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.

Hope You Guessed His Name...

In SATAN'S TRIANGLE, Two Coast Guard members (Doug McClure and Michael Conrad) happen upon a yacht adrift in the mysterious area of the title. After noticing several dead bodies on the craft, McClure's character goes aboard, and discovers one survivor (Kim Novak). The bulk of the movie unfolds via flashback as the woman tells her tale of what happened.

This is another fantastic made-for-TV horror film from the golden age of such fare. Ms. Novak is her typically smoldering self. McClure is very good as the man who believes he's got things all figured out. Alejandro Rey plays the mysterious priest who just might be more than he seems to be. Jim Davis is the selfish fisherman who simply must catch the biggest marlin. Ed Lauter is his greedy partner.

The story is a suspenseful mystery that leads up to an utterly diabolical conclusion. One of the best of its sub-genre...
