Plot

Steve Freeling (Craig T. Nelson) and his family move into their new house in a subdivision that Freeling's company is developing. It is a wonderful place and seems to be the perfect area for raising a family. As time passes, it appears that the family home is enhabited by a ghost which entertains the family by moving objects around, playing games and entertaining them. The family doesn't mind the ghost until the youngest Freeling, Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke) is taken from the family by the poltergeist. The family calls in help in Dr. Lesh (Beatrice Straight) to try to get Carol Anne back safely from the clutches of the other world.
