What does "(Sean Astin's daughter also appears in The Return of the King as Sam's daughter Elanor Gamgee, so that Jackson has worked with three generations of Astins.)" have to do with The Frighteners? Sontra 01:09, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't, so I deleted it. I also deleted the bit about the ghost sfx foreshadowing the LOTR army of ghosts sequence; the army bit was written years before this movie. Lots42 (talk) 00:20, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The Frighteners DVD cover.jpg
Image:The Frighteners DVD cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

2-disc DVD is a "director's cut?"
I rented both DVDs from Netflix recently, and the film was the same cut that I had on VHS from the 1990s. The 2nd disc is a very long documentary about the filming, made by Peter Jackson and company, for "the laserdisc release." Several times during the interviews, particularly discussing cut scenes from the theatrical cut, Jackson refers to them being "seen for the first time on this Laserdisc release." But none of those scenes were in the film. Can someone else confirm or deny that the DVD version is somehow longer or different from the original theatrical and initial home video release? If not, I'll strike that from the appropriate section.

I still have the 2nd disc documentary, and since this is a candidate, can review the article with the documentary for accuracy. Will try to add better writing, too, as that seems to be the last point for GA status. -- David Spalding ( ☎   ✉   ✍  ) 18:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

A cleanup page has been created for WP:FILMS' spotlight articles. One element that is being checked in ensuring the quality of the articles is the non-free images. Currently, one or more non-free images being used in this article are under discussion to determine if they should be removed from the article for not complying with non-free and fair use requirements.

Spoilers in the first paragraph
"However, the spirit of a mass murderer appears able to attack the living and the dead, posing as the Grim Reaper, prompting Frank to investigate the supernatural presence"

Is a huge spoiler for something that is hinted at but not revealed until the second half of the movie. I'm removing this 2603:8000:D400:7A96:FC13:89F1:728B:E076 (talk) 20:55, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
