A new fan poster for WandaVision combines Marvel's show with the classic horror movie PoltergeistThe '80s were flooded with now-iconic horror films, and in 1982, Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist was released. Poltergeist stands out among several flicks about demonic spirits, many of which were even influenced by the '80s film. The movie may not be considered scary by today's standards; however, one of the most memorable scenes is when the spirits reach out to Heather O'Rourke's character through the family's television.

While Warner Bros. has had many successful films since Poltergeist came out, Disney has turned the Marvel Cinematic Universe into one of its most valuable pieces of IP. In fact, Avengers: Endgame currently holds the record as the highest-grossing movie ever made. WandaVision stands as Disney+'s first Marvel TV show, and the series itself also revolves around different eras of TV sitcoms. The story for WandaVision was still shrouded in mystery throughout the first episodes of the series. In episode 4, viewers finally started to get answers, with it being explained that WandaVision was controlling the citizens of Westview to create her own sitcom starring her and Vision.

Artist thebutcherbilly has effectively combined these two unrelated franchises in a new piece of WandaVision artwork. The piece shows Wanda reaching out from the inside of an '80s TV set as Vision hovers in the background. The artist's full piece can be seen below:

Despite being nearly 40 years old, Poltergeist has remained a landmark film in the horror genre. Hooper's film received two mediocre sequels in 1986 and 1988, as well as a remake in 2015, but none of them were able to match the original's success. While maybe not infiltrating pop culture as much as films like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13thPoltergeist is still being talked about to this day. This is partly due to iconic images such as the TV scene and the ongoing debate on who actually directed Poltergeist: Steven Spielberg or Hooper.

Likewise, WandaVision is Marvel's newest release, but the series is already shaping up to make a lasting effect on the MCU. Scarlet Witch will return in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which, along with Spider-Man 3, is expected to combine multiple universes. The surprise cameo at the end of WandaVision episode 5 "On a Very Special Episode..." already started to incorporate non-MCU Marvel characters into Disney's franchise. It's theorized that Quicksilver could be the real villain in WandaVision, or as this poster suggests, Wanda has become a villain herself.
