Original ‘Poltergeist’ Star Oliver Robins Directing Horror Film ‘Celebrity Crush’ – Bloody Disgusting

As a child actor, Oliver Robins was tormented by a nightmarish clown doll in Poltergeist. Thirty-five years later, hes all grown up and set to direct a horror film of his own!

Weve just learned that Robins, who played Robbie Freeling in the original Poltergeist, will return to the horror world with Celebrity Crush, a new film he wrote and is set to produce, direct and star in. Robins will play a man, fittingly enough, who was a child actor in a (fictional) horror film about a killer clown back in the 80s!

The films biggest fan, 29 year-old Hilary Lynessa, always knew she was going to meet and fall in love with Jonathan Blaklee, the star of B-horror movie Chain Face Clown (1985). For Hilary, Jonathan is the perfect soulmate. She has idolized him and the film ever since she can remember. Hilary has a collection of Chain Face Clownmemorabilia that would impress even the most ardent fan. But, there is one item she has yet to attain Jonathan Blaklee.

After meeting Jonathan at a horror convention, she imprisons the ex-child actor with the misguided hope Jonathan will one day fall in love with her.

Im very excited to have the opportunity to act again in this very dark thriller, said Robins, who hasnt appeared in a movie in over 30 years.

Alissa Schneider will co-star with Robins.

Celebrity Crush will be shot late July in St. Petersburg, Florida
