What kind of a doll grabs Robbie and drags him under his bed in the 1982 film "Poltergeist"?

"Poltergeist" is a 1982 American supernatural horror film directed by Tobe Hooper. Steven Spielberg wrote and produced, but had a clause in his contract to prevent him from directing another movie while he made "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial". Therefore, Hooper was selected to direct based on his work on "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre". It is the first and most successful entry in the "Poltergeist" film series. Set in a California suburb, the plot focuses on a family whose home is invaded by malevolent ghosts that abduct the family's younger daughter.

During their last night in the house, Steven leaves for the office in order to quit his job and Dana goes on a date, leaving Diane, Robbie, and Carol Anne alone in the house. The "Beast" then ambushes Diane and the children, aiming for a second kidnapping by attempting to restrain Robbie and Diane. Robbie is attacked by a clown doll in his bedroom, and Diane is attacked by an unseen force that moves her up the wall and over the ceiling in her room.

The "Poltergeist" franchise is believed by some to be cursed due to the premature deaths of several people associated with the film, a notion that was the focus of an E! True Hollywood Story. The film's success helped spawn a franchise consisting of two sequels and a remake of the same name which started production in late 2013, and was released in theaters on May 22, 2015.
