Movie/TV Trivia
Poltergeist
During the scene where Robbie (Oliver Robins) is being strangled, the clown's arms became extremely tight and Robins started to choke. When he screamed out, "I can't breathe!"

When Spielberg saw Robbins's face turning purple, he ran over and removed the clown's arms from Robbins's neck.
