The Hook, or the Hookman, [1] is an urban legend about a killer with a pirate-like hook for a hand attacking a couple in a parked car. In many versions of the story, the killer is typically portrayed as a faceless, silhouetted old man wearing a raincoat and rain hat that conceals most of his features, especially his face.
The Hook is a 1963 Korean War war film directed by George Seaton based on the 1957 novel L'Hameçon by Vahé Katcha. [2] The film's title comes from the translation of the title of the original novel rather than the Battle of the Hook. The film was shot off Santa Catalina Island, California.
