However, the real cause of her death might be infinitely more disturbing: Hollywood depravity. Published&nbsp;2 weeks ago&nbsp;on&nbsp;December 1, 2021 ByVigilant Citizen\n\n\n\nThe 1982 movie&nbsp;Poltergeist&nbsp;is widely considered a horror classic whose influence still reverberates today. Indeed, if nobody wants to live anywhere near an ancient burial ground to this day, it is because of that movie.\n\n\n\nWhile there have been tons of horror movies released in the past decades,&nbsp;Poltergeist&nbsp;stands out from the crowd. It is certainly one of those movies people seem to remember more vividly than others. Why is that?\n\n\n\nFor one,&nbsp;Poltergeist&nbsp;is not your typical horror flick with a dark atmosphere and adult theme. It was written and co-directed by Steven Spielberg who was simultaneously working on&nbsp;E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial&nbsp;at that time.&nbsp;In fact, the summer of 1982 was dubbed \u201cThe Spielberg Summer\u201d because&nbsp;E.T.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Poltergeist&nbsp;were released one week apart.\n\n\n\nAt first glance,&nbsp;Poltergeist&nbsp;has a similar look and feel to&nbsp;E.T.&nbsp;However,&nbsp;Poltergeist&nbsp;quickly turns into pure nightmare fodder for children. In fact, the movie appears to be <span class=\"maquina-leer-mas\">[...x]<\/span><div id=\"premium-content-gate\" style=\"display:none;\" class=\"contenido-premium\">specifically made to terrify young viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And millions of children ended up watching that movie because, astoundingly, it was rated PG \u2013 despite the fact that there\u2019s a scene where a guy literally peels his face off. How did that happen? Was it a gross oversight? Not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2001&nbsp;article in The New Yorker&nbsp;revealed that Poltergeist was initially given an R rating by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) through a unanimous vote. However, after intense pressure by the movie makers (including Spielberg himself), the movie ended up getting a PG rating \u2026 by unanimous vote. In other words, the system got corrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>M-G-M appealed the \u201cPoltergeist\u201d R rating to the appeals board. Heffner had long argued that people from outside the industry should be included on the board, but Valenti\u2019s response was \u201cNot so long as I\u2019m here,\u201d Heffner said. By a vote of twenty to four, M-G-M won the appeal to have the R changed to a PG.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This caused countless parents to believe that the movie was OK for children to watch. It wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-42918\">The headline of a&nbsp;2020 article on&nbsp;Polygon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The author of this article goes as far as calling&nbsp;<em>Poltergeist<\/em>&nbsp;a \u201cbetrayal of Spielberg\u2019s audience\u201d. He argues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis movie is&nbsp;<em>jam-packed&nbsp;<\/em>with stuff to specifically and intentionally terrify children.

You\u2019re not safe inside your own home, especially at night (which is always strobe-lit by lightning).\u201d<br>\u2013 Polygon, Poltergeist\u2019s PG rating was a crime against kids of the \u201980s<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In short,&nbsp;<em>Poltergeist<\/em>&nbsp;contains scenes that sadistically poke at children\u2019s most visceral fears, anxieties, and insecurities. In fact, according to&nbsp;IMDB, the star actress Shirley Maclane actually turned down the role of the mother in&nbsp;<em>Poltergeist<\/em>&nbsp;because she \u201cobjected to the terrorization of children\u201d. She said that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>report this adMaclane clearly realized that there was something wrong with that movie. And, boy was she right.

Dominique ended the relationship on October 30, 1982. That same night, a distraught Sweeney raced to her house, where she and actor David Packer&nbsp;were rehearsing a scene from&nbsp;<em>V: The Final Battle<\/em>, dragged her outside, and strangled her, leaving her brain-dead.<br>\u2013 Ibid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-42947\">Dunne on&nbsp;<em>Hill Street Blues<\/em>.

