Forgive if this was asked before but - is there any chance of releasing an expanded and remastered version of POLTERGEIST III?

Good proposal, but isn't it on Varese territory?
The original release, yes. But Varese also did POLTERGEIST II. So... maybe?

Yes, POLTERGEIST III byJoe Renzetti
I'm curious as well, Bruce.
Is this title, and score, worthy of the Kritzerland treatment.
It doesn't hold a candle to Goldsmith, but its kinda quirky, i like it for what it is.
...and was there any large orchestra involved? ...or choir???
I think as POLTERGEIST II was accessible, part III must be as well, even with the Varese LP
I'd have to ask - I want to watch part III again - I think it's on Blu-ray overseas. And maybe I'll whip out the score and give it a listen.

Being 1988 I'm afraid it might be one of those titles with Varese perpetuity rights.
I think the album is a very good representation of the score and I like to hear it from time to time. It's much more like Renzetti's "Child's Play" than what you might expect from "Poltergeist"... (in fact I bought the LP after seing the trailler wich included Goldsmith's Night Of The Beast, it was the first Poltergeist soundtrack I bought)
But I'd buy a new edition as some of the album music are clearly different to the film versions, such as "Skinny Dipper's Blues" and "Ending" (the end titles), and a lot of the music remais unreleased (although its mostly the suspense 'walpaper', with the album including the more 'musical' portions).
The movie remains a guilty pleasure for me, I even saw it twice at the theatre in 1988 (also the only Poltergeist movie I saw at the theatre, the others I had watched on TV and VHS)... I think interesting that they went in a completely different direction and used only practical effects (the only effect included in post production is the lightening at the end) and I think the practical effects with the mirrors, smoke, lights and backwards filming are really effective.
I also would love to see a special edition Blu Ray including the original ending shot with Heather O'Rourke (they reshot the ending after her death and, in the hurried reshot, they even forgot to bring Scott from the other side)

That would be great! Thank you!

Seeing this on the front page of the board, my initial kneejerk reaction was "not ANOTHER edition of Poltergeist II!!!" Now I see it's an old thread. All good. Move along. (This Kritzerland edition is fabulous and the last word, so no need for another edition for a while.)

At first glance, I thought it said NEW KRITZERLAND: POLTERGEIST III COMPLETE!
Exactly. Me, too! Gaaaaah.
