POLTERGEIST
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
The granddad on Parenthood, Craig C. Nelson, was young enough to play the dad in this 1982 horror film, a Steven Spielberg thriller that used what were then state-of-the-art special effects to tell a scary story about a suburban family whose home becomes haunted by – well, let’s just call it paranormal activity. More than 30 years on, it’s fun to watch as a period piece, as well as on its own merits as a genre movie.