Producer&nbsp;Steven Spielberg&nbsp;came up to them and wanted O\u2019Rourke for the part of Carol Anne. She initially failed the screen test because she kept laughing her way through the audition, even when she was supposed to be afraid. Spielberg thought she was too young to take the part seriously, but he still recognized something special in her, so he asked her to come back for another audition, and this time, bring a scary storybook with her. He also asked her to scream, so she screamed and screamed until she started crying. This audition got her cast as Carol Anne.<br>\u2013 Ibid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years later, on February 1, 1988, O\u2019Rourke died following two cardiac arrests at 12 years old. She was filming&nbsp;<em>Poltergeist III<\/em>. While the official cause of death was \u201ccongenital stenosis of the intestine complicated by septic shock\u201d, doctors could not explain why this young girl died so suddenly. Daniel Hollander, the doctor who treated O\u2019Rourke\u2019s, stated that the death was \u201cdistinctly unusual\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 1988 article by the Associated Press article titled&nbsp;Doctors: Unusual Circumstances Surrounded Actress\u2019 Death&nbsp;describes the mystery surrounding O\u2019Rourke\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The death of 12-year-old \u2033Poltergeist\u2033 actress Heather O\u2019Rourke was \u2033distinctly unusual\u2033 because she lacked prior symptoms of the bowel defect that reportedly killed her, gastrointestinal doctors say.<\/p><p>\u2033I would have expected a lot of (digestive) difficulties throughout her life and not just to have developed a problem all of a sudden,\u2033 said Dr. Daniel Hollander, head of gastroenterology at University of California, Irvine, Medical Center.<\/p><p>Other specialists, also unconnected with the case, said Wednesday it was possible she died as the resulted of a birth defect, but added that the circumstances of her death were extremely unusual. (\u2026)<\/p><p>Terry Merryman, spokeswoman for Children\u2019s Hospital of San Diego, said Heather died Monday of septic shock due to congenital stenosis of the lower intestine, or bowel. That means she died of shock caused by infection in the blood, which in turn was caused by a birth defect that made a section of her intestine abnormally narrow.<\/p><p>Such narrowing typically reduces bowel diameter to one-eighth inch instead of the normal half inch, impeding movement of food and fluid through the bowel. The defect usually is apparent at birth because it causes severe abdominal pain, vomiting and nausea, Hollander said, adding that it is very rare for the disorder to kill an older child who lacked prior symptoms.<\/p><p>Mike Meyer, the actress\u2019 manager and lawyer, said Heather didn\u2019t suffer chronic digestive problems, and the bowel narrowing wasn\u2019t discovered until she underwent surgery and died on the operating table after suffering cardiac arrest en route to the hospital.<\/p><p>Hollander speculated that Heather\u2019s bowel narrowing might not have been congenital but could have developed suddenly due to inflammation. (\u2026)<\/p><p>Moderate bowel narrowing at birth might not cause symptoms, but a lack of symptoms before age 12 \u2033would be distinctly unusual,\u2033 said Dr. Paul Hyman, chief of pediatric gastroenterology at Harbor-University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center. (\u2026)<\/p><p>\u2033I cannot understand what precipitated the death because it\u2019s usually clear when they\u2019re born they have an important disease,\u2033 said Dr. Carlo Di Lorenzo, a University of Southern California pediatrician.<\/p><p>\u2033It just doesn\u2019t seem to quite make sense,\u2033 said Dr. Hartley Cohen, a USC gastroenterologist.<\/p><p>\u2033It\u2019s weird,\u2033 Meyer said. \u2033She was completely healthy Saturday, they thought she had the flu on Sunday and she was dead on Monday.\u2033<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, O\u2019Rourke\u2019s death had something to do with her intestines. However, if she had been born with this issue, O\u2019Rourke would have displayed severe symptoms. So what happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2017, \u201cEnty\u201d, the anonymous entertainment lawyer behind the famed Hollywood gossip site&nbsp;<em>Crazy Days and Nights<\/em>&nbsp;provided a highly disturbing explanation. In the blind item titled \u201cMolesters Killed Her\u201d (which was later revealed to be about O\u2019Rourke), Enty writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Back in the mid-80\u2019s was peak child molesting time in Hollywood. There was no internet. There were very very few mobile phones. Children came to the set where they were left alone by their parents. For the next 8 hours they were subject to every kind of horrible thing you can imagine. Drugs were commonplace. They were used to try and get the kids to not be so hysterical when being assaulted.<\/p><p>Producers loved casting shows with kids and tweens. If someone pitched a show that involved a handful of tweens with a dozen tween extras per week, it would get a green light. Even if the show was going to suck, and everyone knew it was going to suck, if you got the right pedo at a studio he would say yes just to come for the casting and taping of the pilot. As sad as it is to say, there were a lot of parents who told their kids to go off with the nice man in the suit and do what he says. It was a sick sick time.<\/p><p>It was just past the mid 80\u2019s when a producer came up with the idea of a tween show that not only would feature a rotating cast of extras, but would make the studio a bunch of money because they would film quickly and not hire any adults. Further, the faster they filmed, the more time they would have to molest all the kids that would be hanging around.<\/p><p>From the first day, it was the worst place on earth if you were a kid. The studio where the show was filmed also had several other shows being filmed there, most of which featured lots of children. Executives would drive over to Hollywood right before lunch and would stay at the studio for several hours each day.<\/p><p>Anyway, on this particular show, there was a special guest star. A very special guest star. Still not a tween, everyone knew who she was. Executives flocked to the studio that day to see her. She was first molested when she was 5 or 6 and had continued to be molested throughout her hit movies and also on a previous show.<\/p><p>One of the stars of the show who has spent her life bouncing in and out of rehab because of what she saw, and who was actually nominated for awards from the show, described the atmosphere that day.<\/p><p>\u201cA bunch of f**king pigs. I had just turned 12 or 13. I was the same age as the actress coming in. Maybe a little older. We had been shooting for months and I was old news. They knew I would do what they wanted, but they always wanted someone new. This was someone new and someone they all knew. They had it set up like a peep show almost. She had finished shooting that morning and they brought her out on a stage. The stage was used most of the time for a game show that was taped there. That game show is still on today. I can\u2019t watch it knowing what happened to her there.<\/p><p>They brought her out and the front four rows of this theatre were filled with guys who were already rubbing themselves. The girl was wearing a bikini. The show took place around a beach just so they could make these girls wear next to nothing. They had her walk around under the lights. The lights were focused on her and she couldn\u2019t really see out to the audience. She was squinting. It must have been blinding for her. They had her walk back and forth. Then they had her start dancing. All of these guys were doing what another star at that same studio got busted for. This went on for about 20 minutes. Then three of the guys took her to a different area of the studio.\u201d<\/p><p>The actress didn\u2019t see what happened, but about 45 minutes later, one of those three guys came running out and needed a set medic. Apparently they had inserted something inside the girl and things were bad. The medic came and the ambulance came. The parents of the girl were told some crap story. That crap story ended up killing the girl because the parents believed the executives. Two weeks later, the show finished shooting six episodes all at once and then everyone was sent on their way forever. No one wanted the kids around or any witnesses to what happened.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Inquisitive minds pieced together the clues in this post and determined that the TV series in question was&nbsp;<em>Rocky Road.&nbsp;<\/em>O\u2019Rourke appeared in the episode titled&nbsp;<em>Moscow on Boardwalk<\/em>&nbsp;which aired in May 1987. The actress of the same age would be Marcianne Warman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, one should take this story from a gossip site with a grain of salt. Honestly, I\u2019d much rather it be a complete fabrication. However, since the creation of his site in 2006, Enty earned&nbsp;widespread recognition&nbsp;in media due to his correct predictions. Indeed, Enty published stories about Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and Matt Lauer years before their abuses were exposed in mainstream media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, sadly, Enty\u2019s explanation makes sense. It would explain why O\u2019Rourke suddenly developed issues in her intestines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, Enty posted&nbsp;another blind item&nbsp;about O\u2019Rourke. And it was equally disturbing.

