TRIVIA: Technically this is the second collaboration between Director Steven Spielberg and composer Jerry Goldsmith. Spielberg allegedly had a big hand in Poltergeist and oversaw the post-production on that film and this film. This film would be the only time that Goldsmith would work with director John Landis, who had worked with the late Elmer Bernstein during that time period and was his composer of choice. He would later work with George Miller on Babe and his score ultimately replaced when the films tone changed from its original dark overtones to family fare and was replaced by Australian composer Nigel Westlake. Goldsmith and Joe Dante would work together frequently lasting over seven films spanning two decades before Goldsmiths untimely death in 2004. Goldsmith and Spielberg would not work together again except in a producing capacity, as John Williams is his personal composer.
