FREE CAROL ANNE!
Have you seen this girl?
She's believed to be have been trapped inside the MGM vaults for the past 18 years.
In March of 1988, MGM decided to re-shoot the ending of "Poltergeist III" using a body double stand in for the late Heather O'Rourke ("Carol Anne"). The original ending (which did feature Heather) was then allegedly locked away within the MGM archives, never to be seen again.
However, new evidence has emerged that there are over 100 boxes of film footage related to "Poltergeist III" still in the vaults. The original ending might just be in there! The "real" Carol Anne deserves to be freed after almost two decades of entrapment. If you'd like MGM to rescue her from oblivion by releasing a Special Edition DVD of Heather O'Rourke's last film, email them at:
Here's the scene in particular that needs to be found:
INT. CAROL ANNE'S ROOM-GARDNER APARTMENT-NIGHT
The storm is quickly dissipating-Visibility returns. THE CAMERA MOVES IN ON BRUCE, PATRICIA, DONNA, CAROL ANNE, AND SCOTT. Their arms intertwined around each other. The five of them together in a family embrace sharing tears of joy and relief. Bruce has lifted Carol Anne. Pat stretches up and kisses her lovingly on the cheek. They are all facing away from the mirror except for Carol Anne who is facing it over Bruce's shoulder. Her eyes focus on the mirror.
HER POV-In the mirror is the reflection of the whole group. Amid them stands Tangina. She smiles into CAMERA and waves a gentle "goodbye" to Carol Anne with her fingers.
ANGLE-CAROL ANNE-As she returns the gesture, a solitary tear wells up in one eye and gently rolls down her cheek.
ANGLE-OVER CAROL ANNE-and into the mirror. Tangina appears to walk around the group and in front of them. Carol Anne turns her head into the camera.
HER POV-There is no one in front of them, just the silence of the room and the remains of the broken window looking out to the skyline.
ANGLE-THE FAMILY AND SCOTT-Tangina is no longer in the mirror behind them. All that remains is a family together and safe. THE CAMERA BACKS out of the room and passes through the unbroken window. It PANS across the face of the building, finally settling on the morning sun rising over the shimmering waters of Lake Michigan.