He also fled when spotted.<\/p><p>On the anniversary of her death in 1989, her family (mom, dad, stepdad, sister, grandparents) gathered at the tomb to remember her. It was very somber, they held hands, the sister placed a little stuffed Dumbo in front of the grave. As they were about to leave a man approached them and said something which frightened the mother. Her dad and stepdad each took her by an arm and led her away, back over to their car. Then they left. The unidentified man stayed behind and picked up the little Dumbo that the sister left and stuffed it in his pocket before leaving.<\/p><p>Now here\u2019s where things get really strange.<\/p><p>There wasn\u2019t much activity around her grave for several years. Then, in about 1991, her body was exhumed. It was done in the dark, so no one would notice. Her body was returned to the tomb three days later.<\/p><p>In 1992, her body was exhumed a second time. One of the police present was asked why they were exhuming her again. He said, \u201cWhat do you mean, \u2018again\u2019?<\/p><p>Turns out the first exhumation wasn\u2019t legal even though they had what looked like real police and really good paperwork. Why did they want with the body of a deceased 12 year old?<\/p><p>Surely it would warrant an investigation, right?<\/p><p>Nope.<\/p><p>Anyway, the coroner\u2019s office kept her for about a week before she was brought back and we reinterred her.<\/p><p>In 1994 somebody had smashed the face of her tomb, removed her body, cut some hair from her head, and (fortunately) placed her back in the crypt. A worker there saw the corpse and he said she looked remarkably well-preserved. He started to float the possibility that her body had actually been replaced with an exact replica.<\/p><p>The police investigation went nowhere. In 1999 there was another vandalism of the tomb. It wasn\u2019t another smashing, but red spray paint had been used again to write \u201cBK KILLED ME\u201d. In the summer of 2001 her family had her body moved to an unmarked below ground grave.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-42940\">O\u2019Rourke\u2019s original gravesite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Crazy Days and Nights<\/em>&nbsp;readers deduced that \u201cRR \u2013 All worn out\u201d was probably a reference to the show<em>&nbsp;Rocky Road<\/em>. \u201cAll worn out\u201d could have been a reference to O\u2019Rourke\u2019s being \u201cworn out\u201d by the abuse. \u201cBK KILLED ME\u201d could refer to Bruce Kane, the producer of&nbsp;<em>Rocky Road<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Poltergeist<\/em>&nbsp;was all about preying on children.

This scientific publication officially considers the word \u201cwomen\u201d to be offensive and somehow, the grotesque and thoroughly dehumanizing term \u201cbodies with vaginas\u201d is deemed better.
