POLTERGEIST_g'Hala

I drew this in 1982. So long ago, I forgot the source. Maybe a Cinefex magazine. Anyway, the "Beast" in the finished film looks different---the monster puppet was filmed underwater to add a weird effect. Hair was added, but IMHO, that was a bad touch.

I liked the bald, skeletal version better. I didn't plan very well when I started drawing---so much didn't fit on the paper!

In the novelization by James Kahn, the Beast's name is abbreviated as g'Hala.
