Morbius
(1,077 posts)What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff... Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanos. The dead rising from the grave. Dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!

(40,319 posts)The story was set on a fictional New England island, but filmed in Mendocino and Fort Bragg in Northern California. Early morning scenes with the sun rising in the Atlantic had to be shot in the late afternoon with the sun setting in the Pacific.
