jump' to the neighbour's porch. I was always fascinated by this weird edit and found this out by trawling the Web. It's actually me who wrote this piece of trivia on the IMDB website.

    There is very possible explanation for Dana being only 16 years younger then Diane.... Hasn't anybody thought of an possibility that Dana is Steven's daughter from previous marriage or relationship. Throughout the movie, she is almost exclusively interacting only with Steven and has only like four lines of interaction with Diane (almost all of which is during the moving trucks scene). On the other hand, only interaction she has with her siblings is during the breakfast scene. And, even then, she never talks to Carol Anne on-screen. She is only heard once telling Carol Anne that her calling Robbie a "doggie bag" is a "good one", which is only heard off-screen. All that distance from Diane and other kids, might signal that Diane is not her mother and she doesn't consider Robbie and Carol Anne real siblings.

      My mom said she hated it bc when I was a baby in the early 80s I never could get to sleep so mom rocked me until while watching tv & would freak out when the national anthem came on bc she had work the next day & she was nodding & that sound told her it was really late. Sorry mom. Lol. It's crazy that when programming was done u got the national anthem & flag I think til 6 am when the morning news came on. As a life long insomniac I left the tv on & in the 90s as a kid I watched a lot of Time life movie commercials learning a lot of classic songs from the 60s & cher doing a hair system commercial. Now I guess reruns just play in the hrs between 2am & 6am.

    The significance of the Super Bowl poster in the kid's room is eerie.
