It shows how much this film still has the power to move people but it also means a great deal to me that something I wrote affected someone in this way. It'll help me keep going with this. Thank you.

I...I am stunned at how well written this piece is. I saw Poltergeist in the theater at 7 years old (we were supposed to have gone to a Disney movie, but my 8 year old best friend convinced me Poltergeist would be a better bet). Seeing the film at what seems to have been a pivotal week in my 7 year old youth, a bell was rung in my head that resonates to this day, and the film for a moment helped me define (and set the bar) for family love, a mothers love, financial success, and a fun sense of danger (with something barely seen lurking just beyond the view through the darkness outside). After seeing the film so many times over the years, it's hard for me to find a piece of writing that does justice to the film - your descriptions brightened the picture for me, and captured some of my own unspoken understandings about the message of the film (and it's somewhat timeless appeal) that have stood the test of the last three decades. Thanks for sharing this piece.

He was Spielberg’s agent at the time and said Steven directed that scene. Tobe Hooper was nowhere on set.Joe Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960803506051969149noreply@blogger.com
