Lighthouses have been around for a long time. At one time they were invaluable to the shipping industry, making sure boats got into harbor without crashing into reefs or the shore. Advances in technology have made lighthouses mostly obsolete, though; GPS and LORAN killed off the use of lighthouses in commercial shipping due to being much more accurate and cheaper to use and operate. Nowadays lighthouses are left alone for historical sites and tourist traps. The only places left where lighthouses have any serious use are where radio might not work, where the sea conditions change radically, or in places like harbors with narrow entrances or seamounts surrounded by barely submerged ridges where it is vital that the pilot of a ship have a blatantly obvious marker of where not to steer in the event of an electronics failure or disorienting weather conditions. Despite their current uselessness, lighthouses have been used as settings in modern and old stories, often in a scary capacity. It could be because the small number of people needed to staff a lighthouse leads to stories about recluses working the lighthouse. Or it could be that lighthouses being usually located on a lone island or a distant cliff makes them isolated and creepy. Add some Ominous Fog rolling in off the coast for extra atmosphere. The height also makes a lighthouse an ideal setting for a Climbing Climax, and relighting a lighthouse is a common quest for heroes. Of course, it can just as easily be a Subverted Trope. The protagonists could stumble upon a lighthouse that initially appears abandoned but is actually inhabited and well maintained. Lighthouses do not necessarily have to be haunted to be good for a setting; they can be just as atmospheric on their own. But the characters have to interact with it in some way. See also Windmill Scenery, as windmills are nowadays used very similarly to lighthouses as atmospheric, scenic elements. |

One Father Brown story features the "fake lighthouse" trope: the murderer has an old tower on his property that's supposedly curse and has caught fire once or twice before. In fact he deliberately sets fire to it, trying to arrange for the victim to drown after mistaking the blaze for the lighthouse and hitting a reef. Fortunately, Father Brown was at hand with a gardening hose. | |

In the American Dad! episode "Gold Top Nuts," the Smiths survive a horrific plane crash and make their way to a deserted island with a lighthouse. Inside they find a broken radio, cans of pumpkin spice mix, and a VHS tape that only has a 30-second commercial for Gold Top Nuts as their source of entertainment. As the episode progresses, they forget who they are and take clues for human civilization from the commercial. Once they make it back, it's revealed that magnetic bedrock on the island caused their memory loss, and had made the lighthouse's previous occupants go insane as well. | |

The Goodies episode "A Little Light Housekeeping" features some typically surreal antics in and around a lighthouse. The Goodies are stuck working there after misreading an advert for "a little light housekeeping", with the isolation and hostile weather quickly getting to them. Finding a sea shanty about how comically cursed and haunted the lighthouse is (to the point of an entire verse being censored, quote, "because it's too horrible even to talk about") doesn't help, either. When the lamp runs out of oil, Graeme's attempt to use the foghorn as a temporary solution fails when he eats said foghorn, forcing Bill to dig for fuel by candlelight. While he does indeed strike oil, it's accidentally ignited by the candle and turns the lighthouse into an improvised rocket ship, leaving the trio to desperately turn it around and go back to Earth. | |

Friday the 13th: The Series has the episode "The Pirate's Promise", in which the cursed artifact the characters are seeking is a foghorn used by a lighthouse keeper to summon the ghost of a pirate to give him the bodies of the descendants of his mutinous crew in exchange for his lost treasure. Between the wind, the Ominous Fog, the buoy, and the foghorn itself, all the creepy aspects of the trope are played up, while the plot bears a strong resemblance to that of The Fog. There's also one scene where, to hide from the villain, one of the characters has to actually hang off the side of the lighthouse platform, but it isn't during the climax. | |

In The Southern Reach Trilogy, the lighthouse is a prominent feature in Area X, which expeditions tend to be drawn to, secretly directed by the Southern Reach to distract them from the topographical anomaly, and where the expedition members' journals tend to end up in. It's made out to be a safe point but it's obvious that something horrible has happened inside at some point and someone's tried to turn it into a stronghold. There's another, ruined lighthouse on the island and much is made of a possible connection between the two. It's not the lighthouse itself that's important, but the lens. | |

That How We Got Here opening is then followed by the film showing a boy making the carving and setting it to float downriver, until at the end, the lighthouse keeper finds it again. | |

The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Aquiel" was about a mysterious disappearance onboard a subspace comms relay station in interstellar space, which was as close to a lighthouse In Space as the writers could get without delving too far into Space Is an Ocean. The plot ultimately owes more to The Thing (1982) than a typical "lighthouse mystery" plot. | |
