Well now it turns out the whole “Tobe Hooper directed” aspect is more suspect than once thought, with multiple sources, including Poltergeist’s director of photography Matthew Leonetti, claiming that executive producer (and arguably greatest living filmmaker) Steven Spielberg was the true director.
