SCREENING ON HALLOWEEN | Strange and creepy happenings beset an average California family, the Freelings — Steve (Craig T. Nelson), Diane (JoBeth Williams), teenaged Dana (Dominique Dunne), eight-year-old Robbie (Oliver Robins), and five-year-old Carol Ann (Heather O’Rourke) — when ghosts commune with them through the television set. Initially friendly and playful, the spirits turn unexpectedly menacing, and, when Carol Ann goes missing, Steve and Diane turn to a parapsychologist and eventually an exorcist for help.

With an introduction by paranormal investigator Vinny Carbone

Vinny Carbone – Paranormal Investigator 
After experiencing an inexplicable event while working late one evening in his college dorm, Vinny Carbone has been investigating claims of the paranormal throughout the world since 2011. 
He has lectured on the paranormal at locations such as the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Historic Richmondtown, the Lexington Historical Society, and Columbia University’s Teachers College. He has been featured on the Travel Channel’s HAUNTED USA and THE HOLZER FILES, CBS SUNDAY MORNING, INSIDE EDITION, Barstool Sports, and BUZZFEED UNSOLVED.  
In approaching his investigations logically, Vinny first considers the scientific and psychological factors possibly contributing to a reported haunting. He welcomes every opportunity to further the discussion of the unknown, especially the most steadfast skeptic.
For more information, please visit his Instagram page, @Carbone_paranormal, and his official YouTube channel, Vinny Carbone- Paranormal Investigator.”
