I would also have liked the second or third idea more than the prequel idea especially since the idea that Kane was Carol Anne's great-great-great-great grandfather would be preposterous,unless they were to say that Kane's son or grandson decided to change the family name to Freeling or maybe Wilson, the Diane Freeling character's maiden-name.
I agree that the idea of connecting Kane to the Freeling family like that is totally silly and dumb, but I do love the idea of a full-on Kane prequel. The backstory they present for him, in Poltergeist 2, could've easily been its own movie.
See, I want to write a Poltergeist Part 2, the house comes back, not dealing with the Freelings,but dealing with an adult Carol Anne and having to protect her children. I am a horror writer with three books out. I would love to tackle this but I don't want to get into any trouble from the owners of the copyrights, etc etc
"Kayeri", for sure. "In the Shadows" could've been an alternate title. Sounds like the most sensible progression of the series, as Steven's arc in the second film was one of the best things about it. Considering ALL the remakes of classic 70's and 80's Horror films have basically killed their respective franchise (due to actual poor quality or the disapproval of a strict fan base), "Kayeri" might see some new life, if Nelson's around to partake in it that is. Might want to give it a couple of years though, like the span between "Evil Dead" (2013) & "Ash vs. Evil Dead" (2015).
Heather orourke was the dominant caractor in all three films "poltergeist" 2..Kane wasnt the dominant individual in this film as heather was..however I know what u mean by your comments..but the trilogy was heathers just face up to it! She was the main actor through out all three films.
I think they should've done both the prequel and Kayeri. Would've made good bookends.
Kayeri sounds kind of cool. I would have definitely watched it if it was made.
Stephanie Coffey as Carol anne O'Freeling
The Freaky Freelings is the only title... period!
A promising sequel would have only made sense if it was to connect the first 2 films together. Since Kane had no significance in the first and no poltergeists were even present in the second, makes for a obvious plot that needed to be explored. Either way, I doubt a third would have made any improvement on the critics as they already battered the 2nd and 3rd films.
Kayeri seemed the most promising to me. Would've loved to have seen Nelson return to the role one last time.
A prequel for Kane, tying him to the Feeling family, though it sounds good, is really unnecessary.
