It's always difficult for me to pick just one image from a film when choosing a screenshot for my Facebook cover photo. In the case of Poltergeist, it was very hard not to pick Carol Ann (Heather O'Rourke) with the television set, which is easily the most iconic image of the film -- and that would have been a good one. The shot below, however, has always stuck with me. It's a kiss that might have been their last one ever, but it gives Steve (Craig T. Nelson) the courage to let his determined wife, Diane (Jo Beth Williams), enter into the great unknown to save their child. It's the scariest moment of their lives, and yet for us, it's the most reassuring moment in an amazing film.
