Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on October 31, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the fictional Caribbean island of "San Sebastian" appears in RKO's The Ghost Ship, I Walked With a Zombie, and Zombies on Broadway?

haunted? cursed?

[edit]

The "haunted/cursed ship" aspect is only indirectly suggested, let alone developed, and there's no ambiguity about what's going on -- the captain is nuts -- though in a complex and psychologically interesting way. He's one of several complex villains in the Lewton films. This is not a horror film. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 15:42, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will review. TAP 15:22, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not much I can see, however in the lead it says 'The ship's crew, however, believes the vessel to ...' — believes ⇒ believed? TAP 15:23, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For films we talk in the present tense as the story still exists! Believes is correct I believe!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:17, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image of the ship

[edit]

An image taken as a screenshot shows the kind of ship that was involved, partly cargo, partly passenger ship, a kind of "tramp" steamer that was most often seen in the 1930s and has now virtually disappeared. There is no other image available of this ship as all other images show interior views or deck, pilot house or steam stack only. It is used for illustrative purposes and has a non-free rationale provided. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 01:24, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Horror Project

[edit]

I looked this film up and it says that this is also in the horror genre as well so shouldn't it be a part of WikiProject Horror?--Paleface Jack (talk) 19:37, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
