One year after the events of Poltergeist, Cuesta Verde, the Freelings' neighborhood from the first film, is being evacuated and turned into an archaeological paranormal dig, centered around the spot where the Freelings' home stood before it imploded. The excavation leads to the discovery of an underground cave by a ground crew. Its existence is revealed to psychic Tangina Barrons (Zelda Rubinstein), who tells a friend of hers, Taylor (Will Sampson), a Native American shaman. After investigating the cave for himself, Taylor realizes that Rev. Henry Kane (Julian Beck), a deceased, insane preacher, has located Carol Anne and goes to defend her.Actors

The Freeling family has sent Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke) to live with Diane's sister Pat (Nancy Allen) and her husband Bruce Gardner (Tom Skerritt). Carol Anne has been told she is in Chicago temporarily to attend a unique school for gifted children with emotional problems, though Pat thinks it is because Steven and Diane just wanted Carol Anne out of their house.

Née à St. Louis, Missouri, Joséphine Baker est née pauvre, mais elle a atteint la célébrité et la fortune grâce à ses performances érotiques et exotiques. Débutant sur le circuit américain de vaudeville, le succès amène Joséphine à Paris où sa danse semi-nue fait sensation sur la scène internationale. Grâce à ses mariages avec un pseudo-compteur et chef d'orchestre italien, à son lien avec l'officier de l'armée Sydney Williams, la vie de Joséphine est une montagne russe d'amour et de rejet de ses amants et de son pays. Mais à moitié nue, ou de la tête aux pieds avec des paillettes, en tenue de combat ou en haillons, sa beauté et son ambition ont fait en sorte que l'on se souviendra toujours de Josephine Baker comme la première, et peut-être la plus aimée, des véritables stars internationales.
