Seeing a poster for the 1988 Super Bowl XXII in a room of Carol Ann in the movie Poltergeist is unusual, considering the film’s release in 1982. Furthermore, on the headboard, above the bed, is a Los Angeles Ram football helmet. Los Angeles translates to “The Angels,” while the ram represents the sacrifice.
Six years later, on the day of the 1988 Super Bowl XXII, actress Heather O’Rourke, who played Carol Anne in the movie, fell ill. The following morning, she collapsed, suffered cardiac arrest caused by septic shock due to intestinal stenosis, and died later that day at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, California.
San Diego is the same city that hosted Super Bowl XXII on Sunday, January 31, 1988.
