Spooky Lighting: Throwback to BATBOY

spookyThis lighting (a la Nic Christopher) always makes me think “spooky.” It was chosen for the final scene of “Bat Boy,” after all the murders and the sick revelations. I call this “spooky,” as opposed to “scary,” because there is something mysterious and ominous about it. There is nothing popping out — no red to suggest lots of blood and gore — but there is something unsettling about the blue and purple hitting the faces of the actors. The shadows on Deanna and Tyler are particularly effective, as we have seen them go from a seemingly normal husband and wife to liars, phonies. That, and the eerie musical finale to the show, will always feel “spooky” to me.
