'Family Guy' skewers 'Poltergeist'

Lukas Kendall at Film Score Monthly with a heads up:

Next Sunday's (5/7/06) episode of Family Guy is a Poltergeist parody for which Ron Jones wrote a terrific score emulating Goldsmith's OST. The original plan was to license and re-record the actual cues but when that proved too expensive Ron did a sound-alike -- which is so evocative of Jerry in orchestration it's really uncanny. They used a 55-piece orchestra (huge for TV) on the Fox stage including the specialized instruments like the bass slidewhistle and waterphone, etc. There's a great Lord of the Rings joke thrown in there too.

But what about Poltergeist 2!?
