Oceanview Forecast

"**Oceanview Forecast**" is the second episode of the analog horror series, Eventide Media Center, created by Aidan Chick. While it is not connected directly to the previous episode, this video shares the same setting of Massachusetts, USA.

## Synopsis

The video begins as a VHS recording of a weather forecast for the region of Misty Point, on the evening of Sunday, June 27th, though no year is provided. The forecast shows fog and high humidity, with a current temperature of 65°F. As the weather conditions are displayed, a ticker roll continues along the bottom, advertising local tours of the Misty Point Lighthouse and the abandoned cemetery.

However, within the span of about 30 minutes, the weather deteriorates, with storm conditions becoming so bad (with wind gusts accelerating to 70 MPH and higher, capping at 130 MPH) that the ticker roll announces that those living in Misty Point, Indigo Shoals and Lucid Cove must remain indoors; this is later escalated to a full evacuation. This is added to by the ticker roll warning people to stay away from the Misty Point Lighthouse and to cover any reflective surfaces. Radar screens display a massive storm engulfing the aforementioned coastal locations. At this time, a strange, lavender-colored interference is seen on the television screen.

The lavender light continues to disrupt the forecast repeatedly in a cyclical pattern, and the ticker roll warns of a contorted "face" in the light. This Face appears on the final radar screen in the imaging off the coast, before the light ends the forecast abruptly. The channel's title card appears, showing the Misty Point Lighthouse now covered in a thready, weblike membrane; it is revealed that the lighthouse is the source of the lavender beam. As the light focuses on the screen once more, the viewer sees the image of The Face in the midst of the light.

The video then cuts to the Oceanview Weather Channel card, and the video is stopped. Finally, the Eventide Media Center credits roll.

## "Bulletin"

Three days after the episode was posted to YouTube, on March 16, 2020 the Eventide Media Center official Twitter posted an image of The Face from the video, hovering above the Misty Point Lighthouse. The image is dated to the year "1943," which would lead viewers to presume that the invasion of this Face from the sea is an event that may be recurring every 20 or so years (or at least 1943 was the last time it had appeared up to that point).

A cluster of grave markers can be seen at the base of the lighthouse and is likely a reference to the abandoned cemetery mentioned in the episode.

## Trivia

* Based on the date and weather patterns, this occurrence most likely happened in 1982, though 1993 is another plausible possibility.
* The membranous substance clinging to the side of the lighthouse is literally connected to the abandoned cemetery at the base of the lighthouse.
* The name of the town of Ashenfield is shown onscreen in the forecast. This town would later be the setting for the ninth episode, "Fire Danger."
* Another town mentioned in this episode, Indigo Shoals, served as the setting for the Patreon-exclusive episode, "Bluefish Waterpark"
* The membrane on the Misty Point Lighthouse looks similar to the substance seen on the Penrose Tribar in the previous episode, "Unusual Architecture."
* If judging with both the entries and Twitter post supplementals, it is very possible that The Face is the earliest anomalous phenomenon of the Eventide Media Center timeline, with the image from 1943 (in light of the image from "Unusual Architecture" being undated).
* This entry is somewhat reminiscent of the horror film "The Fog."
