| Scene from Poltergeist |
It's a fact that everyone knows pretty well. In 1982, Steven Spielberg directed the Oscar-winning film E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial. It went on to become a giant success and one of the highest grossing movies period. However, there's another movie released just a week before that may or may not have been directed by Spielberg. Poltergeist is a movie listed as being directed by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Tobe Hooper, but it's long been held as a rumor that he didn't actually direct it. There's a new interview out with one of Poltergeist's assistant cameramen that suggests that there was a devious strategy to Hooper getting top billing and that Spielberg actually directed it. How much is true? The details follow after the jump.
