Poltergeist (1982)

In our modern world, where giant flat screens are almost always seen mounted high upon our walls, this lonely image of Carol Ann clutching a furniture-sized television screen filled with white noise would never work. But in 1982, the simplicity of this image was, and still is, eerily effective. Minimalistic, yet haunting, this one image visually connects the most memorable scene of the film and capitalizes on the heavily marketed “They’re here” tagline.
