Trivia
This was originally broadcast as a part of ABC's Movie of the Week.

Goofs
The SOS sent by the Requoit is wrong. It's depicted as one dash followed by three dots. An SOS is actually three dots, three dashes, and three dots. However, while the code isn't an SOS, there's no reason the boat couldn't be transmitting an incorrect SOS, especially considering there's quite a lot of evidence something supernatural is occurring. The nonstop repeating "dash dot dot dot" the boat is transmitting would still be interpreted as a distress signal.

Crazy credits
The closing credits differ from the film as originally shown on ABC. The current version has the credits sped up (as is common in TV cuts), with the music fading out and the antagonist's laugh coming at the end.

In the original cut, the antagonist laughs first, then the credits roll at normal speed, and the music is different, being similar to that played over the Executive Producer credits at the beginning of the film, orchestrated differently and rising to a crescendo at the end.

I remember seeing this the "second" time it was on

I remember when this was second run (it was part of some weekly TV-movie series, similar to the NBC Mystery Movie but without the recurring characters). I missed the original running, but a lot of kids at school were talking about it the next morning, so when reruns came around (maybe 6 months later), I made sure to watch it.

I remember that it was eerie (not really frightening, but more suspenseful), especially the twist at the end (won't give it away). Probably not the best movie for a nine-year-or-so-old kid to see on his own (thanks to my parents having friends over to play bridge or something, I got to see it on colour TV instead of my dad's old b/w) but at least I had something to talk about the next day at school, with all the other kids who missed it the first time! Had no idea who the actors were at the time, but Doug McClure's acting was the best. Everyone else's wasn't terrific, but good enough for TV, and the writing was stellar - too bad they churn out such junk and charge you $8 or whatever it is now, when you used to see good stuff for "free" (you just had to put up with commercials).

Would like to see it again, because the rerun (1976?) was the last time I saw it.
