2021-11-13 17:42:39 +0000 UTCYou can actually go visit the lighthouse Stevie Wayne's character works at in the film, or you could before Covid. It's a popular tourist destination now, up in Point Reyes, Marin County, California. I went there and walked the 313 steps down to the lighthouse(which is a lot smaller than they make it look in the film). It's usually always foggy there too but the day I went it was perfectly clear. Forgot to talk about the film. I like it, it's probably my second favorite Carpenter film after The Thing, but it's one that grew on me over time. I really do appreciate the subtle details, Carpenter's use of light and shadow in this film. The scene with the 3 fishmermen on the boat when the ghost ship comes and you see the ghosts silhouetted against the foggy background with no music playing and Al whispers "Who is that?" like a scared little kid. It's one of those scenes that's always stayed with me.

Now you guys need to do "Zombie" from Lucio Fulci (1979)... it has an unusual ending, but I don't want to say more than that...
