Consider Poltergeist, directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) based on a story by Spielberg, who may have also ghost-directed the horror classic depending on who you ask. Or there’s The Goonies, technically directed by Richard Donner with another “story by” credit for Spielberg. According to the film’s child stars, he probably deserved a co-directing credit on the โ80s adventure classic.

This is an interesting take from Spielberg! It’s fascinating to see how filmmakers reflect on their past works and what they might do differently now. Poltergeist holds a special place in horror history, and it’s great to see it mentioned alongside such iconic directors.
