SCIENCE FICTION NEWS/REVIEWS

A Poltergeist: The Legacy Revival Underway
by Kelly Hoffman

Fans Of the show Poltergeist: The Legacy might find this interesting. A group of fans for the paranormal television series have started a letter-writing campaign to resurrect the drama series from its early and undeserving grave.

The show ran for three years on Showtime and in syndication before being picked up for a fourth season by the SCI FI Channel for their original series lineup on Friday nights. However, SCI FI canceled the series in 1999 after the end of the fourth season.

Poltergeist: The Legacy is a drama starring Helen Shaver ( Desert Hearts, Tremors II, The Craft ) and Derek DeLint ( Three Men And A Baby, Deep Impact, Stealing Heaven ). The series is based on paranormal activity, which is being investigated by a group known as The Legacy. Each story is unique and intriguing but the series was never based on the series of Poltergeist films (similar to a previous show Friday The 13th: The Series which had nothing to do with the film series).

The letter-writing campaign is organized by a Texas fan, Julia Walker, who says, that 300 fans have written letters to MGM the producers of the show. Walker assures fans "that each letter written from her site will be forwarded to the actors and actresses of the series" via MGM. Walker states, "It is my understanding that they [MGM] are very open to restarting the series." This is certainly good news to fans everywhere.

Fans are encouraged to write letters to SCI FI, Trilogy Entertainment and Showtime. There is also an online petition, which was organized separately, that has received more than 400 signatures from fans in support of reviving the series.

Online fan support and letter-writing campaigns can work. All they need is for the fans to letter the show creators know they want more. Just look at what fans recently did for Cleopatra 2525 that was slated for cancellation but thanks to fans the show was saved.

With enough support Julia Walker and fans like her will surely be able to resurrect a show with so much fan support as Poltergeist: The Legacy.
