* ''Series/RoundTheTwist'' took place at a lighthouse.

* ''Series/FridayThe13thTheSeries'' has the episode "The Pirate's Promise", in which the cursed artifact the characters are seeking is a foghorn used to summon the ghost of a pirate to give him the bodies of the descendants of his mutinous crew in exchange for his lost treasure. Between the wind, the OminousFog, the buoy, and the foghorn itself, all the creepy aspects of the trope are played up, while the plot bears a strong resemblance to that of ''Film/TheFog''. There's also one scene where, to hide from the villain, one of the characters has to actually hang off the side of the lighthouse platform, but it isn't during the climax.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Catherine%27s_Lighthouse St. Catherine's Lighthouse]], a lighthouse built in the 1300's. The man who originally began construction of it (He died one year before it's completion) was to face excommunication for plundering wine from a shipwreck of a ship heading to a monastery, and his act of contrition was to build it.

* ''Film/TheFog1980'' (1980). A lighthouse that doubles as a radio station is attacked by ghosts and the heroine must scramble to the very top to avoid them.

* ''Series/FridayThe13thTheSeries'' had the episode "The Pirate's Promise" in which the cursed artifact the characters were seeking was a foghorn used to summon the ghost of a pirate to give him the bodies of the descendants of his mutinous crew in exchange for his lost treasure. Between the wind, the OminousFog, the buoy, and the foghorn itself, all the creepy aspects of the trope are played up, while the plot bears a strong resemblance to that of ''Film/TheFog1980''. There's also one scene where, to hide from the villain, one of the characters has to actually hang off the side of the lighthouse platform, but it isn't during the climax.

* ''Series/TheGoodies'' episode "A Little Light Housekeeping" features some typically surreal antics in and around a lighthouse [[spoiler:and it also turns into a rocket]].

* An episode of ''Series/TheGoodies'' called "Lighthouse-Keeping Loonies" takes place in the Jolly Rock Lighthouse. The trio are stuck working there after misreading an advert for "a little [[TheProblemWithPenIsland light housekeeping]]", with the isolation and hostile weather quickly getting to them. Finding a sea shanty about how comically cursed and haunted the lighthouse is (to the point of an entire verse being censored, quote, "because it's too horrible even to talk about") doesn't help, either. When the lamp runs out of oil, Graeme's attempt to use the foghorn as a temporary solution fails [[ItMakesSenseInContext when he eats said foghorn]], forcing Bill to dig for fuel by candlelight. While he does indeed strike oil, its contact with the candle causes such an explosive reaction that the lighthouse is turned into an improvised rocket ship, leaving the trio to desperately turn it around and go back to Earth.

* The ''Literature/{{Shivers}}'' novella, ''The Secret of Fern Island'', revolves around the protagonist and his bestie - both of them daredevils challenging each other to a bet - to explore the derelict lighthouse, at the edge of the titular island where a young boy drowned on a fishing trip years ago. They got more than they bargained for when they end up being trapped inside said lighthouse.

* ''Series/{{CSINY}}"": The season 6 cliffhanger finale, "Vacation Getaway" sees Danny, Lindsay and their toddler, Lucy, visiting a lighthouse on Long Island during a much-needed vacation. Unfortunately, serial killer Shane Casey catches up with them just as they reach it's top. He lets Lindsay take Lucy back down, but he and Danny have a showdown that lasts into the night, complete with Don, Stella & Mac showing up to help Danny escape. Casey goes over the railing after the light is turned on right in his face, but all is not as it seems.
