Shadow Play is a 1986 American supernatural horror film directed by Susan Shadburne and starring Dee Wallace and Cloris Leachman. It follows a playwright who lost her fiancé seven years prior. She begins having reoccurring dreams about his death and suffers from writer's block. The film centers around the lighthouse where the tragedy took place. Throughout the film there are many subtle lighthouse effects and references. The Shadow Play within the story itself is literally a timing of each beat after another on the spinning of the beacon light of the lantern room. ()
