BLAST FROM THE PAST! POLTERGEIST 3 is a film that fascinates me to this day. It has been shrouded in controversy from Heather o Rourke's untimely death to the conflicting accounts on the ending. Was is re-shot or not? In an interview that I did with Director Gary Sherman eons ago he stated this about the ending:
-The ending was not a re-shoot. The original ending was never shot. Heather died a week before we were scheduled to shoot the ending. There was no way we could (or even wanted to, for that matter) shoot the scenes without her. There were some 17 pages left to shoot.
But actor Kipley Wentz (who played Scott in the film) had this to say:
-The "original" ending was shot. The movie was wrapped about seven months before Heather died. After she died, they wanted to re-shoot the ending because it obviously featured Heather prominently and it was all very upsetting for everyone.
Confusing? Yup! It gets better! Below are pictures from the supposedly "initial ending" of the film.
So what's going on? Was the first ending ever shot or what? Your answer may lie below.
Thanks to Eric for the heads up!
