Poltergeist is a 1982 American supernatural horror film directed by Tobe Hooper and written by Steven Spielberg, Michael Grais, and Mark Victor from a story by Spielberg. It stars JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, and Beatrice Straight, and was produced by Spielberg and Frank Marshall. The film focuses on a suburban family whose home is invaded by malevolent ghosts that abduct their youngest daughter (Carol Anne).As Spielberg was contractually unable to direct another film while he made E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial, Hooper was selected based on his work on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Funhouse . The origin of Poltergeist can be traced to Night Skies, which Spielberg conceived as a horror sequel to his 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind; Hooper was less interested in the sci-fi elements and suggested they collaborate on a ghost story.Released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer through MGM/UA Entertainment Co. on June 4, 1982, Poltergeist was a major critical and commercial success, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 1982. In the years since its release, the film has been recognized as a horror classic. It was nominated for three Academy Awards, named by the Chicago Film Critics Association as the 20th-scariest film ever made, and a scene made Bravo 's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.The film was followed by Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986), Poltergeist III (1988), and a 2015 remake , but none had the critical success of the original. It was reported that the movie was filmed with real human skeletons due to the fact that in those days real skeleton were cheaper than artificial/plastic ones. And the cast members were not informed that the skeletons was a real human skeleton.The film was portrayed as a cursed film after Four cast members died either during filming or shortly thereafter, including child actress O’Rourke (as Carol Anne).

Updated at Sep 19, 2025, 08:26
Aztecs Tribe is one of the strongest tribes in Mexico. A tribe rooted in their traditional belief. This group of people had an encounter with the Spanish colonials who watched their activity and the cultural way of life and asked the chiefs why they perform their traditional ritual rite of extracting heart from captured humans; They reiterated that "heart harvesting is a means of liberating themselves and reuniting with their Sun God and the life they live is because of their gods. With their sacrifice, life will be given back to them. The sacrifice usually happens monthly using their slaves or neighbouring and captured victims. During the sacrificial ritual,the victims were expected to bless the children, greet and cheer passers-by,hear people's petitions to the gods, visit people in their homes, led sacred songs,procession and dances. Before and during the killing, the traditional priest and audience gathers in the sacrificial destination, Pierce and bled themselves as auto sacrifice. Hymns, whistles and dances marked different phases of the rite, then they are dismembered by their priest with a special sacrificial knife. The heart which is the essential and vital part of the sacrifice is taken and offered to the gods while the rest of the body is thrown away. Till today the sacrificial site and chamber is being preserved and is now a world heritage site. This is being depicted in the movie (apocalypse). It's a real ancient story and events. Whereas colonization of the Americas started in the 15th Century by the Europeans following colonizationg in the 19th Century.

THE UNCONTACTED TRIBES
Updated at Sep 19, 2025, 08:06
Uncontacted peoples generally refers to Indigenous peoples who have remained largely isolated to the present day, maintaining their traditional lifestyles and functioning mostly independently fromany political or governmental entities.The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights refers to uncontacted peoples as "Indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation."These groups are defined by their general rejection of contact with anyone outside of their own people. This definition also includes groups who have previously had sustained contact with the majority non-Indigenous society but have chosen to return to isolation and no longer maintain contact.They represent some of the last people on earth whose way of life remains entirely undisturbed by modern civilization.Currently, there are more than 100 uncontacted tribes around the world, from the Amazon to Indonesia, from the Indian Ocean to the Chaco forest.Brutal Consequences🏴‍☠️ American missionary John Allen Chau appears to have been killed by the Sentinelese tribe, an uncontacted tribe with a history of murdering unwanted intruders, which has no connection whatsoever with the outside world.In 1987, a Roman Catholic bishop and a nun intending to spread the word of God met a fate similar to that of Chau at the hands of the Waorani, a group of native Amerindians in Ecaudor. Bishop Alejandro Lavaca and Sister Ines Arango were sacrificed by the tribespeople in brutal fashion, their bodies pinned to the ground by 21 wooden spears and their wounds stuffed with leaves to stop the blood flowing.While most of the thousands-strong Ayoreo tribe have been contacted and have assimilated into mainstream society, the last few members who have remained isolated represent the last remaining uncontacted tribe in South America outside of the Amazon, Survival International says. In 1961, British explorer Richard Mason was killed by an uncontacted Amazonian tribe, the Panará. The Panará lived in relative isolation until 1973 when the government project (Cuiabá-Santarém) road BR-163 was built through their territory. As a result, the tribe suffered newly introduced diseases and environmental degradation of their land.Indigenous rights activists have often advocated that Indigenous peoples in isolation be left alone, saying that contact will interfere with their right to self-determination as peoples. On the other hand, experience in Brazil suggests isolating peoples might want to have trading relationships and positive social connections with others, but choose isolation out of fear of conflict or exploitation.a senior anthropology lecturer at the University of Sussex, who has studied tribes in the area stated “The reason they’re isolated is precisely because of a history of violence and a history of exploitation,” he said.The majority are found in the Amazon rainforest, while some lesser-understood groups exist in New Guinea, in forests and on islands elsewhere around the globe.These nomadic hunter-gatherers shun industrial society at any cost and on the occasions when modernity comes to them, the results are usually violent."Sometimes they will have in their collective memory a massacre, a violent incident, or a disease or epidemic – so very often, there are well-founded reasons for these tribes to not want to have anything to do with the outside world", Mazower told CNN.When contact does occur, it can prove fatal. Tribespeople frequently attack intruders, and can also fall victim to common diseases like the flu, for which they have no immunity. "Often, they are very fearful of outsiders with very good reason,” Mazower said.With the creation of gigantic tribal reserves and strict patrolling, Colombia is now regarded as one of the countries that offer maximum protection to uncontacted Indigenous people. On 18 January 2007, Fundação Nacional do Índio reported 67 remaining uncontacted tribes in Brazil, up from 40 known in 2005. With this increase, Brazil surpassed New Guinea , becoming the country with the largest number of uncontacted peoples in the world. International organizations have highlighted the importance of protecting indigenous peoples' environment and lands, the importance of protecting them from exploitation or abuse, and the importance of no contact in order to prevent the spread of modern diseases. Historic exploitation and abuse at the hands of the majority group have led many governments to give uncontacted people their lands and legal protection. Many Indigenous groups live on national forests or protected grounds, such as the Vale do Javari in Brazil or North Sentinel Island in India. In 1961, British explorer Richard Mason was killed by an uncontacted Amazonian tribe, the Panará . The Panará lived in relative isolation until 1973 when the government project (Cuiabá-Santarém) road BR-163 was built through their territory. As a result, the tribe suffered newly introduced diseases and environmental degradation of their killing more than 350 tribal people.
