No: Poltergeist prequel series

Poltergeist holds up so well after four decades that it remains untarnished by a pair of inferior sequels, an entirely forgettable remake, and an alleged on-set curse. It could surely weather a sub-par TV series, but what would that look like? A sleazy real-estate developer gathering up a bunch of headstones but leaving the bodies behind? The tale of diminutive medium Tangina, an impossibility now that actor Zelda Rubenstein has passed into the great beyond? This story only gets going once the Freelings—psychic tyke Carol Anne in particular—walk through the front door of their exceedingly haunted new home.
