Nice fact rdavey!  I had also heard that the scene of Heather O'Rourke holding on to the bed and screaming when the closet is sucking everything in is the only take.  She was so terrified that Steven Spielberg promised that she would never have to do that again so what we see on screen is her being genuinely terrified of the stunt and everything going on all around her.

So, yes, the film - Poltergeist (1982)
The poster in question, there are two - obviously the Star Wars Style A folded one sheet but also the Alien poster by the closet door (thinking it's a commercial poster).

The eerie poster fact is Robbie has a poster in his room for Superbowl XXII (you can see it in the night shot below next to Star wars), which would not take place for another six years and Heather O'Rourke died the day after Superbowl Sunday of 1988 of intestinal issues.    :(

I heard that fact about the super bowl poster as well. I just thought the skeleton fact was pretty cool and creepy. SO how many bonus points do I get lol.

Here's a couple.  Looks like a couple of made up titles in there as well.

Roddy had good taste. ;)

The OS is The Son Of Dr Jekyll and the HS is House of Dracula.

Good stuff and great screen grab, Matt!

Dario Argento's Demons in the movie theater lobby there are a bunch of posters. I cannot find a screen shot of it.

There is a tumblr --- http://movieinmovie.tumblr.com/ devoted to screen caps
of film scenes where the actors are watching classic movies or movie posters are seen
in the background.
You can easily scan their archive of thumbnails if you want to zero in on poster use.

I just saw The Blob (1958) for the first time.  Guess what (fictional) movie is playing in the famous scene where people are running from the theater? 

"The Vampire and The Robot"



It looks like a black snipe over a 40x60 Forbidden Planet!  Interesting choice given that FP was only 2 years old at the time.
