A 1960s horror film still of a lighthouse keeper in a fringed vest, recoiling in terror inside the top of a lighthouse, lit dramatically by the lantern's beam.

A lighthouse keeper recoils in terror from something he has seen in the storm. This 1960s gothic horror-fantasy scene is captured on Gevaert Color film, creating a vibrant, high-contrast image with rich blacks and a distinct period palette. The chiaroscuro lighting, cast by the single powerful beam of the lighthouse, models the keeper's face in dramatic shadow and highlights the eerie beauty of the Fresnel lens.
