We are closing out Spooky October with this very dark film that stars two men and an aggressive number of seagulls. Below is your further reading for this week:
*This is a great short primer on the many perils of lighthouse life. If you’re interested in a fuller story, both we and the filmmakers relied heavily on this book.
*Why do we see dead people? This article, which we quoted from in the episode, provides few explanations but lots of food for thought.
*Read Poe’s full manuscript for The Lighthouse here – seriously, it won’t take long.
*Listen to some classic sea shanties used in the film as well as this spooky song about a haunted lighthouse!
