Daily Dialogue — June 12, 2019

“AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

— Poltergeist (1982), screenplay by Steven Spielberg & Michael Grais & Mark Victor, story by Steven Spielberg

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Swimming Pool. Today’s suggestion by @jamesvsimpson and @juliehawaii.

Trivia: When writers Michael Grais and Mark Victor first met with Steven Spielberg, they were being hired to write the film that eventually became Always (1989). When Spielberg happened to mention he also had an idea for a ghost story, Grais and Victor said they’d rather write the ghost story than Always and that’s how they got this job.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Such a scary scene desperately clawing at the mud to escape a swimming pool filled with skeletons.
