Detractor's Commentary: The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues

As the Moravian philosopher Edmund Husserl was wont to say "it is what it is". It's not "Curse of the Demon" (my favorite...except for the opening monster reveal) and, thankfully, it's not the 2006 version of Wicker Man.

From Wikipedia (well-known to be infallible) "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" (Jules Verne) The title refers to the distance traveled under the various seas and not to any depth attained, since 20,000 leagues (80,000 km) is nearly twice the circumference of the Earth;[6] the greatest depth reached in the novel is four leagues. This distinction becomes clearer when the book's French title is correctly translated: rendered literally, it should read “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas” (not “Sea”). The book employs metric leagues, which are four kilometers each.

And then there is the Beast from 20,000 fathoms, which, I think, predates this one.
