1. Poltergeist 1982: The kids share a room with matching wicker headboards on the twin beds, and the toys move around on their own and scare the shit out of them. Just like in…

I think I’m inclined to agree. Somewhat.
Every so-called “idea” we have, no matter how novel, is built on a previous idea, or amalgamations of them.
