June 4, 1982 –
Paramount released the epic Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (which should have been titled, Battle of the Outrageous Toups) opened on this date.
Producer Harve Bennett viewed all the episodes of Star Trek and chose Star Trek: Space Seed as the best candidate for a sequel. Spock even remarks in the script that this would be interesting to return in a hundred years or so to see what type of civilization had grown there. This is the first time a feature film was made as a sequel to a specific television series episode.
On the same day, Paramount also released the horror classic, Poltergeist.
During all the horrors that proceeded while filming Poltergeist, only one scene really scared Heather O’Rourke: that in which she had to hold on to the headboard while a wind machine blew toys into the closet behind her. The young actress fell apart. Producer Steven Spielberg stopped everything, took her in his arms, and said that she would not have to do that scene again.
