Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes with a built-in photo mode, and some fans are using it to recreate a memorable scene from The Lighthouse.
The Lighthouse, which stars Williem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, depicts two lighthouse keepers who begin to go insane while stranded at their post. At one point, Defoe's character tells Pattinson's that it is "bad luck to kill a seabird," and now Animal Crossing fans are staging that moment within New Horizons.

Gulliver the seagull frequently washes up onto player's beaches in New Horizons, and players are supposed to help him repair his communication device so he can get in contact with his crew. Before waking him up, however, some players are using his washed up appearance as an opportunity to reference The Lighthouse.
Using the photo mode's black and white setting, and equipping a tool to pose next to Gulliver with, fans are turning New Horizon's charming, friendly art style into a chilling recreation of Robert Eggers' film.
