Comments
Actually, the reference to green light coming from behind the guy's eyes is a reference to the reflective properties of an animal's eyes. Nowadays we're used to only seeing it in nightvision wilderness footage and flash photography of predators, but animal eyes also have that odd reflective property when they stand at the edge of a lightsource in the dark. The same effect is used by H. G. Wells in The Island of Doctor Moreau.
