Description
I drew this in 1982. So long ago, I forgot the source. Maybe a Cinefex magazine. Anyway, the "Beast" in the finished film looks different---the monster puppet was filmed underwater to add a weird effect. Hair was added, but IMHO, that was a bad touch.I liked the bald, skeletal version better. I didn't plan very well when I started drawing---so much didn't fit on the paper!
In the novelization by James Kahn, the Beast's name is abbreviated as g'Hala.

Awesome ! I read the novel as well, i think the complete Beast's name is Fryrg'Halaghul, right?

I misplaced the book.Β The nameΒ was a tongue-twister, though. I made a few more Poltergeist drawings, but lost them over the years. Thanks for the compliment.

And they had to turn him into a old, singing pedophile in the sequel.

The novelization hit the shelves the same time the movie was out. The book was better in many ways. Definitely worth reading.

I like that you used the correct name. Not alot of people now that unless they've read the novel.

I agree with you. Bald monster's much more scarier--kind of like a combination between Nosferatu and the Slender Man.
